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.

On this interview with Jake Gosling by Sound on Sound about producing Ed Sheeran's "+", they asked him about his setup:
"So I recorded Ed's album through John Lennon's speakers, which is funny. I love mixing on them. I saw another pair on eBay for £100, which was insane. I've got NS10s as well, which I love, so I monitor between those two. And I've just got some Focal Twin 6s, which I've always loved but could never afford.”
Ilkay Sencan uses the Focal Twin6 Be studio monitors, as noted by Image Line Software on the FL Studio artist page.
