I have been running Alesis Monitor Ones (+RA100!) forever..
>Would it be a mistake to update with KRKs for example?
>Or shouldn't I bother?
KRK RP6 Rokit (749$AU)
or the new:
KRK RP6 G2 Rokit (799$AU)
Anyone have a listen with the G2?
I would love a pair of Adams but I just cant afford it. The Budget is less than 1k

I should of said - cant afford Adam A7s - The A5 is a little too small.

i have Fostex PM1 mk2, very good very precise and very FLAT.
My roommate has KRK rokit 6, which are far less precise but warmer.
I paid around 500 euros |

Do you feel you NEED an upgrade ?
Do you feel restricted by your speakers ?
If not, save your money for really good ones one day like Elad said. The KRK (imo) will not be such a big upgrade to your sound. Maybe do some acoustics in your room, that'll make a difference.

Fostex PM1 mk2 | love the minimal look to. A contender indeed

Not worth selling the M1s - Ill most likely keep them.

- Been so long.. thought it time for an upgrade; the g2 just recently caught my attention - thinking the new technology might have improved over my M1s
- RA100 Amp is old and now justifiably noisy after years of use (I release I could just get a new amp)
- Moving to a smaller place; hence getting rid of the amp would be one less thing to carry and worry about/ just my thoughts

Yeah I side with Elad and say save up and get better monitors. It's a bit more money but a very great investment into your music and for a long time too

well if not selling for sure , id do acoustic room with the money.. 500$ is planty for that..
i think is that the krk are just diffrent not really better , therefor might have little benefit out of it but wouldnt say real upgrade.
fostex btw will be upgrade little bit imo.. they are flat more then most 'budget' monitors. |

Yes, if you have no acoustic treatment, do not hesitate & spend the money on it!
If your room is treated, I suggest saving the money & wait until you can buy better monitors. Hold out as long as you can and make the big leap, rather than making lots of small ones.
Keep The Faith,
