Focal Twin6 Be Studio Monitor Review

[ErinH]

Okay, I just wrapped up my review of the Focal Twin6 Be monitors last night. I tried to copy/paste it here but I gave up after the 20th format fix. Anyway, I posted my written review on my website here:

My YouTube review is here as well:

The midrange switch is a very strange design. If it were me, I would have scooted the woofers closer together and squeezed the tweeter right above them like the Atlantic Technology 4400C. That would have given them a two-way horizontal speaker without the usual MTM drawbacks. Their present configuration makes for a weird dispersion pattern as well as a much more complicated design. Anyway, seems like a nice speaker despite its overly complex design.

@PENG ,
I know you measured your Focal Electras, in room at least. Also pretty sure that you EQ'ed them. Did you have anything like the situation these measurements show in the 2kHz ballpark?
Although Aaron says these are very good speakers and excellent speakers with a little EQ, I am surprised that Focal did not do a better job with the crossover. Also, what was the driver compliment on your Electras. I was thinking it was similar but don't remember if you had a smaller mid-range added.
Thanks!

I have to dig it out, if no I can plot one, time permitting. There are going to be some dips for sure, just how severe and at what range.

Found one, measured in 2015 but it was from about 2 ft at ear height:
Look somewhat similar to S&V's, mine's at 1/12 smoothing, S&V's likely 1/6 and was anechoic so it should look better for sure.
