Focal speakers are not bright or forward. Anyone who says that is clinging onto old focal sound. Aria and Kanta are the LEAST bright or forward speakers they have ever made, and are considerably more laid back than a lot of popular speakers mentioned on audiogon.
I feel bad for Focal — likely the most misrepresented brand online due to people who just repeat things they heard years and years ago with little to no actual experience.
If someone says Sopras are bright — they heard a bad setup. Kanta even more so — in fact, I can’t imagine how hard it would be to make the Kantas sound bright. Let’s make sure we are contributing accurate information to the mess of misinformation in high end audio forums.
