Technics vs. Focal

This is pretty much a no-brainer to me. I've listened to the 906's and I'm listening to 936's right now. Want to guess which I'd go for? You'll be hard pressed to find speakers that image better than those 906's. 

Those Technics really look like crap from a 1980's mini system.   Focal /JM has been building great speakers for decades.   Easy choice in my opinion

The Technics are rather remarkable little monitors, we heard a demo of them vs the Kef LS 50 when the LS 50 were $1,500.00 and we clearly prefered the Technics, which are new $1,700.00.

The What Hifi Review was an anomolly most reviewers who heard the Technics were wowed by them. 

You really need to bring both of these speakes home and give them a good demo.

The Technics being a dual concerntric images extremely well and is a fat and articulate little speaker. 

The Focals tend to be a bit hot at the top end.

Measurements show the focal is not hot at all. Its actually more of a laid back speaker

I have never heard a Focal speaker that didn’t have what I consider to have a hot top end.
