As both are reviewed very well and reportedly perform well beyond their prices, I wonder how do they fare against each other? A $600 proposition vs. a $1,700 proposition. No doubt both pairs of speakers are very special. Anyone has experience with both?
I have spent time critically listening to both.
The DBR-62 is a very good $600 speaker, but it is too laid back for me. I would buy the BMR!
I play in a couple of Big Band Jazz Bands and look for the sound to be as close as possible to my live acoustic experience in these bands.
Some people want a more laid back experience, and if that is you, the DBR's may be a better option.
The biggest difference for me is that the BMR has better presence and a more open sound than the DBR.
If you are uncertain, I might suggest that you take advantage of Crutchfield's easy trial policy where you have 60 days for review and if you don't want to keep them, you pay $10 to get a return UPS label (Crutchfield pays for the return shipping so your end cost is only the $10 for 60 days of trial in your home/room)!
If the DBR sounds veiled to you, go with the BMR!
Note that you may still be able to get in on the BMR road show. I'm not sure if it is booked or not.
