My experience (12 years or so) with Primare PRE30 does not support impression of any brightness.. highs are, to my ears plus context of the other gear in the system, even understated a bit yet silky smooth and detailed. This pre was one of the BB purchases for the money at a time (about 1000 euros, if memory serves well :), came in pair with also very very good A32 power. Both still here, great sound and reliability (not single issue so far) for modest money.
Electrocompaniet sound is widely perceived as darker than average, this is a very long-term stereotype. Never had any piece on home audition to give EC any valuable mark, but what I have heard elsewhere from EC, it should be pretty accurate assessment.
