Open Box KRK Classic 5 G3 Powered Studio Monitor, Black and Silver Limited Edition Level 1

Description
The KRK Classic 5 G3 powered studio monitor delivers high-fidelity audio for recording, mixing and playback. KRK Systems designed these limited-edition silver and black monitors to provide an accurate full-range frequency response for passionate music creators. The bi-amped 5" woofer and 1" soft-dome tweeter can achieve sound pressure levels up to 106 dB, with a frequency range extending up to 35 kHz for vocal clarity and deep bass. KRK's proprietary waveguide technology ensures a wide sweet spot and detailed stereo imaging. Multiple inputs provide easy integration into any studio configuration. Backed by KRK's reputation for sonic excellence, the Classic 5 G3 is a compact yet mighty monitor ready to help you achieve your creative vision.
High-Definition Waveguide for Precise Imaging
KRK's engineered waveguide was designed to provide detailed high-frequency response over a wide listening area. Its precise dispersion helps create an expansive sweet spot, allowing you to move around the control room while maintaining an accurate stereo image. The waveguide reduces early reflections for a clear soundstage, helping you make mixing decisions with confidence.
Glass-Aramid Composite Woofer for Tight Bass
The Classic 5 G3 woofer utilizes a glass-Aramid composite material for a stiff, lightweight cone that reproduces deep bass with low distortion. Its long excursion allows it to move plenty of air for a full low end, while the tight suspension keeps bass response articulate. The front-firing bass port reduces boundary interference, allowing flexible positioning in your studio.
Soft-Dome Tweeter for Smooth Highs
The 1" soft-dome tweeter in the Classic 5 G3 provides detailed high-frequency response up to 35 kHz. Its broad dispersion helps create an expansive stereo image. The soft dome material reduces harshness for smooth, natural-sounding highs that won't fatigue your ears during long mixing sessions.
Bi-Amped Amplification for Headroom and Control
The Classic 5 G3 utilizes a bi-amped class A/B amplifier to separately power its woofer and tweeter. This provides more power and headroom for cleaner, lower-distortion audio. It also gives you independent level control over the low and high frequencies using the rear-panel controls. Dial in the perfect balance of bass and treble for your listening environment and mixing needs.

Fantastic Nearfield Listening Speakers
These are excellent near-field speakers. They are front ported, which is great to reduce boominess caused by speaker placement close to walls. The bass is fantastic for such a small speaker, they pack a great punch. The treble is likewise excellent, providing sharp detail and impressive imaging. Midrange is somewhat recessed, this is just the tuning of them, very fun and hifi - great for modern music genres like EDM. I am extremely satisfied with these, plus the silver and black color fits nicely (prefer this to the yellow cones) - especially if you use a Macbook. I did not expect them to sound so good as I have bought other speakers in the past which do not compare to these. I do not use them in a professional sense, just for enjoyment. Highly recommended if you enjoy listening to music!

Ok for the sale price but they need substantial EQ
These are well made and reasonably powerful. I like the connections and adjustments on the back and the front facing bass port. On the downside, the sound is lacking. If you look at it on an RTA you'll be surprised at the lacking midrange. Adjust the highs and lows on the back to your preferred curve and then use a GEQ from your software to finish. As long as you know this, it's a good value when it's on sale.

Great for home music production. Better results if 2 monitors are connected to your interface. Sound quality is clear, crisp and powerful. Besides music production, I like to use these monitors to play music, videos and movies off my computer. They look great on stands or simply on your desk

I have reached a point in my life where the big 35 pound plus speakers are not needed. I bought these to replace a set of Electro-Voice speakers used in my home studio. Works great at a fraction of the size.
I would buy this speaker again!

Perfect Little Studio Monitor

Coming from never using studio monitors these speakers are amazing. Wide open bandwidth. Perfect for watching television, movies, music. Not great for parties that require loud speaker systems. These are not PA speakers. They sound best without messing with the volume on the back.
