Short answer: the Focal ST6 Twin6, if you are buying new. The Focal Twin6 Be ranks higher than the PMC result6 (#104 vs #117 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers) but is discontinued; its replacement, the Focal ST6 Twin6, is rated 3.8/5 at $3,898 and is still sold new.
The Focal Twin6 Be is the more accurate pick. A dual woofer studio monitor with a beryllium tweeter and plenty of output for dedicated mixing rooms. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 4.04 against 2.86 for the PMC result6. The tradeoff: The horizontal measurement scores 6.06 with an ideal subwoofer and spans 2.9dB from 300Hz to 5kHz.
Why pick the PMC result6: A professional active monitor with a transmission line cabinet and simple balanced analog input, best paired with a subwoofer. Watch for: The measured -3dB point is 67.4Hz, and preference scores of 2.86 standalone and 5.37 with an ideal subwoofer reveal limited native tonal accuracy.
Buy the Focal ST6 Twin6, the replacement for the discontinued Focal Twin6 Be; it is rated higher for sound quality than the PMC result6.
