best speakers for vocals?

Hi, I was wondering what people's thoughts are on speakers that are best for vocal centric music? I am looking for speakers that are best at reproducing vocals, especially female in the most lifelike, 3-dimensional, airy, emotional manner. I am trying to recreate a lifelike, live show, front row sound. To this end, I prefer a speaker that can create a holographic soundstage with a palpable vocal sound with some weight.

I listen mainly to jazz, pop, adult contemporary, down tempo.

My budget is < $15,000.

Sorry, I didn't read all answers, so my apologize if I repeat some.

May be the speaker is not the only thing to consider. Interest of some speakers comes from the amplifier that you can use, as SET ones.
If you want something "plug and play" and compact, you can consider a full audio note system.
If you have more space dedicated to the hifi usage and if you are able to put the hands in the machine, you can have a look on old Klipschorn or Altec speakers.

I still have in mind a wonderful session, 50s jazz, all mono, with SET amps and voice of theater. It was just great.

But the amp is a big part of the sound!

Enjoy
