M-Audio BX5a or Swan M200? - Page 2

Yeah, I can't expect them to want to play with the mackies. But they'll be in the living room. I just want something in the bedroom that doesn't sound awful. I was just going to get something really cheap, but alas, Ive been around here too long for that! ha ha

I would just go with the BX5a, because I have heard the StudioPro 4, and thought it was amazing for the price. But I don't want something sibilant or even close to sibilant. And so the m200 sounds like it may be a better option. But the new version is a bit pricey. So it would probably be a used older model m200 if that is what i went with.

I'd second them.. they just sound amazing.. and they're so sturdy as well. They've lasted in my church forever!

I got the swan M200 before buying BX8A. The reason why I bought BX8A was that the left speaker of M200 became silent after one month using. I am planning to have a repair by warranty. So far, I can tell M200 is a very good monitor speaker with a lot of detail. I think the BX8A is even better than M200 when you play on high volume but I have never tried that due to my neighbor's complains.

So I'm looking at several speakers now (yay thread revival)

Looking at Swan D1080mkII, Swan M200MkII, and the M-Audio BX5a

Im borrowing a friends BX5as are okay but it sounds like the left driver might have a bit of trouble, and a friend of mine had a paid that he said started popping. Has anyone else had problems with these as far as quality control?

I've listened to the BX5a's, and did not like them at all.

I have, however, had the Behringer 2030Ps recommended to me. They have incredibly flat frequency response and very low distortion, and while they do need an external amp, they are quite cheap at $130/pair.

I personally like the Bx5a for the price i paid ($100 used) The highs are fantastic imo but the mids and bass are a bit muddy, but thats to be expected for speakers of that price range.
