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.

I am a planar speaker fan but if I have to go after dynamic speakers, I definitely like Spendor and Harbeth monitors. I would also include the Stirlings Totems in the same league. But since your questions was on better midrange, then the original Quads and Apogee Stages would have better midrange than the aforementioned speakers.

rgs92: I am a big Apogee fan and owner as you can see from my system. Regarding the Stages, I agree with you. They have a killer midrnge. In fact, I also find their bass to be satisfactory except for the very bottom end. They sound much bigger than their size suggests, of course depending upon the amp ----- I am using Musical Fidelity KW on them, which is kinda overkill. However, I am doing a project with the Stages: I am stcaking two pairs. We will see if it works out, may be even generate some deep bass.

Will post details on my system thread.
