I will appreciate if anyone can give me some information of the difference of these two active monitors.
 
I am currently using a Krell KPS25SC source and Evolution 202 preamp setup to drive my main electrostatic SR-009. However sometimes I have to use speaker instead of cans when I am doing some working that I cannot wear headphone conveniently.
 
The current speaker I am using is M-Audio AV-40. Obviously it does not quite satisfied my requirement so I decide to obtain a new pair of speakers.
 
I lock the target to Adam A7X/A8X and Dynaudio BM6A after some investigation. I do not want to use a passive speaker as I do not have money and place for a Krell Evolution 402 (which I am going to get when I have bigger place). My main favorite music are Classical musics (90% piano + 5% violin + 5% others). Here are some questions I would like to ask. I will appreciate if someone can help me out.

The place I am going to use the speaker is around 30 square metres large and the distance between me and speaker will be around 2~3.5 metres.
 
1. Is there big difference between A7 and A7X? Is A7X a pure update of A7 (by this I mean, is A7X better than every aspect than A7)
 
There are 1 A7X and 1 A7 on eBay right now, and I decide to take one of them.
 
2. Is BM6A/BM15A significantly better than A7/A7X/A8X when playback piano? They are actually same price rank in US but BM6A's price seems to be quite inflated in Australia. I have read some comment which shows BM6A fits piano playback very well, but not quite sure of A7/A7X.
 
3. Is there any other recommendation that anyone can give me about active speaker? For example, Genelec 8040A/8050A etc....
 
Again, thanks everyone in advance!!
