Which speaker would you like to be reviewed? (community interest thread)

[amirm]

Fostex PM0.4, I thought amir had one in for review when he reviewed the smaller PM0.3 but maybe never got round to measuring?

I don't recall having one. It is discontinued now as well.

Now that Focal has reached out for the Solo6 review is there any chance of seeing a review of the Trio 6 or 11? I’m using the 6 as L&R and the 11 for my center

Let me ask....

For the Trio 11 a thorough set of 3rd party measurement set already exists

Focal Trio11 Be − Midfield-Monitor im Test

Mit der Trio11 Be stellte der französische Hersteller Focal zur Namm-Show 2019 sein neustes Spitzenmodell unter den hauseigenen Studiomonitoren vor. Die Trio11 Be gehört zur SM6-Serie und ist, wie die Typenbezeichnung es schon andeutet, ein 3-Wege-Monitor mit Beryllium-Hochtöner. Neben dem...

Thanks Amir, I didn't realize it is discontinued which is a shame as I came across a copy of the manual which contains a frequency response graph:

10dB scale and no mention of how it is made unfortunately but looks like it could have been very good for the price and size.

n.b. I found it was here you said you had one.

There was one at the Pacific Audio Show last month. The designer/founder was there. I almost walked up to him to ask for a review sample. But then listened to it and its issues were so apparent that I knew it would measure poorly. So didn't ask.

Do you know what model he had playing? I love the sound I get from the Pendragons I own and having a speaker that truly let me ditch the sub I was using made me really appreciate their low end extension.

Mine do not have the 7 tweeter array though. Instead they only use a 3 tweeter array:

Oops. I confused them with Nola with that sound comment. The company was not there but another brand was and the owner had this one:

The measures I've seen of the home one were good, not great. These are speakers that for sure are at home in a studio with treated side walls, not so much elsewhere.
