This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Just wondering if anyone has this? is it good for monitoring music with my WeGo/VDJ!? i live in townhouse so i don't want loud bass speakers but i want to be able to hear the low/mid very clear.

consider YAMAHA HS50M as well
 
I have a pair of Rokit 5s, and a 10S sub.

KRK are very well regarded speakers and I don't think you'll be disappointed by them.
 
I think you need a couple of Virtual DJ stickers to really make that thing look nice... ;^)
 
They gave me such a huge bundle of stickers at BPM that I'm having trouble finding places to stick 'em!
 
slap one on the mouth of anyone with a bad request .......

doubles for duct tape.....
 
Hey I got the same setup but more stickers....
 
update:





i went with the Rokit 5", glad i got it. music quality is much better than my logitech x-530. the bass is still loud so i used -2db on it. however i have a little ground loop problem so i will need to pick up a rca ground loop isolator tomorrow. i am still getting usb ground loop issue as well so i got a usb isolator but it will take a while to be delivered to my door :(

lol where can i get some virtualdj stickers

Probably because you have them backed up to the wall. Try moving them forward more.

You could also put some damping material underneath them to isolate them from the desk.
 
 
LOL!

Did it make any difference to the sound?
 
well it's up to my ears level now so i can hear the music better but i don't know if the vibration still transfers onto my desk
 
Got (2) 5\'s and 10 sub as well,love it.
 
well i sucked it up and got the mopads as well, decent sound and bass. no need for sub yet.
 
Rokits are Standard equipment in any recording studio setup I've seen recently, pro or hobbyist.....VERY highly regarded as well as priced the same, high....lol
 
if you shop around you can get them at a good price. i got a pair at GC after they matched an online deal. $200 for a pair of rokit 5s.
 
 
Have you given them a makeover?
 
nope krk makes them in different colors on occasion, ive seen them in red, blue,yellow and white so far.
 
my set up with the KRK
