Edition XS vs Anada, Focal Elex, or other similarly priced competitors?

Looking for my endgame. I read XS is great and might be what I’m looking for. I have he400se’s and i like them. I have shuoer s12’s which i like as well. I want to skip small upgrades and go straight for gold.

have tried them all (1 hour worth of listening experience with each) and from what I can tell (by my own hearing and feeling) the focus is more audiophile, yet the edition xs is more technical. (ain't even talk about the ananda's cause the edition xs is better for cheaper) hell the edition xs is closer to the stealth Arya in comparison (and not even that different). Frequency Response Consistency is much better on the edition xs compared to the focal. but both of them have a different sound signature. the edition xs has a slight v-shape sound (i would call it more of an all-rounder cause the mids are awesome) yet the focus is more mid-focused. in terms of who has the better mids? focal Elex. who has the better lowes and highes? edition xs. but what you should buy? I don't know. but I personally would go with the edition xs because of the mids being not off by a lot (if I had to rate the mids I would give 9.2/10 to the Elex and 8.7/10 to the edition xs).
