my biggest issue with rokkit 5s is the bass. You can turn it down in the back I think but it booms a little in the bottom which causes tinny mixes. They are good for the money but you need to have your A/D really working in the MSB region of dynamic range because things get more buried into RP-5s than my Paradigms.
And I'm not sure if it was upwards masking from the boomy bottom or if the speaker just wasn't detailed enough but it's a touch muffled sounding. That very very upper end (the stuff that turns into crackles on 128mp3s) is really dull and winds up creating harsh mixes because you compensate.
Though if these are your first set of monitors, they're fantastic for learning HOW to mix. I probably wouldn't try to do a commercial release on them because of the bass issues but if you checked enough systems, you'd have a good feel.
Just learn them aurally. Just listen to your 100 favorite CDs on it over and over and you'll notice common trends as to what's loud and not on these monitors.
