Yamaha MSP5 vs. KRK V4

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I am looking to spend about $500 on some active monitors. I currently
have the M-Audio BX5s and don't like them. Which of the above would be
the better option? Or do you have another suggestion at this price
point?

I pretty much agree with Scott here. There's a lot of personal
preference in speaker choice.

Having listened to the KRK V-4 I was fairly impressed with them. But
the lack of bass heft will likely disappoint most folks. With a sub it
could be a nice setup. See if there's a Yorkville dealer around and
check out the powered YSM speakers, not a bad choice at the price.

Always a good plan but from what I heard of the BX-5 monitors, a change
there couldn't hurt either.
