best speakers for vocals?

Seven years and he is still looking! Hey some guys take their time!

Hey great to see this topic pop back up! Yogiboy, I am indeed back in the market for speakers. Admittingly I am a Sonus Faber fanboy, having lived with the Cremona Auditors for a while. I still very much love these speakers but I will be moving these to my bedroom so I want to upgrade for my main system. Right now I am leaning towards Sonus Faber Memento. I hear SF is moving away from their traditional house sound and towards a more detailed presentation. I need to verify this with a listening session of the Evolution. I have also auditioned the Raidho C1 which is a fine, clear speaker but I feel like it was missing that midrange magic. The search continues.

Tboooe,Did you ever give Harbeth or Spendor a listen? If you like vocals these are the ones!

Sorry, I didn't read all answers, so my apologize if I repeat some.

May be the speaker is not the only thing to consider. Interest of some speakers comes from the amplifier that you can use, as SET ones.
If you want something "plug and play" and compact, you can consider a full audio note system.
If you have more space dedicated to the hifi usage and if you are able to put the hands in the machine, you can have a look on old Klipschorn or Altec speakers.

I still have in mind a wonderful session, 50s jazz, all mono, with SET amps and voice of theater. It was just great.

But the amp is a big part of the sound!

Enjoy
