KRK RP6 G2 monitors

I don't, but the best advice I've learned when buying professional gear is "I've never regretted buying the best I could afford"
 
When it comes to monitors its always best(if possible) to go test them out with a couple of your favorite CDs or stuff you have to hear what they sound like. If you have a local music shop I suggest trying that and then make your decision from there.

Does anyone have any experience with the KRK RP6 G2 monitors? If so, would you recomment the 5,6, or 8 for post audio?

I dont have much experience with many different monitors but i am listening to a current mixing project on some 5's gen 1 and i like mixing on them, KRK's rock.

Like said get the best you can afford but id say if your looking at KRK you will be happy in the end. With monitors its more or less about learning how to mix on each different speakers.

Good luck let us know what you decide.
 
I just bought these 2 months ago and love them. I have the RP6s. I was worried as the only experience I have with KRKs is at work on the other editors machine. He has old V4s and they sound like crap. These RP6 G2s have such a great sound to them for the price. I even put them up against my Genelec 1029a's and can't hear a huge difference. ( They were $600 each I believe a couple years ago) I think you will be very happy with them but I do agree if you can go somewhere to take a listen you should.
 
Check out JBL's LSR4300 series. They can self calibrate - read the room and adjust for imperfections with great results. I got the 8", and don't feel the need for a sub.
 
I have KRK V6's Series 2's with the KRK V12S sub and found them to be very clean on the mids and accurate on the highs and lows. I would recommend a 8 if you can afford it. But you will have to really hear it using your own cd to really notice the difference. It is best to make a cd just for that purpose. In addition, try to listen to them a low volume since these speakers are most likely only going to be 5-8 ft away from your editing station. Compare it to others also. A lot of people like Genelec's, Mackies and Jbl's also but work in your budget. You might also might look into getting an old pair of Yamaha NS-10s for reference purposes. I use my pair for really breaking down the mix, even though the sound is harsh to the ears, you can really hear any defects in your mix if you know what you are doing.
 
I decided to go for the krk 6's. Any suggestions on interfaces? I'm interested in the Ellisias Multimix and am considering plopping a couple more hundred on the Apogee Duet but I don''t know if its worth it?
 
Need more information in what your intentions are. You posted that you want to use it for post audio...but need to know what equipment you have and do you plan to use multichannel or just stereo. A list of your existing equipment and software and what is your plans on how to use them will help answer your question.
 
I've got KRK V-8's for near field, and V-88's for mid-field - haven't used the one's you'd suggested, but my experiences with mine are very positive.
