I know you can learn every speaker eventually, just trying to find out which one I should get in the first place.
So, do you think the 305 would be good enough or should I go for the Focals?
What about the Alpha 80? Have you heard those? Are they much better than the 65?
Thanks again!
Heard the Alpha 80,only briefly liked what I heard, the consensus seems to lean toward the 65's though. I also did like the 65 quite a bit.
Of course I am in a whole other realm these days monitor wise, kinda spoiled I think.

I would say the 305/308 are the best bang for the buck under $500 easily shooting above their price point. I would also say the Focal Alpha Series is the best under 1k monitor. Once you get over 1k it starts getting really interesting as there are some interesting options.
