These are definitely keepers.
Kudos to Mike on the Bryston rebuild!! I had some buzzing. Did some troubleshooting and replaced a $20 pair of monster interconnects with a $500 pair of Discovery Plus 4's and whala... no buzz.
I've been running the amp at just below clipping for about an hour now and it just sounds amazing.
So, I've found they need:
A: meticulous speaker placement
B: quality amplification
C: Good cables
These Focals meet or exceed my expectations.
I don't have the space to a/b them with my Mac speakers, but I've heard enough to reverse all of the negatives I stated before.
