Te koop: 2 focal alpha 65 studiomonitors, ideaal voor muziekproductie en kritisch luisteren. Deze actieve monitors leveren een nauwkeurige en dynamische geluidsweergave, perfect voor zowel de beginnen
€400 is a fair ask for a Focal Alpha 65 in today’s used market: it sits just below the €425 median and well under the €459 75th percentile, so this is not overpriced. It’s close enough to the center of the pack that I’d call it a sensible buy rather than a bargain-bin steal.
The Alpha 65 is well liked for its clean, punchy bass, clear midrange, and honest monitoring balance, which makes it useful for both music listening and home-studio work. If the pair is tidy and both drivers are healthy, the main upside here is getting a respected active speaker at a solid, market-aligned price; just make sure the seller can confirm they power up quietly and include the needed cables or stands if you’ll need them.

Focal traces its roots to 1979 in Saint-Étienne, France, where engineer and hi-fi enthusiast Jacques Mahul founded the company in a small workshop within his father's precision engineering firm. Initially operating as JMlab, it began crafting bespoke speaker drivers, with early models like the DB13 earning acclaim for their compact yet dynamic bass performance. This heritage of acoustic innovation and French craftsmanship propelled Focal's evolution, marked by pivotal 1990s expansions under Gérard Chrétien's leadership, yielding iconic references such as the Vega and Grande Utopia loudspeakers that redefined audiophile standards.
The brand's core focus remains high-fidelity loudspeakers, where it excels through in-house driver design featuring breakthroughs like inverted-dome tweeters, Polyglass cones, flax diaphragms, and beryllium tweeters in its Utopia line. Focal has diversified into professional studio monitors, premium headphones, car audio systems, and select accessories, all emphasizing noble materials and meticulous engineering. While not delving into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or cables, its speaker-centric portfolio spans home, mobile, and pro applications with unwavering commitment to purity of sound.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Focal commands respect as a world leader among discerning hi-fi buyers for its benchmark performance, international awards, and "Made in France" prestige. No longer a niche boutique, it blends heritage appeal with cutting-edge technology, attracting serious audiophiles who prioritize transparency, dynamics, and emotional depth over mass-market compromises.
