You’re probably on the right track then ...
The average user in here tends to be into vocals-dominant stuff, e.g. Chinese songs, and the odd jazz vocal listener. If I can set up a blind test without letting people know what speakers they are listening to, people into vocals-dominant stuff will tend to favour warmer speakers, which is why I usually recommend to this group to look at such speakers. However, when it comes to instruments, warmer speakers tend to come off as missing details ... or rather, instruments tend to sound somewhat ”muddy” on warmer speakers. It’s not that the speakers are no good, it’s just that is part of the speakers’ characteristics.
If you’re more into instrument-dominant stuff or more ”balanced” music, you’d tend to favour speakers with no - or rather, minimal - colouration. Understandably, you won’t get the fuller-sounding vocals of warmer speakers, but some people - myself included - prefer that, because the music as a whole sounds more natural.
Someone once told me early on when I started playing ICE ... a $1,000 guitar should sound like a $1,000 guitar, a $100 guitar should sound like a $100 guitar ... you don’t want a $1,000 guitar to sound like a $100 guitar, or a $100 guitar to sound like a $1,000 guitar
It’s a little simplistic to describe it this way, almost like the guy talking down to a n00b (I don’t know ... maybe you even feel that way from what I’d been saying to you 
). But it’s kinda true when you think about it.You’d tend to find speakers that people classify as ”bright” have similar qualities as well, which is probably why you have a good opinion of Focals ... but with ”bright” speakers you may experience listening fatigue on prolonged listening, i.e. if you go on long drives. If you only spend like 15-20 minutes or so per drive it may never be an issue for you though, but if e.g. you stay east side and work at Tuas or something (
) you might experience that.I’d still suggest you give a set of 7-series a listen, and a Z-series setup if you can
Then compare that with the opinion you have of the 5-series before you spend money. I don’t encourage people to start with lower or entry level and think maybe upgrade down the road ... it’s next to impossible to offload stuff these days. So yeah ... do it once, do it right.
