My mate loves then for mixing down his rock band but I cannot stand them for electronic music. It just never sounds right to my ears. I've had some Adam F7's a mate loaned me for the last month while he travelled and compared to most in the same price range they are gorgeous. I'm buying a pair of. Equator Audio D8's blind (no dealer in Australia) because I've heard amazing reviews despite their ugly looks from all ranges of music.

Never liked the old Rokit monitors...but in the end it's all a matter of taste. You can find different sounding monitors in the same price range but not immensely better. never heard the new series but at around 38hz, the KRK RP6 RoKit G3 demand room treatment to handle the low frequencies. My old Adam A7X were all over my (somewhat) treated room.

Why not go for a smaller (but better) pair of monitors? You can check the low frequencies (ex:kick&bass) with headphones

hmmm but small monitors are still good to listen and enjoy the bass and sub frequencies nicely, only demands another reference for mixing? i have a 100dollar zenheiser headhpones, they helped me alot so faar but not true reference i guess for bass....


anyway i dont need perfect reference, i want to have "boxes" to listen my stuff too, tired of headphones everytime...later years i can buy some perfect stuff....

Bigger monitors on an untreated room sound worst than smaller ones....either you use them for reference or just listening! After many years listening to music in my studio monitors i have to say that everytime i step into some hi fi system i'm blown away!!! I would not use monitors to listen to music.

We all have to tendency to get big sounding monitors in order to listen to the low frequencies but the truth is if you dont have your room/studio well treated (+ good placement of your setup) they will do more wrong than good in terms of "true perception" of your sound.

my 0,02 cents

Your room is not to small and for sure can handle a bigger set of monitors than the jbl but you must treat it....bass traps are a must, and the wall behind the monitor desk also. Search the internet (there´s plenty available) for room treatment iformation. You can do some improvements to your room that will make a real diference. Regarding your (future) monitors...go and listen before you buy...maybe you'll prefer the Rokits or maybe the Yamaha or maybe something else...you can be sure that both will allow you to produce music!
