But... nevermind what he went for, its what you want to go for that matters... listen to both read review make up your mind. Personaly I went of for the bm6a and if i had the money I would already have the twin 6 regardless of what vibe tribe or any other artist went for.

yeah totally agree
i just wanted to know what others thought. reading music magazines, you get the impression that the genelecs are the dogs bollocks but they never seem to review the dynaudio stuff.
On here and on the psymusic uk forum everyone seems to rate the dynaudios very highly and i was trying to get a broad range of views from people who had heard both in action.
It's been very difficult where i am to arrange a "face off", unfortunately.
i like the look / comments regarding the o300s, the focal twins and the S2as but they are probably out of my price bracket for now.
thanks for the comments, keep them coming

Can't speak for the 6's, but I have a pair of Dynaudio BM5A's. I'm fairly friendly with the salesman at the music shop I bought them at and when I was deciding he had a pair sent to the shop to test and he brought in his personal pair of Genelecs that were basically the equivalent speakers that he'd bought the year before and we A/B'ed them. The Genelecs were nice, but the Dynaudios were just better. Even the salesman, who prior to that had been strongly recommending the Genelecs to me, had to admit it, saying rather disappointedly that he should have a/b'ed them when he was shopping as he "bought the wrong monitors". From what I remember the Genelecs sounded a bit more "middy" especially nearing the bass freq.s and they completely lacked the openness and stereo image of the Dynaudios. Granted these were the 5's and not the 6's, so your mileage may vary, but there was a big difference between the two.

I am also using Dynaudio BM5 and not only do they sound great, but the sound is quite representative, i.e. I have been able to make mixes that sound good on other systems and that's important. For the price Dynaudio has great sound, and I hear many people making good mixes on them.

Someone told me that the Dynaudio BM6 have to much bass and that I should get Adam A7 instead.
Seems like to me I'm going from one extreme to the other, plus even if I know that the A7 are really good indeed, I've not read as many good things than with the BM6.
Still, the guy who told me that is a producer and a music shop owner, so I'm a bit lost. |

well..i have listened today to both adam a7 and dynaudio bm6a and i can tell u that the dynaudio have better bass response than the adam a7
but i also think that dynaudio sounds "too good" ..they make "bad" mix sound nice.
on the other hand the mid and high response of the the adam a7 is really great but they dont have enogh bass...
so the best solution was to connect an adam sub8 to the adam a7 and it was sounds killahhh!
and i think it cost the same like the dynaudio bm6a or even less!

I've heard multiple people say that the bm6a's make everything sound good, which isn't something you want.

I use the BM6a for a couple of years now and I totally agree with that.
They are great speakers, but they really tend to make you mixes look too nice. They also tend to "soften" the sound which sometimes lead to making the sound too sharp.
I still love them, but I don't think they are among the most honest monitors.
But in this pricerange every monitor has its cons, so.. in the end its you to decide which con is the least problem for you.
If you tend to make your soung too soft, the BM6a may be good. If you tend to make you sound to hard.. especially in th 2-6khz range the dynaudio will probably make you mix even sharper..

best tip for monitors  , its all about your perception ,, same here with focals solo6 , they are at the same range, not the same sound of course but they are "soft" monitors and lots of commercial music sound reeeeally sharp on them and they are far more open in the mid range than the Dynaudio which are more tight i think when heard them, is it that the reason they sound "too good" maybe??
i think the match for choosing is :
soft ears - hard monitors
hard ears - soft monitors (?)

Of course provided one have problems adjusting your mixes according to what monitors you use, which is a very fundamental skill IMO.
Personally I like monitors with a bit softer sound since it doesn't fatigue the ears as much...less intense treble doesn't need to mean that it lacks definition.
But admittedly dynaudios definition in the treble is not that great, as opposed to the bass definition which is very good.

Well, that comes over a little arogant,
What you call "fundamental skill" simply means "work". Why bother and work if you can simply choose the right monitors for your type?

I really have trouble seeing that people would be different types that tend too make to bright or too soft mixes.
It's like aiming when throwing a ball...if you notice that you usually throw it too high you adjust your aim and throw a bit lower...instead replacing the ball to try to get it on target seems like a very odd approach to me.
Sure some monitors can be a lot of work to make good mixes on, but that has to do with other factors than the sharpness of the treble in my experience.
I know monitors that makes your ears bleed that I find it easy to mix on as well as ones with really smooth and non-fatiguing treble, and vice versa.
I prefer the latter and some people prefer the former, but it's not on the basis that it's needed due to some inherent sense I have when it comes to spectral balance that the monitors need to compensate for.
The main thing is to get monitors that is easy to make mixes with that translates well and that you enjoy working with. If the reason your mixes doesn't translate well is that they always have to much treble the problem is not with the monitors just like you cannot blame a ball that you always aim too high with it.
