Neither Focal Alpha 50 nor JBL LSR305 were recommended by experts this month
On 2 Apr 2024 (24 days ago) we went through 100 Studio Monitor expert endorsements , however neither Focal Alpha 50 nor JBL LSR305 were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Studio Monitor received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Yamaha HS8 or other critically acclaimed Studio Monitors of this month.
For reference, Yamaha HS8 received 5 endorsements this month, from E-Home Recording Studio, woodandfirestudio.com (14 Nov 2023) Hyperbits and 2 others.
