So, I've had a good amount of time comparing the Focal Twin6 ST6 to the A7X. The first difference I noticed on the Focal was the clarity of the bass, guitars, drums and voices. The separation of instruments/voices sounded very detailed and clean on the Focal whereas the A7X sound was more blended together. The next difference was the bass. The one hesitation I had in buying the Focal was the 6.5" woofer was actually slightly smaller than the woofer in the A7X. Technically, the Focal has (2) 6.5" speakers, one is a mid and bass speaker and the other is strictly a bass speaker. The bass on the Focal is significantly better than the A7X. Its much more pronounced than the A7X, yet its very tight sounding...no boominess whatsoever. Don't get me wrong. I think the A7X is a phenomenal speaker and definitely the best speaker I've heard in that price range. The Focal should sound better...its more than twice the price of the A7X. But, I already have the best amp modeler on the planet. I just felt the need for a studio monitor upgrade and I'm very, very impressed with the Focal. The second speaker is supposed to arrive today, so I'm excited to hear the Focal's in stereo. The only downside is now I need a bigger desk because the Focals are so much larger.
