nakedzen « Great value for money »
Published on 10/03/11 at 12:285" speaker, 30W LF, 15W HF, frequency response: 53Hz-20kHz. RCA, XLR and 1/4" jack inputs.
I bought these for use as studio monitors at home, as well as for listening music and TV. I did an A/B test with these against the larger Rokit models as well as the Genelec 8020's. These seemed more pleasing to the ear overall, the Genelecs would possibly be better for exclusively mixing work.
SOUNDS
The Genelecs did sound a bit clearer but not enough to justify the price difference. The larger KRK models seemed to have very farty and muddy bass response compared to the smaller ones. The bass frequencies are a bit soft on these but you could get a subwoofer to fix that.
OVERALL OPINION
I think they're great value for the price. The only possible bad thing about them is that they're made of MDF I think, so they don't take a beating as well. If they broke I'd probably buy another pair of these. The sound is very good except for the soft bass. They're also prone for making noises if you have a laptop plugged into the same extension cord.
