They Just Do It.

The Focal Twins are a favorite of studios and artists for a reason, they're brutally honest but not harsh. They reveal transients of material with easy, and show under or overcompression of sounds without exaggerating the effects of the processing. Likewise, when matched with the Sub 6, they're wickedly balanced across the spectrum. It's hard for me to imagine I'll find another pair of monitors I can trust as much while still having fun listening to them. Best buy for the money in this price range, guaranteed.

"My entire Digital I/ O is made out of RME hardware, with my main speakers being the Twin Be’s by Focal. These speakers have really changed the way I mix. I have also all kinds of low-quality computer speakers to check mixes on. It’s not really an enjoyable experience, but listing on them will resolve issues pretty quickly."
