"Don't think twice about buying these! just get them!"

Feature:
Digital input would be nice, but really its no problem, im going straight from my PC to the monitors using XLR inputs, at the end of the day, they do what you want them to do, they produce crystal clean sound!

Quality:
aesthetically i think they look great, i didn't much the first time i saw them, but they've grown on me, you can tell they're built to LAST, very tough/sturdy box, good weight

Value:
they cost a little more in Australia (I'm Australian) opposed to most places around the world ($400) so for a pair ($800) but even still, they're definitely worth every cent, im not even going to say "for the price" because it has nothing to do with it, these KRK RP5's are very good monitors, yes great value

Desirability:
hehe the sound quality is to good to resist

Sound:
im very impressed! the sound these small speakers produce is amazing, sounds much 'bigger' than they physically are, nice punchy bass (great for metal) very crisp, no annoying resonance, mids are very clear and precise, high end is nice and bright, but not to the point where it's harsh, over all sound is brilliant.

Ease of Use:
very ease to setup, functions arent difficult, a beginner wouldn't struggle to get a nice sound from these, just as long as they' sensible with the low/high frequency settings.

Support:
well, i havent had to deal with 'KRK'

Overall:
i honestly dont think ill ever need another set of studio monitors, im recording in my room, they suit the room very well, i wouldnt want any bigger, these babies really crank, without losing clarity, they're really quite amazing, you will not be disappointed 10/10

News
As a recording engineer, you need to trust your instincts, your ears, and most of all, your reference monitors. It's like this: if the speakers that you're listening to your mix through aren't providing you with an accurate image of your sound, you won't know what you're listening to. Soon you'll start mistrusting yourself, so investing in pair of accurate monitors as a beginning recordist is especially important. Luckily, there's a name you can trust in home recording, and an active monitor that's been around the block more than a few times: the KRK RPG2 Rokit.

KRK has become one of the most trusted names in home recording, but inly after becoming a well-known success in professional circles. They've taken the engineering know-how that goes into their top-of-the-line Expose monitors and applied many techniques to the newly revamped Rokit Generation 2 line. And the beneficiary? You. KRK RP monitors are still as affordable and user-friendly as ever, and now they're even more accurate.

Easy Set-Up
With the home recording enthusiast in mind, KRK has designed the Rokit RP5G2 to make adding accurate monitoring to your setup as hassle-free as possible. Because the RP5G2 is active---a.k.a. self-powered--you won't have to worry about finding or hooking up a separate, matching power amp. The active Rokit's internal amplifier ensures maximum driver efficiency for tons of crystal-clear headroom and instant studio integration. With simple volume and high-frequency controls, the RP5G2s provide enough tone shaping to adjust your monitors to different rooms and projects without being overly complicated.

Smart Shape Is A Simple Solution For Small Spaces
If you're concerned that two controls aren't enough to combat bad room acoustics. . . don't be! KRK has incorporated several simple design elements to the RP5G2 cabinet to eliminate the most common monitor placement issues. For example, rear-firing bass ports, which typically extend a speaker's low-frequency range, tend to form "boundary-coupling" when situated near a wall, resulting in over-hyped bass response. This isn't a concern with the Generation 2 Rokits, as they sport front-firing ports. Another common problem which the cabinet-design solves is diffraction. Diffraction is inherent in traditional box-shaped monitors, but the KRK RP5 G2 incorporates the same curved edges as the higher-end KRK's to virtually eliminate diffraction issues. These two clever elements result in a monitor that's more accurate and worry-free.

Improved Drivers
That classic yellow glass aramid composite woofer is still there, but it and its companion neodymium tweeter have been re-voiced for even more neutral--and hence more accurate--performance. Improved also is the tweeter's wave-guide design. High-end diffusion is even more directional, and phase problems are cut down significantly. The result is a clearer impression of those ever-important transients that can otherwise wreck recorded instruments like cymbals and acoustic guitar, and can undesirably color the "air" in a vocal track. All in all, you simply get a clearer image of your mix with the new KRK Rokits.

While the Rokits are already an amazing value, we can sweeten the deal even more. Buy an RP5G2 from zZounds, and we'll trow in an Auralex MoPad, the monitor mount pad made by the room acoustics experts. The MoPad isolates your speakers from the stand, shelf, or desk on which they're seated, ensuring as true an aural image as possible, no matter what your work space is like.

The KRK Rokit RP5G2 is the next evolutionary step in a long line of successful and respected professional and home studio monitoring products. So if you're shopping for your first studio reference monitors, trust in the name that's been trusted for decades by engineers around the world, KRK.
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.

Features
Radically curved front plate design virtually eliminates diffraction distortion

Waveguide design provides amazing detail and imaging

Front-firing port provides low freq extension without boundary coupling

New speaker voicing for even more accurate frequency response

1-inch Neodymium soft dome tweeter

Glass Aramid Composite Cone Woofer

Even More Accurate Than Before
KRK engineers and listening panel took the Generation 2 Rokits’ speaker voicing to even more accurate levels. What you hear is what you are intended to hear, coloration is not part of the spec. This performance is brought to you by drivers that are custom-designed by KRK's world-class studio monitor engineering team, for clear, low-distortion performance.

The Recessed tweeters may look the same, but they don't perform the same. KRK has designed a superior tweeter wave guide for the Rokit that provides optimal high frequency pattern control and focuses the sound outward, away from the cabinet. More conventional designs direct sound along the plane of the cabinet where waveform interaction can cause phase problems and increased diffraction. KRK knows a properly engineered high frequency wave guide is a critical component to great sound, and one key to their award winning performance.
75 watts bi-amp, 5" woofer.
