I have heard the 201, 205 and 207s by KEF and they are some of the best sounding speakers the company has made. I had original BBC monitors two decades ago and this new Reference lines speaks to their standing from that time. They are smooth sounding, with nice bass extension, and really nice mid-ranges. Favor the female voice and Jazz and Chamber.
The other similar-sounding speakers I have heard that match are the Harbeth 40.1 and the new Pioneer EX series. You may want to check those out. Do not know the Focal speakers.
