It's a design principle of Focals to make the bass difficult, and make them seem more discerning of amplifier power. I wouldn't call them lean so much as challenging.
Focal 1038Be with Bryston?
Hello. I will likely purchase floor standers and a power amp sight unseen in the near future. I am well aware that this is far less than ideal. I like the idea of 1038Be because I am familiar with the beryllium and the W cone drivers from the Focal pro audio monitors line. Also I am comfortable with Bryston due to my work in pro audio. Which Bryston I'm not sure, maybe 3B3.
Anyway the system would be a Lavry DA10 which I already have, directly into the Bryston and Focals. I would like sufficient well defined bass, and good accuracy. I don't need much color. I'm used to listening to studio monitors.

Folk, jazz, world. Mostly acoustic instruments. No electronica.
If there is some reason that this is a crazy bad match up, I would like to hear about it. Thanks in advance.
