excelent studio monitor
Full disclosure, the only music genre I work with is Rock, (hard, melodic, metal etc.) so I can only speak to that with respect to this product. With 35+ years studio experience both as an artist and engineer, I can say these are perfect for all phases of recording, mixing and mastering. The bass has just enough punch to give you a reference when mixing a kick drum and bass to provide adequate separation between the two resulting in a solid bottom end. The mid spectrum is well represented helping to keep that "boxed'" sound at a minimum. The highs are a little on the bright side for my taste but once I got used to what the finished product sounded like on different audio devices I was able to compensate when rolling off 10k during the mastering process. I have no problem with the sleep feature, they wake up pretty quick once they sense audio. The LED logo looks cool and lets me know they are powered on. Not sure why other reviews take a shot at KRK for this feature. I chose this speaker for a few reasons. 1. KRK has been in this space for a while giving studios an option other than the de facto yamaha 2. I didn't want all the other options like the analyzer. (unnecessary in my opinion) 3. Price. 20 years ago you pay $700 for a decent pair of monitors 4. Size. They are small and light for a powered monitor. In closing, these speakers do exactly what they were designed to do. Give you an audio reference of your recording, mixing or matering project. They are not going to throw big bass or blast the room. You should have another reference speaker system for that. It takes time and experience to know what a good mix sounds like in a controlled environment like a studio and how that translates once its out in the public being played on thousands of different systems. These speakers provide a great reference to accomplish that. ... show more

The big difference, is stepping up to the next level...
Most home studio monitors operate the same way as cheaper computer speakers. For example: One of the monitors is hollow feeling, because it houses speakers only, and the other monitor cabinet contains not only speakers, but the stereo amplifier, power connection, volume controls, and cable pigtail to the other speaker. These features are familiar to most. Thus, one speaker is heavier and the other is lightweight. These KRK CLASSIC 5 monitors are individually powered. They include a pretty nice set of adjustment knobs on the back. What about the volume control? There is none. You need to have an Audio input device, like the ones made by Focusrite, Native Instruments, or one of the many other manufacturers. Those units have separate volume controls for both monitors and headphones. If you are researching these monitors, you probably know this. Thus, knowing that these units are separate, individual, self powered monitors, can explain the quality and price differences. These are the beginning of the next level up, in monitors. The size and price goes up from here!! ... show more

Solid build, great sound.
Love these speakers/monitors. Nice flat neutral sound. You hear the music as the original producer intended it. The build quality is great and you can really push these hard without distortion. There are definitely better speakers on the market, but for the price you absolutely can’t go wrong with these. ... show more

The KRK 5" Classic Studio Monitors set the standard in their price range
English: The KRK 5" Classic Studio Monitors set the standard in their price range, making it challenging for other monitors to compete. Offering excellent quality at an affordable price, I always recommend monitors with at least a 5-inch size, as anything smaller tends to produce low sound and can lead to issues, especially in low frequencies. These monitors deliver a fantastic quality that I wholeheartedly endorse. Having a monitor with high volume capability is crucial to me since dynamic range plays a significant role in my mixing process. I aim to mix at -18dB volume, and with these monitors, I can hear my mixes loud and clear. I recommend avoiding adjustments to the controls behind the monitor, even if you know what you're doing. Nothing beats proper acoustic treatment, and using earphones for precision is advisable. Personally, I leave everything at default settings with the volume set at 0 dB. Español: Los Monitores de Estudio KRK 5" Classic establecen el estándar en su rango de precio, siendo difícil para otros monitores competir. Ofreciendo una calidad excelente a un precio asequible, siempre recomiendo monitores de al menos 5 pulgadas, ya que cualquier tamaño menor tiende a producir un sonido bajo y puede causar problemas, especialmente en las frecuencias bajas. Estos monitores ofrecen una calidad fantástica que recomiendo plenamente. Para mí, tener un monitor con una capacidad de volumen alto es crucial, ya que el rango dinámico desempeña un papel importante en mi proceso de mezcla. Mi objetivo es mezclar a un volumen de -18 dB, y con estos monitores, puedo escuchar mis mezclas fuertes y claras. Recomiendo no realizar ajustes en los controles detrás del monitor, incluso si sabes lo que estás haciendo. Nada sustituye un tratamiento acústico adecuado, y es aconsejable utilizar auriculares para mayor precisión. Personalmente, dejo todo en los ajustes predeterminados con el volumen configurado en 0 dB. ... show more

These sound very good
These speakers do not have a "flat" frequency response. Almost, but there's a 1-2db boost at 2.6K and again at 4K and above. It can easily be dealt with with an equalizer. That said, they are good enough to mix on if you adjust the mid-range and they do sound good. You'd have to spend twice as much to get something even a little better. ... show more

Nice speakers
I'm new to home studio type stuff. I didn't want to spend a lot as I am just a bedroom player. I have several amps, guitars, mics etc. I wanted a monitor(s) to supplement my headphones. 1. These say they are 5 inch but they are not small. Not ginormous either but sizable. 2. Solid and well built. 3. They allow me to hear things I didn't hear before. 4. Can also double as an amp. My guitar goes into a Boss ME80, out and into a Scarlett 2i2, out to the speakers. Gig ready? No, but for screwing around it's kinda cool. Overall a good deal for 100 bucks per. ... show more
