Hi, any focal shape users? How do you like those?
I like the passive radiator design for supposedly tighter bass. But I briefly listened to them in a shop and the high end seemed a bit harsch to me, possibly the metal tweeters.
I tried many studio monitors with ported designs (adam ax7, neuman kh 120) but they seem to have woofy low end, in particular front ported ones.
Currently i have yamaha hs7 for many years but this one also tends to be harsch with guitars, so i never really liked them. The neumanns were nice and smooth but i didnt think the bass is as tight as they are credited for so i returned them. I think 5 inch drivers are limited in this regard so 6.5 is probably the best size for small home studio.
So, the focal 65 matches my wish list in terms of specs, but Im asking focal users to share their experience in practise.
Thank you!
