I agree with comments, with a budget of $16k you can get a lot of speakers.
Canuck Audio Mart is chock full of speakers, some barely used, usually much lower price than new.
I personally try to buy nothing new. Most stereo shops also have lots of used gear you can audition.
B&W seem to be power hungry, and not a good match for tube amps.
Ask Chatgpt about amps to drive B&W, see what it says?
