Worth twice as much! (But don't tell KRK that)

These are by FAR the BEST monitors in the price range and beat many that cost twice and three times as much. The sound is stunning, crystal clear and the design etc. are GREAT! I've had mine for about four years. I'm tempted to upgrade to the G2's but I really love these monitors. I baby them too. A word of advice, KEEP THE BOX/PACKING MATERIAL IN CASE YOU HAVE TO MOVE THEM. You'll fall in love with these and baby them if you take pride in your equipment.

The design is solid and not cheap by any means. The Sub is solid too! No complaints what so ever.

I use these when I make mix tapes, beats using reason, or connected to a digital piano. The frequency response is excellent. There is no interference detected and they give a good accurate sound. Keep in mind that most of what I do is digital and that a good way to judge studio monitors is with acoustic recordings. Though the generation 2 versions are probably better.

Then look no further, i bought these for my stand alone recording unit {tascam dp-02} I'm no pro at mixing but I am very pleased with what i have done with these. But know this, if your tight on space , these babies are big. Built very solid about 30lbs a piece. If mine were to go out tommorow i would buy them again.

True Sound

I did a lot of research prior to buying the Rokit 8 monitors, and I'm happy I spent a little extra for these great speakers. The sound is true at any volume level I try to use. They can put out plenty of volume for a small studio. I couldn't be happier!

Fair to good

Fairly balanced response at the extremes, but with a hump in the midrange. There's clearly a resonance that hasn't been tamed in this design that becomes apparent in the mid octaves of female vocals. Playing an instrument such a guitar through them also reveals this resonance. Maybe I received a defective pair. I've examined the internals, and the amp uses an EI transformer instead of the more common and higher quality toroid, and a minimal buffer of capacitance for low frequency extension unfortunately. I simply think they could have done better for the price. I'll check out the Events and MAudios...
