I owned two sets of the KRK RP5 G1 series before. I sold my first set when i was about to go on a performance tour to another country and bought a same set after a couple of months there.
I remember using old passive studio monitors for a 20 song project. It was a full production of each song and deadline was short. Upon finishing the first two tracks, I submitted it to the client and on the spot they were rejected due to sound quality. I did another mix and again it did not pass. They waited for my third mix but I knew then that if that did not pass the qualities they're after, I will lose the contract. I called friends and did research and became interested with the KRKs, after all, Sony studios uses them. That same day my second mix was rejected, I got me a pair of KRK RP5s and worked on one song. It was heaven at first try as I could hear even the slightest nuisance and knew instantly what was wrong with my first mixes. The sound was clear, transparent without any additional colors which could interfere with my judgement. I've found "my studio monitor" at last!
The KRK RP5s worked well with most of my projects except for those which required mixing in the much lower frequencies like for RnB, Hip Hop and EDM genres, so I had to find another alternative to mix them; the KRK RP8s. Luckily, I had access to a friend's studio who had the KRK RP8 so I was not obliged to buy a set. Like the KRK RP5, the RP8 worked liked a charm.
To cut this short, on my opinion, I think KRK is at par with other studio monitors out there ten times its price. Now, I can't imagine working without them and they're a big factor why most of my mixes get approved even for the first they're heard.

Proprietary speaker combination delivers quality sound you can trust
The most instantly recognizable thing about KRK monitors are those telltale yellow speakers. But there's far more to those speaker cones than their color. A combination of Kevlar and aramid fibers make the Rokit 8 G3 an incredible performer, delivering clear mids and tight bass. Add to that a soft-dome tweeter, and you'll get pristine highs extending all the way to 30kHz from your KRK Rokit 8 monitors.
High-performance custom amplifier provides essential tone control
One of the coolest upgrades KRK gave their Rokit 8 G3 studio monitors was a redesigned amplifier and active electronics system. For starters, this Class A/B amplifier delivers massive headroom and low distortion, keeping your audio clean and dropping your noise floor. In addition to that, Rokit 8s give you both high- and low-frequency controls, so you can tune your monitors to meet your environment.
Unique cabinet design ensures sonic accuracy and pristine stereo imaging
KRK's Rokit 8 G3, like the rest of the third-generation Rokit studio monitors, gains a lot from its unique speaker cabinet design. On the outside, the Rokit 8's radiused edges and proprietary waveguide provide a dramatically improved stereo image compared to standard square-edged cabinets. Internally, KRK designed the Rokit 8 to eliminate standing waves and other resonance issues, leaving you with pure, unadulterated sound.
