2 Way Bookshelves- 6 1/2" or 10" midwoofer dilemma

65.103.127.6

OK so I'm deliberating between 2 active monitors:

Dynaudio BM6A: soft dome tweeters with 6 1/2" midwoofers
Dynaudio BM15A: same tweeters but with 10" midwoofers

Of course the BM15A's go lower, and both probably have flat frequency responses. If I add the Air Base 1 (12" active sub later), I wonder what set-up would sound better, going with the BM6A's or the BM15A's? It makes me curious if there would be better mids with the BM6A's as opposed to the BM15A, or basically no difference. I am thinking the latter, but I do not have the opportunity to listen to these studio monitors.

I currently have some Paradigm Active/20's, which I love. My thought would be to use these in another area if the Dynaudios prove superior. Or, sell them which would be hard to do but the $ would be nice to cover part of the new Dynaudios.

My thought is the BM15A's with the Air Base 1 would be a better sounding combination, such as crossing over to the sub at a lower point, for more stereo effect.

Opinions are most welcome, thanks.
