What speakers are these? THREAD

What are they?

Amazon.com: KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 5In Powered Studio Monitor (Single Speaker): Musical Instruments

Not 100% positive, but 99.9999%

Or these, but guessing the first one

Looks like you are correct Cos. They seem to have nice bass too. Like the look of these too bad I don't record music.

 

[its phillip]

Plenty of people use speakers like that for normal/desktop listening. No recording required

Stop pushing me Phil.
These are very similar looking Behringer Truth B1030A:

Forget the speakers, I want those keyboards. Someone just give me that nordlead, I am sure that thing could make some pretty spectacular sounds.

 

[fuzz092888]

Yea, but the ones above have the distinctive slot port below the woofer. Supposed to be pretty darn good speakers.

I'd get'em if I were you

I do believe KRK is a Gibson brand (Gibson also has a large stake in Onkyo USA).

Personally, I like the JBL LSR a little better than the KRKs

I see some people on the board have these and love em. I like JBL myself. Why do the LSR have that you like more than the KRK SB?

I went through quite a bit of reading up, listening and asking around about powered monitors.

My short list: Airmotivs, JBL LSR, Event BAS20/20. I found that the JBLs seemed to fit my needs better and I think they are the best bang-for-the-buck out there, the prices have recently dropped to $150 for the 5" and $250 for the 8".

The KRKs are good, but I think the JBLs are just a step above. If you are concerned about budget or just want computer speakers, then the KRKs will fit the bill and save a few bucks. If you want the next step up or are serious about recording or mixing, then I would step up to the JBLs.

Now, the higher up KRK 10-3 might be worth considering. It is a 3-way monitor, don't see that too often, but those are BIG!

Don't forget, all those prices are per speaker for the rokits and the JBL's.

I knew that, but thanks for clarifying for me

The JBLs are objectively more accurate speakers.

 

[shadyJ]

Mackies are worth a look too. The MR series sound great, and the HR series are actually THX pm3 certified. They sound a lot like the JBLs to my ears. Adam monitors are terrific too, however they are quite a bit more expensive.

 

[afterlife2]

Would studio speakers function in a surround sound situation? Just curious. I don't need speakers(I says to myself).

 

[BoredSysAdmin]

yes, if you have avr with pre-outs or surround pre-pro (like emotiva UMC-200) and you'd have to manually adjust the levels on each one

Another vote for Jbl's LSR - I have heard several KRK's and they are too bass heavy for me. lsr is more neutral, yet very VERY powerful if needed. Pair of lsr's 2325 can do 112db at 2 meters.
Not too bad from 5" woofer bookshelf.

 

[afterlife2]

Anybody know the TT, LP, headphones or receiver?

 

[fuzz092888]

Looks like Thorens TT, dunno about the others.

 

[Lulimet]

Thorens TT, Parasound receiver?

 

[Cos]

No clue on the receiver, definitly not Parasound...they are big on putting there logo in huge letters back in the day.
