well there are some differences in size and weight, the woofer gets +1 inch in the RP6 G2 series, the G2's are magnetically shielded, the 150watt G5 is not. Last two have a bigger frequency range for a few freq's: the the 150watt G5 starts off with 53hz with and the RP 5 G2 and RP 6 G2 start off with 49hz. Minim differences imo, but slightly better upgraded I guess.
If the money doesn't matter I would go for the one with the bigger woofer and the higher freq range. But did you listen to them?

I recently heard from somebody about the krk's being not quite linear responsive over the whole freq spectrum, particularly in the low area. They seem to have extra sub to make it sound/feel better. So it's possible that you will be making tracks on these monitors which won't have the nice sub they had when you were in your room/studio. But it's just something I heard from a guy in a shop, and I don't know how true it is, but it might be worth finding out

im buying the krk's when i get paid end of month....they're fantastic speakers for the price and size....tested em out in a shop with some dnb, hip-hop and film music and they are suprisingly flat....lack in sub a little but the mids and highs are very consistant and they sound very bright for their size....krk are a very well established manufacturer of speaker too...and for the price im not what you could get thats better.....i wouldn't recommend as your main monitors....but as a reference i reckon they're a bargain......you would need sumin much more powerful as main monitors....like some mackie hr428's but these are well worth the cash imo

Thank you for your help!!! |
welcome!
On the link you gave they say this:
| quote: |
| deliver exceptionally flat, and nothing but an accurate response that you can trust |
and this is kind of what you're looking for
example of freq. response
try to find the most equal freq response, so that in all frequencies, from 20Hz till 20kHz (and maybe beyond but most of the people cannot hear beyond that, only feel) the speakers give you the same sound as the data in your computer or hardware has.
Infrasound and ultrasound (below your hearing limits and above)
Continuing from that point, I personnaly wouldn't trust a website like that unless I've heard the speakers and have seen a graph like twith the responsivity, to just see and hear what you're looking for. I would want to go to a shop with a person standing behind the desk, then jumping in front of it out of enthousiasm because he/she wants to help me find the best monitors, and then have a good chat about do's and dont's. And then listen to some stuff. And then, being lectured well and sure about your case, walk out of the shop with a new pair of monitors under my arm
