Sopra are amazing. A pair of higher-end floor standers from Focal would be my endgame. As a mix engineer I listen to “flat” speakers all the time, and of all the hi-fi brands I’ve had the pleasure of demoing, Focal always sounds the most “correct” to me for casual listening. Balance, timbre, speed,

Just got to test these kalis out this morning. Literally speechless at the quality. I wish they looked as cool as the Focal Trio6 but aesthetics aside. (Not even a huge fan of the shape65 style/look neither tbh...) Absolutely keeping these and will drop a update post at some point is my tldr!

I’m a focal boi, so i would choose focals (trio6 in roughly that price range). Kali IN-8 punch above their weight, would suggest those too But really, try to at least buy them with return - anything you buy. Because it’s really down to personal preference at this price point

I thought they were OK. Demoed them with some other speakers including Kii Three, Focal Trio6 Be, ATC, and Genelec 8351B. Now that I have a dedicated room, I do feel that spending a lot on nearfield or all in one speakers isn’t worth it.

The Mackie HR624 Mk2s were probably solid monitors to start with, but they’re definitely on the lower end of what is considered a truly “pro” range today. Still, if you’ve been able to make good-sounding work on them for 15 years, that says a lot about your ears and experience. You’ve clearly learne

For less than €7K you can get a perfectly balanced chain of components like Eversolo dmp-a6/8 -> Denafrips Pontus 15th -> Focal Shape Twins or, even better Focal Trio6.

Har inte testat Focalerna så kan inte uttala mig, men de är antagligen mycket bra med tanke på priset (ca 9000kr) och att Focal inte har lika högt märkespåslag som Apple har. Så det är kanske dit man måste gå för att få ngt som är bättre än APM? Är inte så imponerad av Focals lurar, har däremot dera

There’s a lot of studio monitors that are great as standard speakers. Focal Twin6, Trio6 and SM9. Genelec as seen here. The only real difference is they have some additional features, like the Trio6 being built for both vertical and horizontal orientation. Any other distinction is purely artificial.
