Of these ...Hi Thanasis and thanks for the comment!<br /><br />Of these two the Alpha 50 was my favourite to listen to. But, if you are choosing between them for mixing purposes I would go with the Alpha 65. They will give you a little extra depth (although not a whole lot: 40 Hz against 45 Hz), but more crucially: they will give you more clarity and detail in the mid-range. I prefer listening to the Alpha 50 and was astonished to hear how well they performed for their size. I find the Alpha 65 a little more fatiguing, but the other side of the trade-off is the better clarity.<br /><br />If you feel you want to do adjustments to them I suggest:<br />1. Play a little bit with the eq. after burning in the speakers. I found the best eq. adjustments to be small adjustments.<br />2. If you work on them for a while and want to do further adjustments, you could have a look at a room correction system, like the one IK Multimedia produces:<br />http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/arc/<br />I haven't used it, but Sound On Sound has done a review. But I wouldn't bother doing room-correction from the start. See how the monitors work for you before considering it.<br /><br />I know I rated the Alpha 65 the lowest of the three, but they are still very capable and clear monitors. If you are looking for a pair of main monitors to use for a variety of modern band-music, I would not hesitate to say that the Alpha 65 are the most useful monitor for the purpose. Even if I liked listening to the 50s a little better, I would prefer to work with the level of detail in the 65s for the type of music you mentioned.<br /><br />Hope that helps! :-)Haraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307793708857764690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344406103903539849.post-45225006001578787122016-03-29T15:23:50.038-07:002016-03-29T15:23:50.038-07:00Thank you for the great review..!! i'm on the ...Thank you for the great review..!! i'm on the market right now for new monitors and i'm concidering the focal alpha's too....although there are very few reviews about them!!! i want your opinion as an expert to choose between alpha 50 and alpha 65.. There will be my main monitors for mixing rock,hard rock,funk music and i want the most clearer monitor of the two without loosing the low end!! i will be working several hours on them!!

However, I would expect BM6 generation 3 to sound somewhat similar to it’s smaller cousin BM5 gen. 3 (although I haven’t tried it yet). We see a similar pattern with the bass-extension going further down in generation 3 for both BM5 and BM6; and if the electronics share similar developments at generation 3 models I would guess the BM6 Mkiii to be a louder, larger, deeper and more mid-range-detailed sounding version of the BM5. I have often felt that the BM5 doesn’t give me the low extension that I need. I believe the BM6 Mkiii will address this by simply delivering lower frequencies. I was happy with the low-end extension in the Bm6 Mki, so I probably will be in the Mkiii. But: I don’t know whether this means that the impression of relative bass-levels and bass-detail will follow a similar improvement. (To compare, the BM5 Mkii feels more ‘accurate’ than the Mkiii, but has less extension.) I did a quick read-up on Dynaudio’s page, and that’s the best guess-work I can do for now I’m afraid. You’ll find my comparison of the gen 2 and 3 for the BM5 here:<br />http://h-happening.blogspot.no/2014/08/dynaudio-bm5a-mk-ii-vs-iii-and-oslo-in.html<br />Other than that I would check the forums on www.gearslutz.com. At any rate I can say that I’d be exited to test the BM6 Mkiii since I liked the Mki so much! And I’d be more exited to test the Mkiii than I would testing the Mkii, if the BM5 is anything to go by. My hope would be that the BM6 Mkiii perfects what the BM5 Mkiii tries to do — but again, that’s me guesstimating! Feel free to drop me a line again if you get to try them out, and thanks for the comment!Haraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307793708857764690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344406103903539849.post-63198987940163011192016-03-11T23:02:04.456-08:002016-03-11T23:02:04.456-08:00 Excellent review!!!

If you have the room to support t...Thank you Yago!<br /><br />If you have the room to support the size, I would go for the Alpha 80. It will let you pick out the different elements of the mix easier, and deliver the biggest frequency-range (great for the lows on drones in Loscil's music for example). I think the Alpha 50 could be the biggest surprise with how well it can deliver for its size and cost. The Alpha 65 will be more detailed than the 50, but I think it will give a less open and clear idea of especially the lows than the 80 does. The 50 might also be perceived as a bit less prominent (or a bit flatter) in the mid-range than the 65. Of the tree, I guess I would find the internal balance of the lows on an album like 'Stases' a little harder to gauge on the 65. This is due to its more prominent mid-range and tendency towards a punchier rather than open bass (probably the most subjective opinion of my reply). –Though this would have to be offset against being quite a detailed monitor for the price.<br /><br />To sum up: if you have the right space, I would go for the 80. If you are going for one of the smaller ones there is a trade-off with two different sets of positives on each side. If I was made to choose between the 50 and 65, I might narrowly choose the 65 due to its better resolution and bigger membrane. If you chose the 65, just burn them in well and then see if you can make an eq. adjustment afterwards (or use room-correction software), if you feel it is required. If you feel they provide what you need to hear, I’d just leave the eqs as flat as possible.<br /><br />All the best! :-)Haraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307793708857764690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344406103903539849.post-77467492462135649532016-01-31T13:20:58.713-08:002016-01-31T13:20:58.713-08:00Good review thanks a lot, Which of the three would...Good review thanks a lot, Which of the three would you recommend to make ambient music?

I could see why artists or engineers would prefer the Alpha 65's but I would have to say they are probably only punchier because they are missing or lacking certain detail in the midrange. Maybe I am incorrect in saying that, but I went ahead and bought the Alpha 80's which I am extremely pleased with. It's overall range response is abolutely amazing and the low end definitely had me mistaken for my sub possibly being on. I actually do prefer punchier speakers, but only for the case of playback and not mixing or recording. It's better to hear as much detail in the production stage as possible and probably always a good idea to just have a second set of speakers, punchier, on the side ready to go for reference anyways.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001515104773910444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344406103903539849.post-88669656199865732012015-01-26T10:37:39.631-08:002015-01-26T10:37:39.631-08:00So nice to read something possitive about music, B...So nice to read something possitive about music, Bradford and Yorkshire.
