A bit more not that I've got more time...
I bought my 936's sight unseen based on the strength of hearing the 948, 926, and 726.
If you're a whore for stellar imaging depth and detail, good luck beating the 900 series. Few speakers touch them in that regard, especially at that price. For the price of my 936's I could have landed some 1008Be's. They would have suited some of my tastes, but I wanted the bottom end grunt the 936's provided. I have no regrets. Compared to the 726's? Yeah, they're that much better. The F cone is a major improvement over polyglass. Every aspect of the sounds is better. Better definition. Better imaging. Better tone. More neutral and revealing. Plus they are built vastly better. And no, they're not bright. Not even close, unless you decide to pair them with an amp that is bright to begin with. The 936's aren't bright with my F5 unless I run low bias through the output stage.
