Warrenh, a true pearl of wisdom! Nothing irritates me more than the shrill shrewish screeching of a "too bright" system. Well, maybe I'm overstating, since most Agoners have systems which wouldn't send me running out of the room, even if leaning toward the bright end. I, like Warrenh, would be more at ease with a top end that is relaxed vs. one that is aggressive. But, as Paul Simon said,

"One man's ceiling
Is another man's floor."
