Just eyeballing the photos of the BM5 the tweeter looks like a lesser unit than the focus' Esotec tweeter. But you do make a valid point, in that I have noticed a trend where pro-audio gear seems to cheaper than similarly specced domestic gear. Seems like dealer margins are fatter in the domestic arena, maybe cos us domestic schmoe's need more dealer support and backup!!! But to compare the BM5, with the Focus 140 is not really comparing like with like. I think the Focus 140 is better specced in terms of its drivers, and its trapezeoid shape cabinet (and I think it is rear ported also). ciao Rav |
