| The BM 6A mkIIs seem great. They go down to 40hz. |

nope! a good set of headphones will often give you a clearer sound, but stereo is screwed and the frequency response isn't as flat as monitors. |
Clearer sound? yes. True representation of frequencies/levels? No. |

| AT this point, it seems like it's between the Mackie HR824 mk2s and the Dynaudio BM 6A mk2s. Any thoughts on comparing the two? |

:rolleyes:
flatness, transient response, etc. all go in the same bag. |

Aren't the HR824s like 10 years old and not really that industry standard anymore, and the BM6A MKIIs are like what, a whole 5 months old and being raved about by tonnes of people?
Both great monitors but I think the new Dyns have the edge, especially in the mids and highs. |

I think BM6As are older than the new HR824s. Either way, they're both pretty new! |

If you really need a bit more bass then you can always get the BM6a MK2 as they go down to 40Hz, compared to 50Hz on the 5's.

True, bm5a's are somewhere near 50Hz, which should be enough as well. A Lot of speakers go upwards from 50Hz. It really depends on the fact if someone is willing to `overlook` the last 20-30Hz's below :). Most of the time it isn't really a problem. But it the end it could just make the difference you where looking for :).
I know I'm going for the Dynaudio Air6's (and probably with sub) in 2008 :toothless |

I meant the Dyns :p
When did the Mackie Mk2s get released? I think they are getting on a bit too, or am I wrong? |

I think early this year, like june-ish. |

Really? Oh , I thought they were a bit older.
Ok well then it seems like they are both rather new then :toothless
I also just noticed the word "new" when you were talking about the Mackies. Haha, I'm all over the shop today. |
