Great to see you shout out Colt. I've been following his channel since he had under 2000 subs, and his knowledge and vibe have been inspiring to watch. His videos are quality information for anyone working in the pro-sound industry. Great monitor choice. Enjoy!

I just got a pair of the Focal Trio 6's about a month ago. Absolutely love them! I also have Genelec 1030A's and PMC IB1's...both are fantastic. But there is something about the Focal's that takes the listening experience to another level. Along with my Grace m905, it's just a killer experience. I am using a sub from a different manufacture but the Focal sub is on my hit list. You're gonna love them!

Great feedback, love the honesty!
Very convincing for sure.

Where’s the part 2 ???

[arianamastersofficial]

Well done video! Loved watching it. Can't wait for Part II :)

[PsychadelicGod]

Can you go into some more detail about why you ruled out the Adam S-Line??

[riyadwhittle]

Thanks for the review! I have the Trio 6B’s, great choice! .Although the 6B’s are slightly smaller then the 11’s, the low frequency is profound and I haven’t needed a Sub . I have not had any issue with Eq and gain staging Kick and Bass. They sound the same as the 11’s with slightly less bass. I wish you the best with your investment.

Broo.... I'm literally Having the Same Speaker Dilemma. And I'm thinking of reaching for the Trio 6's !

[FLHofficial]

Question: Is it a good idea to change our speakers too often?
I mean by changing the monitoring system our brain has to learn again all these little things in the accoustic of the room, even the best studio room.
I think I can maybe do better things with not so bad spakers and a room I know since 5 years than with a new pair of "better" speakers I don't know yet.
I just ask the question.

[cijoraju]

Try the HEDD type-20 too, before you make trio6 decision. I don't think you need a sub with it.

[sinewavesstudio]

Great video, what are you doing with your previous monitors?

[mcoffey]

I've had my Focal Trio 6's for a couple years now after getting off the Neuman's. I love um, but bass is a lot lighter than you'd expect for an enclosure that big. It's the midrange that's addictive. Just like any monitors. Once you get used to them and learn them, you can put out some incredible mixes.

[tatucastaner]

You should also try the Neumanns I reckon 🤔

[jorykevinberger]

Congrats! :) I’m thinking... Knowing your room, and having tested in pro studios with my own Adam A7 vs Trio6 (and more), you’re going to love the Trio6 as well!Consider at the Trio6 range you might not need to introduce a sub unless you absolutely must. Are you sure this is the best route to take for the room you’re in now? You did mention moving spaces. I know folks get used to their sub sometimes to their unrealized detriment, but the crossover is only going to make whatever room correction software you’re using likely work that much harder because the Trio6 cover so much of the sub range really well already. Could be more trouble than not. And subs are SO expensive. I hope you might try the Trio6 without a sub first and mic measure the room with REQ Wizard to know for sure. And of course placement has so much to do with it as you know to avoid nulls and SBIR.
The Trio6 have such good clean and especially tight and focused low end in the sub range, which is going to be very different than the A7 satellite / sub combo.
Anyhow, just a thought. You do you of course! :) PS. Have you come across Jesco from Acoustics Insider? He’s got some great content with regard to this stuff, too. I still remember you building your room, feels like yesterday. I’m excited by your excitement! It’s an incredible sound.
I talk too much. Cheers!

i got three options - a) Genelec 8351b b) Neumann Kh310 With Sub 750 c) Adam S3H
Used Every pair for a month in my studio and finally got Neumann Configuration for my studio 😀

[JohnWuMastermind]

Focal Solo 6be.. Excellent for small spaces

[seanvinci]

Hey! Love the channel! I recently purchased these same speaker stands and I was wondering if you put sand in yours. If so, did it make a big difference? Thanks!

[primroseproductionsmusic]

Where is part two? Can’t wait to see what you think of them!

[ulfdanielsen]

Been planning on trying out an experiment in which I´d build a small size full freq. range system built into either side of the wall behind the studio desk - complete with crossovers and dedicated amps pr. monitor sets with maybe downsized subs - 8"ers instead of 15-18"ers, - a sort of home studio equivalent of the big full freq. range monitor systems found in large commercial facilities, - all logic tells me it´s doable.
Outside of that my absolute favorite monitor system for near field monitoring would be the Andy Munro The Egg combined monitors/amp system, - specifically developed for that exact purpose and very unforgiving, - they have been tailored to give you the sonic thruth - without any form of flattery, - which means they can also from time to time be a humbling experience when listening back to your recordings and mixes, - along the lines of:"... This doesn´t sound all that good... unbalanced... and unevenly no better than that?"
And that´s just listening back to the unproccesed recordings and initial mixes.
If you can get over - and past yourself, - they will quickly become your new best friends.
Awesome system.

[randalfields]

Andrew, how do you like the Adam 10" Sub? I want a unit to match my Adam A7v's. Any pro's and con's . Please let me know. Thank you.
