KRKs are fine for what you are doing Allen.
If anyone says otherwise they are being ridiculous.
Just use a pair of decent stereo speakers and a hi-fi until you can get some KRKs. Once you have them, set your system up so that you can switch between the regular speakers and the KRKs to see how the mix sounds over both sets of speakers. This setup will last you for a long time before youll need an upgrade that will be worth the money. Then youll probably want some higher end Tannoy reveals or whatever.
The most important first step of getting a good mix is YOU and your understanding of how your speakers/listening environment can be misleading. You will never have perfect gear and never have perfect environment. So the faster you can get used to trusting your ears the better.
Something worth noting about equipment in general, people will be fast to tell you that this sucks or that sucks. And they can be right or horribly wrong. Peoples opinions can come from fact or totally biased lies. Or even facts that are skewed (like if someone bought a mic that is great, but theirs was bad due to bad quality control so they assume that that brand sucks across the board). So your best bet is to just get equipment that is decent, and do your best to get the most amazing results you can out of it. You gotta remember, there is no glory in using under-rated equipment... until you do great things with it and then everyone is impressed. Its the "doing great things with it" that takes the real concentration and effort. Spending a ton of money on stuff just because it has public reputation as being "the best" takes no effort at all. So be proud of what you are using and make it work for you at all costs. I think almost everyone would be surprised at how good things can sound even with minimal semi-pro equipment.
