2 questions concerning Gallo Stradas

Sorry if these questions have been debated to death...I didn't find a lot on my questions when I searched. So, how many of you Gallo Strada owners, or former owners, consider the Stradas to be bright and/or lean and what is the rest of your system? Second question is, if the Stradas are on the lean/ bright side and they are the same drivers as the 3.5, which is not described as either lean or bright, why would they sound any different than the 3.5s? Shouldn't they sound the same around 40 hz and up seeing as how neither speaker has crossovers?
