I chose these speakers from Focal Solo6b buy! I brought a CD jazz piano and bass, and bass seemed surprised "Tiny" and lousy on these Focal compared to other high-end speakers (K & H 300, the PMC). Spatialization was just as good with the PMC as Focal. I left disappointed and income stream after another, with other CD and I decided on the PMC, despite the higher price than the Focals (but less expensive than Twin).
I use it for mixing recordings of acoustic instruments (bass, nylon guitar, percussion, vocals) and listening to my CD collection stored on my computer. These speakers are directly connected to my sound card M-Audio Fast Track Pro. No residual noise when nothing is played.
SOUNDS
The whole spectrum is present and accurate, except the extreme severe course (which I realize using my headphones Ultrasone Pro 900), the spatial support is fantastic and easily move around the room, even if the best position is well on top of the equilateral triangle speaker and listener. Besides, if one moves, it retains the impression that the instruments are there in the room. This impression remains, details of spatialization in less of course, when I travel in the next room or my speakers are installed, which really surprised me.
These speakers are truly outstanding on acoustic instruments and voice. I have also used with pleasure to listen to the latest edition remastered discs by the Beatles. Also the remarkable precision. I really discovered what quality means of enclosure.
OVERALL OPINION
It's been a week since I use them, and as said above I tried the Focal Solo / Twin, K & H 300, and various other lower-end speakers. My choice was made without hesitation on listening to acoustic instruments and classical music.
I like the small footprint of these speakers compared to the record, remaining silent, ease of use (switch, light, and volume control at the top and not behind, so easily accessible).
Yes they are quite expensive, but I really have no regrets after listening intensely for several days on various music styles. They are worth their price.
Yes I do it again this choice without hesitation.
