KRK Rokit 6's Or Rokit 5's Both G2

[dxavier]

Although I am not a fan of either monitor, I would go for the RP6's in this case as the RP5's are lacking more low end.

At the end of the day, I believe your remit here is to make music, not find a set of mastering quality monitors, so the RP6's will be fine.

Sound on Sound (a magazine I respect) did not hate them either, although, you can never trust mag reviews fully!!

KRK RP6 G2

[portishead]

I have a pair of the 5's (gen 1), and I thought the midrange was a bit better than the 6's. They are lacking in the low end but not enough to sacrifice the difference (4hz lower on the 6's).

With my mixes I thought if I could get the enough bass out of the RP5's to balance the mix I was doing okay, and that's where the advantage was for them for me.

I did add an RP10s sub for more bass but I find myself disconnecting it while tweaking the low (not sub low) end of a mix.

Just my $0.02, YMMV.
