Midrange Better Than Harbeth or Spendor?

I recently auditioned a pair of Harbeth SHL5's and Sendor S8's and was really impressed with the mids on both of these speakers. I was wondering if folks out there who have first hand experience could recommend other speakers that equal or surpass these two in the midrange. Thank you.

Mids? Apogee Stages if you can find them and cope with them if they break. Best, most natural midrange tonality at any price, along with sweet, relaxing highs
(at the cost of deep bass or much soundstage).
Above is IMHO... (No flames please, just one former owner's long-held opinion.)

How are vocals on Harbeths?
I've always thought ribbons did
the best job with vocals but I'm curious how Harbeths compare in this area. A lot of dynamic speakers fall short in this area (to my ears) with buzzy, digital-sounding vocals even though they sound fine othewise.
Thanks in advance.
