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.

Among those three you are looking at, I would probably get the Focal Utopias.  I have listened to the B&Ws driven by a PrimaLuna and they are not the best match and I personally have never been impressed by the Electras.  The Kantas are a better speaker.  Among those three, Utopias, no question.  

Two alternatives that I offer:

For the same level of detail but with better imaging and soundstaging look at the Raidho X-1s.  Your room is plenty big enough for them and they need a little space to breath.  I offer these new and there is a pair of the XT-1s out here used on Agon.   The XT-1s are not from me and I don't know the person that is selling them.  

Another alternative would be the Verdant Audio Bambusa AL-1.  The way the crossover is designed, it has a slightly emphasized mid-range which will deliver exactly what you are looking for and have a full, 30 day return policy on them.
