Studio monitors

I'm looking to replace my old studio monitors and wondered if any of you were using the Focal Alpha 80s? Tossing those around with Yamaha HS8s and possibly the KRK VXT8s

    I have the VXT8s.

    Like anyone who has a pair of good monitors I'll say they are the best, and so on and so forth.

    So they are great!

    For extra sauce I'll suggest a couple other points. Since they are well utilized in general, other tools may relate to them. Here are two examples. I have the Focusrite VRM Box. There's a selection in there for the VXT8s. Nice to be able to compare the modeling of the monitors in your headphones vs the real monitors while mixing.

    I have KRK Headphones as well. Sonarworks Reference (which "calibrates" headphones, or if you pay more, monitors) has KRK standard settings. I use Sonarworks as well. It's convenient how all of it ties together (and sounds great).

    Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

    hope this does not muddy things, but I've been auditioning the Presonus Sceptre S6s for a couple of weeks now, and I really like them. I have a couple other models I want to listen to - but if I had to make the choice today I'd buy the S6s and be quite happy.

    The Yamaha MSP series are, for me, a better buy for the studio.  I've used the 5s in a big studio as secondary speakers and they deliver a good naked sound, not flattering.
