I trying to decide on upgrading my rokit rp5's. I was listening to my friends dynaudio bm5a's and they are amazing. So I took a trip to guitar center and AB'ed a bunch of different monitors in my price range. Well the dynaudio's are clearly out of my budget. But what I can afford is a used pair of V6's with the black cone or a new set of Yamaha HS50's. When AB'ing all these monitors, the rocket 5's sounded like they had a blanket over them. The highend was muffled, even adjusting the switch in the back only made a slight difference. HS50's kinda was the closest thing to the dynaudios that I could afford. Obvious there is a lack of bass definition because of the woofer size, but midrange was comparative and also the high end was smooth. I checked out the BX5a's by m-audio. They are just to harsh of a speaker.
Question
Should I keep the rp5's - I've had them for a year. Upgrade to the HS50's or get a used pair of KRK V6's.
