Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K)


I’m looking for the most accurate and resolving speakers (budget is <= 15K). Paradigm Persona 3F, Kef Reference 3 or Focal Sopra 2 are some of the options I can think of. Any opinions on how these compare? Should I had other options to this shortlist? The amplifier is the (absolutely extraordinary) Nagra Classic AMP.

Thanks! :)

Comments regarding Electrostats- audio doctor Way out of Touch .
I own conventional Loudspeakers as well as New Martin Logan powered 
 24 bit DSP and room correction And powered subwoofer dual  units.  The purity of the stat panel  and speed of 
Attack is  second to none. Conventional drivers mass is much heavier ,,thst bring said no drivers are perfect for everyyhing.
And there us no compression what so ever.especially If kept under 100 db output 
Which I always do. This is hearing damage over 90db. If you don't own them ,or spent a lot of time in a properly setup room then your statement is not worth much.your opinion is just that .they are in the Class-A rating in TAS magazine so they must be doing something right . I have heard many  top speakers sound not to good  especially at shows.as far as Dealer comments, Dealer have No business giving opinions on gotims for they have A bias agenda to begin with. 

Seems like this thread has been hijacked by Audio Dealers who believe they sell the ultimate speakers.
The way to decide is simply go listen for yourself. Everything sounds great to someone out there. Listen, then buy.
Purchasing $15,000 Speakers is a big decision for most folks, do your due diligence by listening for what rocks your boat. 
Go to the warsaw show.

There will be show deals.

Hear everything there is, get the best deal.

Only three weeks away.

Look at who is going to be there, and make the rounds to the rooms you think will hold promise.

Make a choice, make them an offer. Show deals are usually the best deals you'll ever see, as some of them (the given equipment), will have to be shipped to lands far away.... so it is best to let them go at the given show. Be ready to pay immediately and take possession immediately.

I don’t think you’ll get a better, more perfectly timed opportunity in the next year.
The Personas are very good speakers which Audiotroy has been selling all over Audiogon. I've heard them on 3 occasions, including at Audiotroy's set up at the NY Audio show. Audiotroy later said it was the room there, but it wasn't the room as I heard the same issue at another dealer in the showroom. The Personas are very nice, very dynamic but a bit bright and hard IMHO. They use all beryllium tweeters which have a "sound" as all materials do. Listen to the ATCs. Listen to the Personas. I think you will find as I do that the ATCs sound more natural and, to me, more like real music.
Grgr4blu, your comments are based on hearing them at one show, which dealer did you hear them at and what were they using? Your negative bias against the Personas is more based on your issues with us.

The Personas now have three outstanding reviews, Tone Audio, TAS, and Soundstage, and so far not one of these noted reviewers said the speakers are too bright, they are howerver, extremely revealing so if this other dealer was not using the right stuff of course you would not be blown away. Our setup  at the New York audio show was not bright at all, we played loud and most people raved over the sound. 

As per ATC vs Personas we sell both and they both are great but totally different and by the way Vermeer lives in Europe so we are not going to be selling him anything!

Vermeer has heard the speakers and loves them, they will also work in a small room with the 3f.  

Audioman58 haven't heard those Martin Logans, all the others in the past sounded great in some ways, but had issues. No speaker is perfect. 

The large soundstage of the ML is great, I have yet to hear a set of any panels image the way a good set of dynamics speakers do, the Wilsons, Paradigms, and Rockports all create an image that can be very life like
most panels produce an image which is too large without the image specifitiy that that the best dynamic speakers do.
