Speakers suggestion help

Hi, I have come across 3 different pair of speakers within the same price.. It's hard for me to pick one... please suggest..
- Focal Electra 1038 BE - B&W 805 D3 - Focal JM Lab Diva Utopia.

I plan to add a sub into the system so bass is not a factor, I need a high and clear vocal mid-range...
Amp - Prima Luna EVO 400

Thank you.

should be good combos... those are bright leaning speakers, but balanced by nice beefy tube amp...  i would think focals have slightly more nuance than b&w

For clear vocal midrange you really should listen to Maggies or Martin Logans or other electrostatics before settling on Focals.

Millercarbon - some people have said he gets paid for each reference to tekton  speakers. He thought they were the cats meow before he even heard them. Stick with your 3 if you want better speakers.
I would add revel to your list, not including the salon or studio, they need more power.

The B&Ws have the better midrange and treble so if you don't care about bass they're the clear choice, pardon the pun.
