Short answer: the Focal Trio6 ST6. Both are rated 4.2/5 for sound quality (#62 and #63 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers), and the Focal Trio6 ST6 costs $6,998 against $8,200 for the Meyer Sound Amie, and with sound quality even, the cheaper one is the better buy.
The case for the Meyer Sound Amie: Professional nearfield monitors with a reasonably even midrange, best paired with a subwoofer in a dedicated studio setup. The catch: Measured -3dB extension is 48.3Hz, so full-range monitoring benefits from bass support.
The Focal Trio6 ST6 is the more accurate option. Three-way studio monitors with useful deep bass and switchable Focus modes for flexible mix checking. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 5.46 against 4.85 for the Meyer Sound Amie. The tradeoff: The measured balance tilts downward through the treble, with a 2.6dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz.
Buy the Focal Trio6 ST6. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $1,202 less than the Meyer Sound Amie.

Frequency Response Compared
Both speakers’ spinorama measurements, overlaid. A flatter line is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. Each curve is shifted so its average from 300 Hz to 3 kHz sits at 0 dB, so loudness differences between the two are removed and only the shape is compared. The two were measured by different sources, so small differences, especially in the bass, can come from the measurement setup rather than the speakers.
