Kharma v Focal v Avalon

Hi all, would love to hear your thoughts on the following similarly priced (at least in Europe) though quite different 2 way speakers.

The Kharma 3.2, Focal Diablo and Avalon Ascendant. My system runs Emm Labs cdp & Muse amp in a 14x19x8ft room. Speakers would be placed toward the front wall listening position along the back wall.

Look forward to hearing comments.

I have only heard the Focal Diablo out of the speakers on the list, but I loved the way it sounded when hooked to a Krell amplifier, but wasn't as blown away with an Asthetix amplifier. In general I prefer the Diablo in combination with a JL Audio subwoofer to the Grande EM connected to the same system. The Diablo is probably my favorite speaker out of the ones that I have heard, but my list of high end speakers is very limited.

I owned the Kharma 3.2 for a few years. It might sound too thin in your room of 14' x 19'.

I would not buy the 3.2s w/o hearing them. They are not a set-it-and-forget-it speaker.
