Step Up (Or Two) From BMR Monitor

Wondering which monitor(s) are a significant step up in performance from the BMRs?

Powering with a Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 (60W @8 ohms, 120W @ 4 ohms).

I’m not sure that it matters, but what generation of BMR do you have in mind?
I’m also interested to hear any opinions.

Hmmmm.   No one seems to be offering an opinion.  So--I think improvements over the BMR will be more in the area of power handling than accuracy or bass extension per se.  For example, the new BePure1 will play a good bit louder before the woofer runs out of travel.

Thanks Dennis. I should add that I'm running dual subs, so lower end extension isn't the most critical factor. Efficiency (I have 60W/channel at 8 ohms and 120W at 4 ohms) and dynamic capability would probably be my two top "technical" priorities. Accuracy, imaging, and soundstage are also critical.
