KRK Studio Monitors for home use behind a large desktop (head level, 3 or 4
feet distant), Powered sub below nearly center with a second Sub off to the
left.



I have a pair of KRK RoKits (6" driver, 1" dome) that sound really nice. I
drive them with a hi-current MOSFET amp sufficiently.



I also have pairs of M-Audio BX8's (8" driver, 1.5" dome, bi-amp powered) as
well as an older set of NHT Zeros (passive). I have a 5.1 surround system
powered by 4 BX8's, 2 BX5's and 2 SP5 subs in my living room. I found the
BX8's to be nice but not nearly as good as the MOSFET amp/RoKits from KRK.



I have an opportunity to obtain some KRK speakers. The M7000B's (8" driver,
1" inverted dome, passive) speakers (street price about $1100/pair) a set of
V8's (8" driver, 1.5" dome, bi-amp powered - street price about $1000/pair)
and/or ST-8 (8" driver, 1" dome, passive - street price about $300/pair)
matched up with their best S12 powered subwoofer (street for about $1000).



I have searched the web high and low and can not find much on them and
certainly not the M7000 which appear to be very good.



I have other speakers as well, my favorite are a set of Energy Pro22's from
about 15 years ago, paid about $1100 for them back then. All in all my
system in my home office is my primary listening place, so its become at
least. I use an M-Audio Revolution sound card and play (collect) high
quality MP3's that are surprisingly great sounding. I also have CD,
Cassette, LP, DAT and VHS sources in the rack (courtesy of Winsted) but I
currently archive more then 10,000 tracks.



I have found that these Near Field type monitors can be quite amazing and
forgiving in placement on a media desk. Unfortunately this has become the
primary listening area. I find them to be extremely flat and very accurate,
much like my headphones (HD-600's) and very revealing. I've grown accustomed
to the sound and superior imaging in a near field. I also believe this old
MOSFET amp adds warmth and flavor to the digital sound of the MP3's on
nearfields.



I'm interested in peoples experiences with Hi-Fi on the desktop or with Near
Field Speakers.
