I absolutely would NOT call it painfully bright, at all. At least not to me. And I switched over to the SinglePower Extreme, and this seems to have largely ameliorated the issue, although there is still a tiny bit of excess energy in this range still.
Oh the mids are wonderful, though. So open, clear, and transparent! Just a little forward, but very beautiful still.
If I had to choose one word to describe the 780's sound, I would choose "exciting".
