Great Thread!
 I'm thinking about ordering a pair tomorrow. My room is 13 x 18, and since it sounds fine in Fox's 12 x 17, I assume the power output should be sufficient for my room as well. Any comments? Cosmo |

Tonio,
Well, I haven't really had a good chance to put the Titan to task. I loaned it out to a buddy of mine though who was cutting some vocal tracks with a Studio Projects C1. For what it's worth, he was quite pleased with the results. He felt the bottom was tighter and the high end not as brittle. War characterizes this mic as "smooth" and I'm thinking that's about as spot on as I can't relay given the experience I've had with the mic. I'm especially looking forward to using it as a bass cab and drum overhead spot mic. For now, if/when I do vocal overdubs for projects it'll be my "money" mic. We'll see..... Best, trans |

I have few photos inside of bm5a, amps & drivers.

Are those same drivers than in bm6a: D260/17w75? |

From the specs on these speakers I am gathering the tweeters are the same but the woofers are not. Also, the BM6A's crossover point is at 2.2kHz while the BM5A's is at 1.5kHz. The BM6A recieved 100 watts for both the tweeter and the woofer while the BM5A receives 50 watts for each .

Glad I came across this thread... I've been giving some thought about upgrading my monitors and I actually have Behringer B2031A Truths, so... after reading this I think I have to buy myself Dynaudio monitors now

How does Dynaudio BM5A compare to similarly priced Quested S6? I've read a good review on Quested at Music Tech Mag link

Dan recommended these to me. Tom traded in an upright electric bass and a Japanese fender for these at Sam Ash. We got an even trade, suprisingly enough. Lucky me!
Wow! Huge difference. It's going to make my life much easier and much more pleasant! lol... There were phasing issues that I was having from cloning drum tracks. I didn't hear these problems before. I immediately heard it through these. I do hear each instrument more seperated and it makes it much easier to pan and eq everything into it's own space. evt Corrientes Website: http://www.corrientesmusic.com Corrientes Forum: http://corrientesmusic.com/phpBB2/ EVT's Studio Forums Journal: http://studioforums.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/4771010951/m/9561043542 |

Hey Dan! Thanks for the comments! I am trying to decide on the BM6As or the BM5As and some people have said the BM6A were better... but I have a 11'X 12' project studio and don't need the extra power, so for me.. it sounds like the BM5As will do the trick  BTW... I currently am using the blue sky media desk. If I may ask... how do they compare with the BM5As (minus the sub of course.) I may end up getting the Dynaudio sub for the 5A's later as well! Thanks, Jamie |

Hey everyone!
Interesting thread. Everything I read about the BM5As sounds awesome. Does anyone know how they compare with the Adam A7? Cheers Trev |

I actually started a thread comparing the two over at gearsluts.com. Heres the link: Dynaudio BMTa's vs Adam A7's (@ Gearsluts) .Brian. |

I thought I'd give a heads up to anyone considering the passive Dyns.
After hearing the BM5a at Guitar Center, I decided to buy the BM6p monitors ($800) along with a used Hafler P3000 ($300) MOSFET amp. This combination sounds excellent -- better than the demo at GC, primarily due to my room being treated -- and I can recommend it to anyone considering passives. FYI, the amps in the active Dyns are MOSFET. - Jim |

Interesting James, I've read (GS) that the amps in teh BM6's are lacking.
Not bad for a $500 savings. T |

I've been running BM6's for about a year now, and would be hard-pressed to find a way in which they are lacking. For what they are (a nearfield), they are articulate and detailed, with good imaging and suprising power for their size. They aren't as ear-bleed-loud as my Mackie HR824's or the Tannoy System 800a's we just got, but I print better mixes on the Dynaudios.

I don't smoke, but it's a bar, for God's sake. That's what your supposed to expect. It's a den of iniquity where people are going to indulge in all of the minor vices and sins denied to them during their mundane workdays. You can wreck your liver, ruin your hearing, get into a fight, and pick up an STD, but somehow smoking is unacceptable? Sheesh. We've turned into a nation of entitled whiners. |

thanks for that Ian. Just something I read, so YMMV.

hey guys great info here !
Do you think the BM6A MK2's are worth the extra $$ 500 over the BM5A's ?? they claim better frequency response due to a larger cabinet .. or is this just a cash grab on dynaudio's part ?? the woofer & tweeter are identical. |
