Speakers suggestion help


Hi, I have come across 3 different pair of speakers within the same price.. It's hard for me to pick one... please suggest..
- Focal Electra 1038 BE - B&W 805 D3 - Focal JM Lab Diva Utopia.

I plan to add a sub into the system so bass is not a factor, I need a high and clear vocal mid-range...
Amp - Prima Luna EVO 400

Thank you.

Auditioning speakers is not easy.  I went to a dealer a few weeks ago and listened to a pair of Vivid Kaya 90’s.  I was very impressed and identified them among the short list of speakers I might buy.  I then asked the dealer for a second audition but at a store branch that was much closer to my home.  The difference in sound was night a day.  Of course everything was different ... the room size and shape, all of the equipment used (amps, cables etc).  My lesson here was that I will not buy a new speaker unless I have an in home demo or it can be returned.  The room and equipment just make too big a difference.  This has been said on this forum a thousand times but it’s the first time I have been confronted with just how dramatic a difference it can make. Suggest you do the same.  If the dealer is not up for either option find a new dealer or new speaker options (Tekton, Revel, Tannoy, Maggie’s, ML, Vivid) are all great sounding speakers.  They just need to be heard in your home, room, equipment.
