Shape 65

We have different ears, brains and we can feel the exact same emotions in a very different ways. This goes for music and sounds. Exemple: I love the synth and percussion hyper compressed attack at the start of Kim Wilde's Cambodia. I heard them on my oncle's Quad ESL-57 first and he hated it and muc

The focal shape 65’s are great, hope you enjoy them I’ve had my pair since 2018 - still sound incredible!!

almost no one here will know how much better OP's speakers are than theirs lol -yours truly, a focal shape 65 owner.

I got that moment when I upgraded from Adam t8v paired with two T10's subs to Focal Shape 65 with Sub One...I was just listening the music for the entire week and I was mesmerized.

Shape 65 gang! 🙌 The Alpha 65s don't have the fancy flax cone but they punch way above their weight for the price. Focal knows what they're doing.

i was in the same boat last year and went with the KH 120s - they're insanely detailed for the size. since you've got room in the budget i'd also check out the Focal Shape 65 or the HEDD Type 07. both give you a different flavor to compare against. having two pairs to reference helped me dial in mix

It's going to be one of those "it depends" sort of things, imo. I personally enjoy listening to music on the same system I do my engineering work with, where I have a pair of Focal Shape 65 monitors. I don't like super "hyped" systems, and while the Shapes aren't perfectly flat, they're still pretty

Focal Shape 65 and 2x Sub One,one of the best upgrade I had,I do like having subs separately.

Focal Shape Twin or Focal Shape 65 and a SubOne (but out of the budget) cannot go wrong with both options. Level of details and a spectacular sound stage,cannot find negative points about them. Enjoy in new speakers.

listening through focal shape 65's, the mixing is most DEFINITELY bad. not disaster bad like most are saying but definitely bad for a 5 year wait
