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

I would never credit Revel speakers as having a "warm" anything....they strive for neutrality, in a good way.  Sonus Faber is a good brand to consider, but your room opens into a larger area so the models you mention may not have enough cone area to pressurize all that volume.  I would add the Focal Kanta 2 or better, Kanta 3 to your list.  They are warmish and have great clarity and plenty of sock.

Yes i have the digital 866. 
the speakers would be along the long wall and the listening area is at the end of a long room if that helps. So the bass drift would be on the one side but I don’t think too much. 
has anyone tried the Dali epicon or dynaudio heritage special. Not sure if they have a warming midrange

Try to find the original Olympica series used or NOS. The previous series are more towards Franco Serblin sound having warmer midrange, intimacy, they are more engaging and musical. The NOVA series have the "modern " sound with tilted high frequency, I won't describe them at all as warm.
