Great studio monitor for the money, could do with a sub though!

Good monitors for the price
These are a good affordable option for studio monitors. They are not completely flat and often feel inadequate for production without a proper subwoofer, but overall they are a solid monitor that is hard to beat at the price point. Bonus: they sound pretty good for just listening to music and get a lot of use in that regard.

Really awesome so far; mid frequencies seem to be attenuated a bit but I could get used to it.
Bought these just today after listening to a few models at Guitar Center. After listening to several competing models like JBLs, KRKs, and possibly M-Audios, I kept coming back to the KRK Rokit 6s (over the 5s, which had poor bass response and the 8s, which were too big/expensive at the time being). So far, I'm really happy with these. They provide a pretty good picture of my music. However, the frequency response seems to have some dips around the 400-500 Hz area. After getting used to hearing other songs on them, though, that shouldn't be much of a problem.

In My little wanta be studio I have these ( believed to be Old JBL's, pawn shop specials ) that do basicly the same thing. After a few months, to My surprize, when I go to layering Guitar licks, it's like those holes get smoothed right over. On playback I can't believe what I just did. It's like They were designed to do just that. Go Figure. Congrats on Your new Monitors. Rock On Brother ~Pepper~

EDIT: Part of the issue is probably a) having an untreated room and b) having them on a pretty quiet volume. For the true speaker effect, it's got to be loud!


Mind Blowing
So clear and powerful. Was afraid the 6 would not be enough, woah surprise!


yuck
sold them. they are overrated shite, things this entry level shouldn't exist. gets tiring hearing the tin eared whove never heard anything more impressive than their cousins car stereo praise them for being less than totally awful

Description
KRK has redesigned its wildly popular Rokit series of studio monitors, providing a broader frequency response, a new cabinet design, an adjustment in power for better balance, and several other enhancements. All three models feature a front-firing port that provides low frequency extension without boundary coupling, an improved speaker voicing for even more accurate frequency response, a 1" silk dome tweeter, and an Aramid glass composite woofer. They are lightweight, low profile and are offered at a price that makes professional-level monitoring affordable for even the most humble studios.
Other monitors have ports on the back of the cabinet. These rear-firing ports tend to create bass coupling with walls and corners amplifying low frequency information which will color your mix. The KRK Generation 3 Rokit studio monitor's design includes front-firing ports, which are just the right shape and taper to reduce port turbulence. You'll appreciate the clean and accurate bass performance this approach delivers, even at high SPL's.
A great-sounding monitor doesn't stop with a great cabinet and custom drivers. KRKs true bi-amplified amplifier system provides discrete low-distortion power for each driver. While the active crossover systems provide smooth and accurate frequency response, and again, accurate diffraction control.

Amazing Monitors
Those monitors are truly amazing and well worth the money. They have a very clear sound, flat enough for mixing/mastering while remaining very enjoyable to listen to. The low-ends are really nice, almost enough without a sub in my opinion, although the 8" version would be perfect for that use.
