The MKII looks very similar to the BM6A. It seems that the biggest differences are the controls in the back. I'm curious if threre is more.

I thought DynAudio drivers were pretty well respected... what would be a better sounding/performing option?  

I can't remember a pro DynAudio monitor that had any other kind of mid/bass driver.

Curious...

? 50 watt to the tweeter as opposed to 100 watt on the 1st series, yet the x-over point is lower (1500 instead of 2200)

Ummmm..........

? are those the same Chinese amp that are in the BM5As, which aren't the same as in the 6As

Ummmmmm.............


Food for thought

I used to own BM6A's, but now I realize the 2k region (near the crossover point) was too soft sounding and can make you EQ a little sharp.

Don't get me wrong, BM6A's are still good speakers, but they really should try a good paper cone woofer or quite possibly some sort of a rigid cone solution. It's like there's a difference in resolution between the tweeter and the woofer.

I agree. To my ears too, this is the achilles' heel of these otherwise very useful nearfields.

I don't think the poly cone is really a key factor in the 6A's sound. In my room the 6A's with a Benchmark DAC-1 & a DD12 sub is a great combo. I don't find that the 6A's are lacking in the 2kHz range, in fact I often find myself EQ'ing out some of that range on  harsh mixes & rarely adding it.

The Dynaudio drivers are used in the C4 & most of the Duntech/Dunlavy range of speakers & these are all highly reverred so they must be doing something right with their drivers poly or otherwise... Smile

Mathew, do you se the BM6A for mastering? I could not see the model of your monitors at your homepage.
The just released BM12A is more powerful than the BM6a/BM6aMK2.

Well, to be fair Matt, the 6A's I currently work with are placed behind the meter bridge of a humongous 70's console, so that's probably not the best situation for a good evaluation.

Still like 'em though. Good for long mixing sessions.

I use a pair of Velodyne DD12s in my room and absolutely love them - they extend down to 17Hz and integrate very nicely with my mains (crossed over at 36Hz,mains run full range). Hard to find any fault with them, honestly...

i saw the mkII's at NAMM, one of the sales reps there actually told me that he thought the older BM6A'a sounded BETTER.
i have mixed on the BM6A's quite a bit and really like them.
i tried to listen to the mkII's at NAMM....but seriously, can you even hear yourself think at NAMM?

Hey Brad, when are you going to upgrade your DD12's for 2 of these?

That would seriously get some air (& the walls) moving Very Happy
