KRK V series V4's vs. V6's v. V8's + or - Sub ?

[Soulgolem]

Hi, been reading a lot about the KRK V series monitors. They seem to be a great deal for the money, but I just can't figure out which pair would be best for my needs, V4's, V6's or V8's ...

I plan on recording rock pop music with layers of acoustic stringed instruments, electric guitars and basses, synths and pianos and drums and percussion (with drum machine initially).

Would I need a subwoofer with that ? Or can bass be felt enough through those to translate nicely to different sound systems ?

Since our music covers wide ranges of styles from techno-ish to ambiant rock to totally pop, I thought the middle choice (V6) would be the best bet, but i'd like to hear opinions about them.

Thanks,
Francis.

I run the KRK 8's.......there are a decent monitor with good imaging, tight bass, and "reasonably" smooth highs.....Are they Accurate??? probably as good as you're gonna get for $500 pwrd mons.......Once I accoustically treated my room they sounded better.......

I would get the V8's, but If you are really looking for low end response you will most likely need a sub anyway.
