I've just reasently heard about the new KRK KrokII and RokitII. I've listen to the "old" Rokit and my personal opinion is that they had a to loud bass, allthough it was kind of impressing that a speaker of that size could reproduce so much bass. In this specific music store they also had a pair of used KRK 6000, they appeared to have a much more detailed middrange, I got the impression that guitars and other middrange instruments poped out in the mix, atleast compared to the "old" Rokit.
I reasently bought the January issue of Homerecording magazine and in their "AES Report" they had a picture of the new KrokII and RokitII monitors along with a info text about them:

KRK Systems has introduced the KRok II, featuring an 8" woofer and 1" silk dome tweeter, standard magnetic shilding, 7/8" MDF construction, and double-layer anodized aluminium cones. Carefully molded woofer beauty rings improve midrange frequencies, while advanced dual-port tube designs improve airflow for solid bass response.

"Improved middrange frequencies", maybe they don't sound as scooped out as the old ones, for 243€ each they seems like nice monitors compared to the KRK 6k price at 546€ each.
One other thing, if you have a pair of monitor that reproduce more middrange frequencies would you get ear fatigue after using them a while, I've heard this is the case with the NS-10.

So, is there anybody here who have any more specific info about these new KRK monitors, or even better, someone who have listen to them and can make a relative comparsions to other monitors, maybe the KRK 6000.
One strange thing is that KRK dosn't post them on their website or maybe they're just slow with updating it.
