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.

Great choices both. I do have first-hand experience. Take a look at FJ (limited distribution channel-made in Germany) and ATC (UK).

Have heard neither, see if you can audition the Mark and Daniels Rubys, they crossover at 900HZ and have a ribbon tweeter. They cover the full range like real instruments and vocals IMHO

Not a ribbon tweeter but a form of the Heil AMT if I'm not mistaken.

Bcollins, what is it about the Harbeth and Spendor midranges that is to your liking.

Jean-Marie Reynaud have some additional immediacy and emotion.
I listen only to female vocals and acoustic musement. JMR were noticeably better than any Harbeth or Spendor.
And well balanced through all frequencies - where I could hear the different drivers on Sonus Faber.
Email Bob Neill at Amherst Audio, he's the U.S. importer of Reynaud.
