Technics vs. Focal

Anybody who claims any modern Focal has a hot top end or anything but top to bottom smoothness simply hasn't really heard what they claim to have listened to. You can't find a professional review of a modern Focal product that indicates brightness. In fact, Herb Reichert goes out of his way in the 936 review to point out the nonsensical forum comments about Focal brightness and contrasts that with his experience of the 800 and 900 series.

That is a silly, undefensible, and arbitrary statement, proclamation and accusation the greatest and most influential component in any music reproduction system is the room itself and for you to deny, reject, or ignore this simple, absolute, established fact reflects  ignorance on your part virtually any speaker can sound bright depending not only on the exact, specific room and its acoustic characteristics but also the associated components that comprise the specific music reproduction system used to conduct the evaluation and arrive at a result, conclusion, and determination.

Foggythink,

Then it’s not really the speaker that’s bright, now is it? If any speaker would sound bright in a given room, then it’s the room that’s contributing the brightness.

Definitely some foggy thinking there. 

This discussion is fogging ridiculous.

The longest run on sentence I've seen in the history of this forum.  I laughed out loud.

Or should I say -- "This particular, specific, one of a kind post is perhaps, possibly, per chance the most lengthy, long winded, time consuming piece, segment, or sample of writing I have ever read on the internet, the web, a forum, or series of tubes I laughed out loud."
