Which speakers to be ''in'' the music?

Hey everyone, I started my journey not so long ago and tried different entry level models of brands such as Triangle, Paradigm and Monitor Audio. Right now I listen to a pair of Vandersteen 2ce Sig II which do a lot of good things for me. But what I want is not for the music to be laid out in front of me, clearly organized, I want to be IN the music, I want depth and verticalilty, good imaging but I don’t need super precise or realistic soudstage. I listen to all sorts of music but mainly Jazz, classical and electronic music. Which brand of speakers would have such philosophy? Due to covid it’s really hard to organize listening session so I would like to have some insights before booking appointments. My budget for the next pair will be around 7.5K usd, so kind of entry/mid level still. Any suggestions?

I am french, so sorry for the clunky english.

Best regards,

Maurice

Graham Audio LS 5/9 have beautiful rendition of instruments, piano, brass and especially violin sounds great, but it is male voices that really impress me, I was looking for a long time for speaker that could reproduce male voices in a satisfying way and I feel I found that with the 5/9, most speakers I feel do a good job with female voices, but I feel very few do good male voices, maybe because to me it sounds like 90% of the speaker market are thin sounding and very fatigued after longer listening sessions.
Spendor Classic line would be a good bet too, as would QLN.
