Dynaudio Or Adam?, Opinions for Rock/Pop mixing. Options

[mixfisto]

HI, I know this has probably been discussed somewhere at some time, but I am curious about which monitor today's engineers prefer and why. The monitors in particular are the Dynaudio Bm6a's and ADAM's equal in the size and price range...

Dynaudio, good all-rounder, good stereo, not tiring, but depending of the room, the BM15a may be better.
ADAM, pin point sound (transients to kill), good stereo, though the midfield are preferred. Their revealing tendency can be surprising. They a used in some mastering facilities. The most interesting part of the ADAM range is more expensive than the BM6a.

if I had the BM6a budget, I'd go BM6a, ADAM is a better contender in the bigger models (sub no more mandatory). Now the new models may be better suited for competition. But as they were new at frankfurt, I've got to hear them still, maybe at the AES in Paris.

Check the Focal too (I have yet to hear them but they're battling ground with ADAM, can't stop hearing about them)
