krk vs ns-10

[skiroy]

I will asp8 as my mains and want a second for reference. I was going to get ns10s but I read that people have been using krks for this. But not the new ones the 1 series. I dont have the ones with the yellow woofers so are mines 1 series and if so what does anyone know about using these as decent reference speakers as how others would use the ns 10s?

[A LaMere]

they're two completely different speakers in my opinion... one will give you the cleaner, modern reference (KRK) and the others will give you the classic, mid-heavy, naked sound of the NS10's.

Impossible to say which you are in need of... I prefer Ns10's as they give me what I need to hear and I get the best results with them personally...
Ideally, it'd be nice to have a more clean pair like the KRK's AND a pair of Ns10's in order to cross reference... that's my opinion anyways.

The two are a compliment to each other, but are COMPLETELY different from one another...
