Short answer: both are discontinued, so this only matters if you are buying used. Used, the Dynaudio Core 47 is the better pick: it ranks #75 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality (rated 4.1/5), against #104 (rated 3.8/5) for the Focal Twin6 Be. If you want one new, the Focal ST6 Twin6 replaces the Focal Twin6 Be and is rated 3.8/5 at $3,898.
The Dynaudio Core 47 is the more accurate pick. A professional three-way studio monitor with useful bass and flexible installation controls, with analog and digital inputs. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 4.99 against 4.04 for the Focal Twin6 Be. The tradeoff: The measured 3.1dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz and listening-window unevenness keep it below the leading accuracy choices.
What the Focal Twin6 Be does well: A dual woofer studio monitor with a beryllium tweeter and plenty of output for dedicated mixing rooms. The catch: The horizontal measurement scores 6.06 with an ideal subwoofer and spans 2.9dB from 300Hz to 5kHz.
Buy the Dynaudio Core 47 only if you find one used in good condition; both are discontinued, and it is the better rated of the two. For a new speaker, buy the Focal ST6 Twin6, which replaces the Focal Twin6 Be.
