    Default Dynaudio BM5A MKII or Yamaha HS80M?

    Ok, so I am in a little quandry....My M-Audio EX66's have blown another tweeter. never again will I replace or buy those again! Temporarily I am using my "little" M-Audio Studiophile monitors to get by until I can get something decent. I have about $1200.00 to for the upgrade. I have seen some great reviews/comparisons on this forum and think I have it narrowed down between the Dynaudio BM5A MKII or Yamaha HS80M? I designed and built my room from John Sayers site, I have adequate bass trapping/slot resonators and clouds and speaker soffits designed for the EX66's. I know I am going to have to modify the soffits so that isn't an issue. I am looking for some monitors that don't have a history of breaking down, accurate and won't wear out my ears. So, who likes the Dynaudio BM5A MKII's or the Yamaha HS80M's?

    The Dynaudio line gets a good amount of love here...

    I bought the BM5As several months ago, as a replacement for switching between a pair of Alesis Monitor One (MkII) and M-Audio BM5a.
    Both had major "holes" in their sound, in my room.

    Happy I made the move - the Dynaudios are definitely more neutral (non-flattering AND non-detracting), and translate a lot better.

    I had learned the other two pairs awfully well, so I'm still adjusting the the Dynaudios a bit... low-mid always seems to be a problem for me.

    Anyways, really liking the Dynaudios so far, can't comment on the Yamaha model.

    Dynaudios all the way. They're in a totally different league.
