Basically I had the KRK V4 monitor speakers. It look rather small and it fit nicely on the table due to the size. And now not even one year my right monitor had dead. I tried changing the fuse, but I had replaced the fuse two times and it blew immediately when I on the power. I was rather pissed that it went dead suddenly. I bought at the price of SGD889. Whereas that time Alesis MKII Monitor One is SGD900 but had dropped the price almost the same as KRK.
However, do you all think that I should just change to Alesis?
The KRK V4 is small and even the driver also small. But the sound quality is good I will say but the LOs are rather flat and I cant hear much. But compared to Alesis is totally different.
But which would you all choose? KRK or Alesis for the better sound quality to produce the music?
I don't know about the KRK's but I have a pair of Alesis MKII's and they are pretty sweet. They are very raw sounding and give good frequency depths. This may sound lame but the reason i bought em are couse I saw a pair in the studio of Ian Van Dahl and decided if they use em them I guess they can't be that bad. Now I love em.

I see. I like Alesis also but just that time I wanted to buy its out of stock and it went out of stock damn fast! Then give me the last resort to get KRK but it produce flat sounding IMO. But the driver are just too small.
I reckon most of the TA guys using Alesis MK II right?
oh man, if I'm able to sell it off I gonna get Alesis instead this time!
Thanks Limit.
Any others comments from other? Need some feedback.

M1 Active Mk2s are the shit. You arent going to find better speakers until you get up to Mackie prices. Ive heard from some people that they lack low end...havent had too much of a problem with that as my low end inmy tracks souind fine and dandy....even with my production partner who uses HR824s. How about them apples.
M1's are the shit. Nuff said.

from what I've heard the krk ain't very good for electrtronic music but they rock for live styles like rock, pop and so on. Although this is just what I've heard from others, never got a chance to listen to them myself so you go ahead and do that and then you can come back and tell us if it's true or not
imo the M1 MK2 ain't as good as everyone says, they are way to bassy wich results in getting a way to undetailed mid and high, the bass drowns all the other frequencies a little bit
I suggest you go one step up and try to find a good price on a pair of Event 20/20 bas instead (check used ones if you can't afford new ones)

Im currently using KRK V4. Ya and V series are new series but now currently they are out of V series Second Batch. THe one IM holding the driver are small. SO the low are abit flat and overall I reckon I had listen for long and get used to it.
I compared to Alesis MK II with V4. And I found that the Low is really abit bassy. Its aint that as clear as KRK. For electronic production, I really no idea on which monitor shall I changed.

broken silence - Of coz HR824 but its way too high cost for me. over budget.

Vizay - As you mention of that, I agree. No wonder it sound rather nice on rocl/pop music. For electronic wise, the Low are kinda hard to listen but after holding for coming a year I get used to the sound. Was thinking shall I get V6 to get a bigger driver. But since you had mention of Event, which series of Event will you recommend of? I had no much idea of Event monitor.

well the 20/20 bas are used by many producers that are into electronic music and I'velistened to them myself, they are just pure quality
they are (in my opinion) very well balanced between the different frequencies (no boosts anywhere) and they are detailed as hell, it was like a punch in my face when I listened to them the first time coz I wasn't prepared to how detailed they are

vizay, would you recommend the 2020's over the hr824. I went down to a dealer and since they didn't have them in stock I wasn't able to test drive 'em

Those Mackies sound real good. Some people say the Truths sounds a little bit like them but they're wrong and exagerating. I have the Truths and they don't sound too good. The Mackies are transparent and true...get them if you can afford them. I don't get them for the simple fact that I barely touch my gear so they would be sitting here staring at me.
