Thanks! you just saved me a lot of $. 
mate of mine has them and hasn’t had problems.
What about these?
There great, but too small. Can’t get a good and thorough bass out of it.
I would recommend the Mackie MR-5 for better sound, or better yet, get MR8s.
(5" is better than the 4" of the PM0.4)
Price difference on KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 and Alis M1 520 in South Africa is R200 (about 20 euros - priced at about 270 euros) - so there isn’t much in it - so -
KRK’s or Alis’s?
[@ Tekki - love the Mackie’s, but out of my budget]
I ordered a pair of RP5s yesterday from decks.co.uk. Went into the store but they didn’t have them in stock, got to test them alongside the 6s though and they really hold their own. Amazing quality for 5 inch monitors at that price.
Tried out the VXT series while I was there and my god, they have punch. if anyone’s after a pair of VXT8s they have some B-grade ones in the sale with only cosmetic damage to the box (speakers pristine) for about £350 each.
They also had a pair of 15" PA cabs with broken tweeters for £30. I was seriously tempted to pick them up as a project but I knew I’d never get round to it!
anyone ever use the iKey monitors?
I was doing a test of monitors in a shop last week. Had a vs listening on:
KRK 5
KRK 6
KRK 8
M-Audio BX5a
M-Audio BX8a
Yamaha HS50M
Yamaha HS80M
The 8s are too large for my room and space, but I wanted to know what I will be missing if I have 5s.
The HS50M & HS80M have the best clarity and balance from all above. I’m going with the HS50M, although their low-end is poorer than all the others.
I can strongly suggest the HS50M for low budget monitors!
PROS: Very accurate, clear and detailed sound!
CONS: Weaker bass (need a sub if you want to hear the low spectrum) and nothing similar to the average club sound - high quality sound is not always better …
BX5a is a good budget alternative IMO.
Damn, over here I believe the KRK RP5s are even more expensive than the Mackie MR5s?
(Have a look at Thomann.de. 
)
I scored a brand new pair of MR5’s for $200 last month. They’re fantastic for my small space.
Excellent finding man! Congrats! (BTW how small’s your place, 3meters by 3meters by any chance?)
This is right but I have owned av40s and while the sound is decent they caused some fatigue specially with high freqs…
I now have mr8s which may be overkill but I can listen to them the whole day…that said who knows if thew bx5as are smooth?
I was in the same dilemma as you, budget of £200-250 and wanted some decent monitors.
Went into a few music shops, listened to a few and went for the KRK8’s They are more than adequate (loud, so loud!) for a bedroom DJ.. Even enough for a 50+ person house party.
They were a bit over budget but I went with the 8’s as I didn’t want to ‘miss out’ as somebody previously said in this thread. Glad I did tbh.
..just need a sub now 
Get the KRK 10s!
I love my KRK8’s and your right about them being loud, even enough to throw a little house party. They might actually be too loud for a small room though as I have to keep the volume pretty low not to blow my ears out lol
I agree with these guys, 8’s can give you some additional uses when needed but definitely on the edge of the budget or more… I would wait till I have enough for them
I just heard the Reloop ADM5s the other day, and they were awesome as dj booth (active) monitors.
(They were €129,- for a pair)
go big or go home… thats my motto. lol
i want a pair sooo bad. my JBL Creatures are good for being plugged into the laptop but no where near as nice of a sound as i would like now (picked them up a yr or so ago on sale — needed a set of computer speakers)
you gotta get the sub…adds so much to dance music!
Only if you set it correctly and your room allows it to “sound” properly.
