I purchased a pair of KRK RP6 studio monitors a couple months ago, 4 months ago to be exact. About two weeks ago one of the monitors began to make hissing and crackling noises. I check the cables, I even turned it on with no input cable and at different power outlets. Same thing. So I call up KRK and they tell me that it needs repair but they are moving so I have to ship it to one of their repair facility, their only repair facility which is in California.
So I call up the place in California and the guy asks me what brand speaker, I say KRK and he guesses "RP6", and he was right. So he goes on to tell me that they have a lot of RP6 monitors in their repair facility and they have been waiting for parts from KRK for over two months. He also told me they have a lot of KRK speakers coming in all the time for repair for rattling noises.
So these speakers sure are a bargain, and they sound great, but buyer beware: they are made in China and probably have shoddy parts / construction. I have read numerous posts online about similar problems.
Now I have to send in the speaker (I have to pay for shipping) and I'm going to have to wait for who knows how long to get it fixed. The guy said maybe two weeks because the shipment of parts might finally come on Tuesday.
I really hate this crap made in China, first I buy Behringer B2031A speakers and one craps out after a year. Then I buy these and one craps out after 4 months.
