Is the M-Audio bx5a 5 inch Biamplified studio monitor?

There’s a new Deluxe version of the B5xa’s that’s recently come out, and M-audio’s PR says they sound even better, which I find hard to believe.

Connect them via a Y cable to your Mac or PC and enjoy sound that blows Bose, Yamaha and Harmon Kardon speakers away.

M-audio has done an amazing bit of engineering in these small wonders. They’re terrific for mixing music, which means they’re not too heavy in the bass, midrange or top end.
