Speakers with a slightly warm midrange

Hi there. I have a Boulder 866 amp which is very neutral sounding and doesn’t add its own character to the sound. I am looking for speakers that will give the system a musical natural  sound with a rich midrange . 
Listening area is about 14 x 17 foot plus there is a big open space on the left that may catch some bass drift. Can you please suggest speakers that may work. Considering the harbeth shl5, tannoy cheviot, Sonus faber nova 2 and electa amator 3. any others to consider?

thankyou

Try Revel f208/206.    You should at least take a listen

first of all you'll have to change your cabling that's the biggest problem, try OCC single crystal wire and that'll give you the most natural beautiful sound. single Crystal has been proven for 50 years now to be the best wire for audio.

Thanks all. I am using YG Carmel 1 speakers which probably aren’t the best match for the Boulder

I would add Dynaudio. I have a pair of Sonus Faber Sonetto III and also Dynaudio Evoke 50. For me, I find the Danes to be much more airy and lifelike. The SF's almost sound a bit more muddled when compared to the Dynaudio's. Believe me I am not knocking the SF's it's just to my ears and preferences the Dynaudio's are that good. Good luck and remember to enjoy the ride :)
