The KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 Powered Studio Monitor takes this KRK design to new heights. All of the great stuff that Rokit's have been known for including front-firing bass port, soft-domed tweeter, glass aramid composite yellow cone are still there, but the G2 Rokit's feature refined voicing and a new curved baffle that looks great, reduces diffraction and provides even better monitoring accuracy.

"If you are even considering these due to budget issues - GO FOR IT. best value for sure."

Quality:
again, FORT THE PRICE. They feel very solid and dont sound cheap.

Sound:
Great sound for the price, but still really good overall. I run a small electronic label and use these for producing as well as listening to submitted material and pre and post masters. They do the trick very well, especially when paiured with the 10" KRK sub. KRK 8's with no sub < KRK 5's WITH a sub EASILY

Support:
havent had to at all.

"Best Value for Pro Monitors. Period."

Quality:
These have a pro reputation and live up to it.

Value:
You cannot beat this price for a desktop studio monitor

Desirability:
They just look cool.

Sound:
Excellent frequency response

Ease of Use:
Plug em in and go

Overall:
These are not P/A speakers or speakers to play loud for a club etc. These are desktop monitoring speakers for professional use. If you mix / master your own music these would be ideal for a budget or small space.

Your home studio may not have all the bells and whistles of the big-boys, but that doesn't mean you're not striving for professional sound. KRK understands. Their Rokit-powered reference monitors are built with the same high-quality components as their flagship speakers, at a price to fit any studio budget. Their signature yellow woofers deliver tight, controlled bass response to bring depth and feel to your mixes.

All Rokit-powered monitors are bi-amplified, providing just the right wattage to each driver for clean, distortion-free audio. Magnetically shielded, plus XLR, TRS, and RCA inputs for easy integration into any system. Rounded cabinet edges and slotted bass ports help define the stereo image, putting precise mixing control in your hands. Work faster, get better results, and make your clients happy!
