Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K)

@vermeer I went through a similar exercise earlier this year.  I spent a couple months listening to speakers at that price point.  My end choice came down to 3 speakers, the Persona 3F, Sopra 2 and Legacy Focus SE.  I took the Personas and Sopras home together for a side by side comparison.  They were the two most detailed/accurate/revealing speakers I had heard.  In the end I chose the Persona.  The Sopra by comparison was flat and laid back.  Both are very similar when compared to all others and it may have to do with the beryllium.

I chronicled my search here.

@gpgr4blu the Persona has both a beryllium tweeter and mid.  I would say accurate, detailed, revealing and at times forward.  I wouldn't say hard and bright at all.  They are well balanced.  Perhaps you like a more laid back, "musical" sound?  Like the Vandersteens.  That's a great sound as well, but different.  The downside of that to my ears is the lack of depth and detail.  It could be that digital music was the source which has a tendency to be hard and bright.  Did you listen to them with vinyl or a tube amp or pre?
