Iv tried both and the Dynaudios made me impressed

:conf: |

I felt like the Dynaudios had a lot cleaner and detailed sound than the Mackies. Just got my BM12A's in today :D
Honestly, the Mackies and Genelecs really disappointed me compared to the Dynaudios. I really expected them to be better competition when I was trying them out in the music shop. |

| imho monitors have to fit your taste. i know some technical top level producer who mixes on hifi speakers. it's much more important to know how your monitors translate to other speakers than to have the ultra flat reponse. especially it depends a lot on your room accoustics. |

So true, I'm saying that most of the times as well but I'm getting tired of doing so. But from my point of view the dynaudios are far better, and the way the start post is written I think Moar will benefit more from dynaudios as well :)
BTW, Moar, the BM6a mark 1 is more expensive than the mark 2 at the online shop where I buy my gear. I haven't heard the mark 1, but if you get a chance to compare it to the mark 2 I'd do it if I where you. Will save you quite a few $$ (Almost 400 Euro) if they sound practically the same :) |

I remember reading an article Rip Rowan wrote about the BM6a. It was some monitor round up and he said the Dyns were like the 'anti NS-10s'.
Hes sort of right and when you mix on them you basically do the exact opposite of what you probably would have done on NS-10s which had ridiculously hyped mid range. Dyn BM5a and BM6a have like no mid range so you hear lots of top and bottom and a...hole in between.
You get used to it eventually but then people who use NS-10s regularly will tell you that you get used to mixing on them with super hyped mids. In truth I don't think it matters a fig what you use so long as you spend enough time using them that you get used to the way they sound. Cyrus pretty much summed it up better than I could.
And yeah, room acoustics - hah! Huge influence on the sound. In my current room, all bass drums sound totally different when I monitor with BM5as 3 feet away from my ears and then move back another 3 feet. Its the difference between 'dumm' and 'DOOOOMM'. I mentioned elsewhere that I find the tweeters are sensitive to direction to the point where its annoying. I feel like I have to sit quite still and remember what place I was sitting in otherwise everything sounds sort of different.
I have a love/hate thing going on with them. Next door, one of my housemates has a pair of Alesis M1s. After some initial reservations I came to the conclusion that they sound different to my Dyns but they were every bit as usable once you 'get' how they work. Dynaudio's customer service is good though whereas Alesis' customer service sucks so I wouldn't really be too happy about being out of warranty when the M1s break down. |

i tested the MK II and no wonder they'r cheaper...they actually more suited to smaller rooms to me tho it sounded like a Regular stereo speaker (stab me if im wrong...)
yea Room Acoustics ...ill have to get to that in some level :)
thanks for your opinions guys!
