I’d have to concur with the Harbeth 30.1 / 30.2 or 40.1 / 40.2.
Very few speakers have mids and highs to rival these when driven by well matched components. Very similar to the Quad ESL 57’s in that respect, which have the best mids of any speaker. Very magical, musical, airy sound with great resolution of detail, transparency, soundstage and imaging. Better dynamics, and clarity than most other dynamic speakers, which rivals ESL’s and ribbon drivers (e.g. Magnepan).
I can suggest other dynamic speakers that have much better bass, while having great mids and highs, but they’re much larger, and more expensive (e.g. Legacy Audio Aeris, etc.). None of those mentioned above can really match them, other than perhaps the higher end Wilson’s, TAD’s, Nola's and maybe Raidho.
For my money, I’d go with the Harbeth 30.1 or 30.2 with the MacIntosh Tube / SS hybrid integreted amps or, possibly the Hegel integreted amps.

You won’t look back.
