looking for speaker upgrade

Hi, I'm looking into speaker upgrades any suggestions? I currently have Harman Kardon L7 but the mid is pretty crappy, the vocal is not clear sounds very muddy. I'm currently looking into Eton and Bavsound speakers anyone knows how these speaker sounds? Not looking for crazy bass just want to improve vocal clarity.

I just got Focal Inside. Huge improvement. Even improved my B&O.

Focal Inside Premium 7.2. I didn't do the center speaker, but also added Dynamat (or the dampener that Focal recommends). My friend who has almost an identical 2018 X5, but with HK, got the entire upgrade.

Of course, you can do better, but getting a higher-end Focal, but will also require an amp upgrade (unless you have the B&O one).

The build quality of the Focals is better than the B&O's pulled from my car.

From what I know, Focal's will likely be better than Bavsound or bimmertech, but cost around 2x as much. Focals get you audiophile quality gear for around $3k. Not cheap, but the best plug and play set you can get.
