Well, I fell in love with the BM5as..I actually heard things in mixes tha
I could not with other monitors in that price range.

My sweetwater rep told me that the BM6's are more mid rangy and can carry
a little bit more bottom end.. If I had a sub, I'd go for eh BM5as..

I haven't heard the 6As, but the main difference between them and the 5As is
power (I assume you are talking about the actives, but have heard good
things about the BM6 passives).

If you have a large room and need more power, the 6As would probably be the
best choice at 100W each for the tweeter and woofer. The BM5As however,
carry plenty of power (50/50) and can easily support a 3-10 foot distance
from the mix position. I have a 5.1 setup of 5As and a BM9S sub - great sub
as well.

They are superb monitors.

Regards,
Dedric

OOPS! Mine are the 5A's, as well, not the 6's, Same
drivers/different power amps, as I understand it (the 6's can
go to "11" lol)

IME, the 5's have plenty of power for nearfields, and I don't
notice anything missing from the low end on 'em, except for
stuff where I might probably need a subwoofer to begin with.
