I’ve recently tried these KRK monitors. They are the less expensive ones made by this company. I was exactly looking for that, affordable with good quality home studio monitors. I was looking to have a somehow reliable monitoring of my recordings without having to spent over $500, I think If have to spent that much money I might as well go all the way and buy Dynaudios, which I believe are the best in the market today.

You can get these new for a price around $150 each. Look on ebay though, you will be able to get a pair for $200.

I think these are really good monitors for the price you pay, you can’t expect much from a 5” speaker anyway. They have plenty of power and specially bass. I almost think they actually are a little two bassy, what really impressed me. I would never expect that from such small monitors. These are great for hobbists and those who are stating their home studios.

A tad too bassy for my taste, it makes loose clarity.

Well built monitors, they can handle and do a lot more than you can expect.
These are the spec of the Rokit 5 G2:
Woofer: 5' Glass Aramid Composite Woofer
Tweeter: 1' Neodymium Soft Dome Tweeter with Ferro Fluid
Input: XLR (3-pin), RCA and 1/4' TRS - 10k Ohm, Balanced / Unbalanced
Amplification: 75 Watt Bi-amp Dynamic Power, 18 dB Octave Filters
Frequency Response: 53Hz - 20kHz
Dimensions (H x W x D): 10 7/8' x 7 1/4' x 9 7/8' 27.6cm x 18.5cm x 25cm

Great choice if you are starting your home studio, affordable with great quality.
