Hedd Type 07 mk2 vs. Focal Shape 65 (upgrading from my Adams)

[Tendou]

Hello,
my Adams A7xs are dated, about 10 years old, and I bought them 2nd hand.
I saved some money up to upgrade my speakers. Sadly we dont have a local music store where I can try them out so I need to order a new pair to listen to them.

I did a significant amount of research and I find the Hedd Type 7 and the Focal Shape 65s very interesting and I wonder if one of you guys uses one of them and can recommend them.
I create EDM/Techno music and do the mixes and masters myself. My room is about 3.5x4 meters big.

Id be happy with other suggestions as well, maybe even with a slightly higher price but Id prefer to stay in this price range.

Thank you.

Also in this range are the Neumann KH120 which are also well rated. They are supposed to be very flat and also forgiving of a small space and/or positioning. (You seem to have a decent sized room though).

I can't help with the shape 65, though I know the focal twins sound great. I trust their 'dna' so to speak.

Haven't worked with Adams and the last time I heard any was a long time ago.

Thomann store usually have a lot of user reviews where you can get an informed opinion.

You might be able to find somewhere that can ship for you to test in your room.

Whichever you go for of you don't have good speaker stands I'd recommend some primacoustic pads to go underneath and help decouple from what they sit on.

Also must consider Genelec, like the 8330A for nearfield monitoring.
Adam Audio just released an update of the A7X, the A7V, although it is not available around here.
And if you really want to shell out more you could get the S3V 3-way powered midfield monitors.
