Best Studio Monitors in the World...
I've heard Samson's, M-Audio, Yamaha and Behringer Studio Monitors, and NOTHING IS BETTER THAN A KRK MONITOR. The quality is outstanding. If it sound good in a KRK, it sounds good ANYWHERE (Radios, Computers, Ipods, MP3's).

For recording purposes, nothing is greater. The KRK COmpany dedicates ONLY to build Studio monitors, no audio cards, speakers, or guitars and motorcycles, so they put all their efforts to create better studio monitors. 100 out of 5

Excellent as budget-level (but not budget quality) studio monitors
After years of mixing in my amateur home studio without studio monitors (with varied success), I finally decided to try out some monitors within my budget to see if they were worthwhile. I was concerned I wouldn't be able to find anything decent under 500, but I had heard a lot of good reviews about the KRK RP5's and decided to try them out.

First off, they were impressive out of the box. They are both visually attractive and solidly built. I connected them with XLR to 1/4" cables to my Behringer 1202FX mixing board, powered them on, and played through some songs I have recorded using Logic and a Presonus Firebox.

Right from the start I was very impressed by the power and accuracy shown by the Rokits. Vocal tracks, guitars, and MIDI instruments came through very clearly and distinctly. I was also extremely impressed by the amount of bass that comes out of the 5" cones, since I was expecting them to be very light on the bottom. I have not purchased the subwoofer that one can get for these, and at this point, I don't think I will, since the music I make is not very boom-bastic. There's more than enough volume for my needs, and the speakers still sounded good when I cranked up the volume to test them out (I did not go all the way).

I have yet to make any mixes on these to see how they sound, but my first impression is very positive, and I'm extremely impressed that one can get monitors of this quality for under 300.

Great at any price
Have to admit I've spent way more money than I had to over the years trying and later selling various monitors but these guys have stayed. Great quality and more important very clear and pure sound.
