I know that I must spend some time doing some critical listening, etc... but wanted a good place to start. I will be using them primarily for mixing, but will also be tracking/writing/arranging as well. I plan on keeping these for a few years while the rest of my studio grows around them. Can you please let me hear some of your praises... and also some of your warnings??? Any help will be appreciated Thanks!!!

I've spent hours on the net "researching" monitors before going out to have a listening party in order to better inform myself of what to expect, people's reviews vs. what the manufacturers says, etc... I work mostly with rock and pop. From what I gather, the Dynaudio's seem to be a favorite. I have a question though: what is the difference between the bm5a and the bm6a??? Besides double the wattage, there doesn't seem to be much difference (in the specs) and the bm6a's cost almost double. Can someone please tell me why. Unfortunatly, I really cant afford the bm15a's...maybe later. Thanks again
