My experience with the beryllium and also the inverted Focals I owned in the past always presented a too bright of sound as if my listening distance wasn't within their target range. That's the way i can put it to words, they were just too "hot" and almost couldn't stretch their legs. I also experimented a bunch with the inverted Focal woven products and those tweets were too mellow for my taste but off axis was good from what I can remember. Those mid 90's are hard to remember...

Those Infinity Emits were always nice, pleasant, and composed sounding. Almost a refined soft sound. The RAAL's by far have presented the finest clarity and resolution, imo. Almost as if the RAAL products are in a different level. Love them!
