The Focals are a hair tame in the upper midrange. As a guy who generally mixes a hair light in that region anyway (I'm afraid of making a mix hurt) I find that this is actually a blessing in disguise.

引用:

The Focal Sub6 is a tremendous subwoofer. It can get very loud and I don't think I've ever heard it do the “one note bass” thing. It will easily expose any excessive buildups in ultra-low frequencies. Guys who've done local movies hate it when they watch them in my control room because the Focal Sub6 illustrates everything they missed

引用:

The downside to this is sibilance can sneak through on you. You have to crank up you ear sensitivity in this regard several notches. In fact, I do feel this is the only disappointing part of the Focals. ... When I'm just about to render a mix, switching to my the above mentioned studio monitor headphones immediately exposes any sibilance issues

引用:

While the mixes done exclusively on the Solo 6BE monitors turned out great, I was guessing a bit in the low end. Adding the Focal Sub6 ended up being just the ticket. It adds that extra meat down below that I've found I want to hear and bands want to hear.

From the review, the BE unit is not bright at all and a bit tame, surprise?! Anyway I didn't feel bright last time.

I will suggest Hugoo to add a sub from Focal to complete the setup.

maybe he adjusted as is. in the back side, there are adjustable knobs.

But every active monitor speaker has high freq attenuation, he shouldn't have missed that.

I mean reviewer maybe turn to lower, but hugoo turns up.

跟我的感觉一样，不过注意他说的不是高频，是中频，中频的上部 upper MIDRANGE，那个部位频响有个坑，sibilance的问题也正好证明了那里确实有个坑

老广说高频太亮，其实根本原因可能是upper midrange频响有坑，反过来让你感觉高频有点亮。
Sub又是上千块的投资，今年完全没戏，过些时间再考虑那个问题了。

箱子背后那些东西我都没碰，全是default设置，我是相信没必要动的东西就别去动他，而且动了信号又要经过一次蹂躏，能直通还是全直通的吧，自己瞎折腾经常是吃力不讨好的

再吓侃一句，
注意到了吗？这个reviewer把Mackie骂的狗血喷头，Mackie可是名牌大厂之一呀
我看HIFI器材review的时候很少看到reviewer会这么开口骂娘的，基本都是好话，什么good for the price, can compete with product 3 times of its price.. etc.. etc.. 有意思吧

Man, you know the best about Solo 6.

In my brother's house, Mackie HR824 is a joyful to listen to, but nothing impress me much.

和JBL6325还有sgyyz的PMC一比，那个坑是比较明显的。

双分频的书架很难做的完美，JBL6325虽然频响平的让人咋舌，可只能用在近场，摆位距离超过2米的话，音场就出现空洞了。
以后的目标还是3分频的大箱子！
