Help in upgrading monitors.

I'm upgrading from my JM Focal 906 monitors, and I'd appreciate any input from a-gonners. I love the Focal sound, and I'm currently considering Focal Micro Utopias, Revel Ultima Gem or Gem 2, Zingali Overture 2- Omniray, and I'd love to hear other strong speakers in the 3-6K range used.

I run a BAT integrated amp and listen to all kinds of music, but really zone in on acoustic jazz, folk, and chamber music.

Any help, input, questions are very much appreciated.

I have the Mini Utopias, Spendor Sp-1 and S 100s. I would look for a pair of the Minis, mine have the titanium rather than the beryllium tweeter but am not sure that I don't prefer it.

Dali Helicon 300 MKII - Hybrid Tweeter-Ribbon Combo
Harbeth Super HL5 - Nature midrange with a great sound and easy to drive

I get plenty of bass out of my Helicon 300 and the ribbon-combo is just sweet when playing a lot of percussion. I choose Dali over the Mini Utopias by a slight edge. The Harbeth Super HL5 I audition after purchasing my Dalis which makes your choose even more difficult.

Have you considered Focal Twin 6 actives - they are probably Focal's best selling speaker....at least in the pro world.
