Anyone who owns the 5's...do you need a subwoofer for them?? Can you get by without one for a while?

I think they'd be fine for a while, it's not a total loss of bass. I plan on using mine for quite some time. But then again, I'm a noob.

At first I bought the 2 RP8's, but later switched to 2 RP5's with the RP10 sub. Coulden't be happier

Yeah that's what i'll probably do. I think the RP8s might be too big and loud for near fields, I don't want to blow my ear drums out!

how does this setup compare to two rp8's? why does it make you happier? thanks

Pair of Mackie HR824. bastards made me realise how crappy mp3s sound which made me buy more records...

hr824's are good im saving for a pair of hr626's or some event monitors.

Well finally got the KRK RP8s. I was debating between the RP5 and the RP8 and I decided I wanted the RP8s because they are louder and I wanted something to replace my PAs. I just need some speaker stands now to place them on....anyone know any decent..sturdy stands??

I just picked up a set of RP8s today. Definately need some stands.

Peeked around online and quickly found tripod stands and adaptors for speakers that dont already have the 1-3/8" hole. I was thinking about cutting some pieces of 1" wood and attaching the adaptor to it, so I dont have to screw anything into the RP8. Bam, it will swivel as well.

Oh btw, thanks all for the suggestion of the KRK monitors. Affordable, attractive, (although a little large) and the sound. A highly recommended buy.

The is what I have and I'll have to say I love them. I also have a 15 inch Mackie sub that goes with them.

All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be.

You also have to play high quality recordings of live acoustic instuments to really appreciate these monitors. Although, some people who are not used to highly detailed highs often say that these monitors sound bad. But what they are hearing is badly mastered recording, not the speakers. Sometimes i want to punch some of the EDM producers for writing a great track, but not doing a good job at mastering.
