Focal Professional has two factories in France with over 200 employees. One factory makes the beautiful cabinets and the other manufactures over 200,000 drivers a year. It is refreshing to see a company that manufactures in their country and do not send all their product to Southeast Asia for manufacturing. |

I was not aware of the home audio speakers as much. Now I am interested in the Profile 918 or Electra 1027. Here are the Twins in my studio. |

Before you say things like "most of the heavy-lifting is done in China" check your sources or come visit the factory. |

Focal Twin 6's are the most honest monitor ever, force you to work harder than any other monitor to get the magic happening, and reward you with incredible results that go beyond what you expect, pulling new heights out of your own mixing. |

If you don't understand working hard to get a great mix then don't buy Focal monitors. If you are confused by what you hear when you listen to Focals in a good room, chalk it up to your own inexperience. |

Tom, calm down with the english lessons. 'ever' is my sentence, my experience. I believe they are amazing and have not found another monitor so honest, revealing, and dependable that gives me consistent incredible results. I don't think I've tried every monitor ever made, but I've used probably 90% of the big hitters and alsays found myself puzzled and the results even more puzzling. When I engineer in another room I make sure to take a CD of reference tunes, show up early and try to acclimate myself. I've had nothing but bad experiences with Adams, Quested, and especially Genelec to name just a few. Especially Genelec. The Focal Twins for me are perfect. I trust absolutely what they tell me,the translation is always euphoric. For me, they are easily the best monitor in the entire world, EVER!. |
