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! :)

The Personas need EQing. The Persona that's neutral is the center channel. The rest of them are down 4-5 db in the vocal range and there's a 5db treble peak at 1k, and a 7-8db peak at 10K. Needs a little work with room correction or EQ to fix.

EX, honest question.  Why would you buy. speaker that needs so much EQ to sound decent?  Why not just get a speaker that needs no EQ?  NO need to mess with the signal, which typically ruins the pure sound.  

That goes for any speaker that has the treble peaks (so many of them do because in teh store they will stand out, but when you get them home you will be fatigued after an hour and not even realize it).  JMHO
