#17 Focal Alpha 65 EVO: $499.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: Very neutral, not quite as good as the Klasik 2020 in the midrange, but with better soundstage and instrument definition than the HS8
Cons: Ignores sub-bass, and the LF/HF trim dials lack a center detent so getting back to flat takes trial and error. The reviewer’s original sample showed an odd distortion spike between 1.5-8kHz at 86dB SPL, though a second sample from Focal didn’t reproduce it - likely a defective unit rather than a design flaw.
How it compares: Just above it: SHIVAUDYO Point Zero - 515W more output power. Just below it: Kali Audio LP-6 V2 - $101 cheaper.
