Hey,

I'm looking to buy some studio monitors and went to the shop thinking, ima buy these fine new KRK RP6 G3's......but then the guy said; but do you like the sound of these...and turned on the Adam F5's.....

They sounded really warm, full and bright all together comparing to the KRK's.

The Adam's are a bit pricier but nothing much...

What would you do and/or recommend me?

I'm hooking them up to my MPC Renaissance.

Thanks in advance,
Mitch.

Thanks for the replies so far!!!

I don't want to be a 'look i got me some G3 KRK's, just because KRK is the brand everybody knows'.....
I just want the best sound for my budget....

To give you the prices;

2x KRK RP6 G3 + Auralex MoPad = 369,- Euro
2x Adam F5 + Auralex MoPad = (after discussing) 400,- Euro

Cheers,
Mitch.

KRK are good monitors but the Rokits are perhaps a little too lively to be brilliantly accurate. I think a lot of people just buy them by default because you see them everywhere and the yellow looks cool.

I went with RCF Ayras after looking at Rokits - not as flat as Yamaha's, which can be a bit TOO flat, but a much higher-end sound than the Rokits and I think because they are not as well-known in the UK think they are being very keenly priced to get a foothold.

I would skip the Mopads. Yeah they Decouple, but there way better solutions.
