Value For Money : Poor
Everything you read in bold in this notice ftrdig on 8/8/07, notice of origin is dat of 16/07/05. Passs two years are critical for THE FIRST: What have lments srieux to get an ide.

Nice and really big ...
Compact, powerful (in the apartment was enough unless you want to add sound throughout the building) and relatively insensitive derrire the proximity of the wall, they are really enjoyable and far too MUCH of my design got. Not that I think they look awful, no, quite the opposite! It is frankly enjoyable to watch ... This is not the vocation of speakers (to give back to the old radio when watching the tv there was not a second life!).

Trve jokes, she is quite well optimized considering the price of the pair (380 in a real shop and certainly less expensive mail order for those who do not test the stuff before buying).

Report CHARACTERISTICS / usage = 9 / 10

SOUNDS

Well, these are not monitors of 25,000 euros, while the accuracy is no room for that ... your exact a mix made with the monitoring of KRK RP5 thundering enough: it goes well frankly everywhere!

They have a small ct "weapon anti-snob" that will soon pass for aficionados of Mackie intgristes neuneus ... more srieusement between this model and the above SERIES I prfre put the diffrence in price of the big cable or a good compressor ... dpenser not need more if you do not finalize and master at home!

For two years now these speakers Proxim medium format fully satisfy me. In my modest home studio gomtrie variable there was a lot of productions. I do not have a very talented musician and do no have the exprience prtends and know of a really good sound mix-ing (question mestering you can imagine, has not has either) but I know my hardware and starts to know to use it properly. With more than two years with the KRK RP5 passs I am able to say that these are good speakers. In a price range affordable trs especially in a template such reasonable KRK produce a sound and enjoyable little tiring. Real tools for home-studio owners clear but not yet worthy to meet the pros.

I chose to correct with external equalizer. This choice is debatable, but certainly a major asset Submitted face correction "in the back of the speaker" this correction is easily bypass (given that the EQ has a bypass) and refines the sound erasing some of the default of the enclosure. In addition, it allows to operate the amplifiers Intgr optimum performance without pushing the saturation. For pregnant proximity dja are too powerful, I advise you not to spend an hour in front of monitors more than 100W pousss bottom.
The performance of these KRK appeared to me satisfactory (one pass break-conscious) it seemed judiscieux to correct for balance and to draw up plutt that to change for others.

I suggested a small "tutorial" about these speakers and their correction, it may help you be optimizing your own.

OVERALL OPINION

I'm glad I redcouvert prods all my mixes that were on old FOCAL breath and end of life. While certainly not a power issue with my AMPEG bass, but for those who do not know, there is a box for the sub SERIES PR wise ...

I'll offer another pair for the house (yes lugging, even if they are not big c *** is broken) ... I go back!

Once the correct and optimize small cost (placement, orientation, cabling etc) it's a real pleasure to work with. P listen with my modest productions in studios better team (Event, TANNOY, Lafont, Dynaudio) I'm shooting Leone allowed me to correct my costs and to better understand . Without competing with great costs outside the price and therefore irrelevant to me, KRK RP5 seem always an option. If my budget increases the choice will be the NHT, but if I make the KRK inopinment I resigned for the same.

You retain the sins simply:
- Space-saving yield apprciable
- Report qualitprix IDAL
- Rglages Intgr not sufficient, but an equalizer will do wonders
- Good dynamic: not tiring but not soft
- Aesthetics trsrussie, but it's a personal opinion
- Agree to both the rock as the electro
- Stereo image trs convincing if you know the place
- Reliability and robust: mine have hundreds of hours and would do well
