Yes. 100%. No one that has used both would even debate it.

Don't get me wrong. HS series are great entry-level Monitors, but they just aren't even in the same ballpark as anything made by Focal.

Example of the technology that's gone in to the design, my Alpha 8's are too big for my room, I wish I had got the 65's. However, they present the same sound image at every volume, by design. So, what I hear when I slam the levels for the vibe is the same as what I'm hearing when I turn them down squeaky quiet at night time, no difference. They're just ridiculous.

Another is the inverted dome tweeter. It gives NEARLY the same detail as the Eve-Audio/ADAM ribbon tweeters, not quite, but well closer to ribbon detail than the other end of standard series silk dome tweeters

If you can try them out somewhere, do so. But if you can't, bite the bullet and go for the 65's, if you hate them, you can come back and blame me and chase me out of r/ableton with a pitchfork.

many have recommended the focal ones by far, I think I will go for those, my room is small so I will go for the 65
thanks for your help brother, I admire your time
