Focal Solo6 Reviews

A great update on my favorite Solo 6 monitors.

I used Solo 6 Be monitors for a long time. I was very happy with them.

Not so long ago I moved to another country and when the question arose about buying monitors I did not even think twice and took the new Solo 6.

I was very surprised how Focal improved their product:

less resonance at low frequencies, new beryllium tweeter sounded less harsh, mid frequencies became much clearer too, finally they added mesh in tweeter (I had some experience with damaged tweeter in previous generation).

On the negative side:

I don't like auto-standby mode, very slow response, and sometimes, when something is playing at low volume, I even have to turn volume knob to turn monitors back on.

Focus mode - I don't really understand what it's for, it's not a good substitute for real s**t control, and in order to turn it on you need to buy a pedal as well...

All in all, I am very happy with this purchase.

If you don't like newfangled "DSP monitors" and you need real analog sound - I recommend these monitors for your consideration.
