I purchased these for my keyboard workstation (Roland FA). I hooked Airplay up to them using an apple router 3.5mm stereo out to the keyboard input, which helped me avoid an external mixer.
I first tried the RP7s because I figured bigger was better I and I got them for an excellent price - similar to the RP5's actually. The RP7s are indeed very powerful speakers, and have a huge presence in a small room. The problem was that they seemingly enveloped you in a cloud of hiss/white noise that I found distracting when playing the keyboard at low volumes.
Before ordering the RP5s, I called KRK to ask if the 5's were quieter. Two separate people told me they were not, that all of the speakers had basically the same amount of background noise because they are active. But I decided to try the 5's anyways because several reviews claimed that indeed they are quieter.
And comparing the RP5 and RP7s, I can say this:
1. RP5's are about 50-75% quieter, and I cannot hear the "hiss"/white noise over the normal background noise in the room. The RP7 background hiss was definitely noticeable and I found it distracting when playing music.
2. The RP5 probably has better soundstage and clarity when sitting closer than 4 ft. I found them clearer at that distance. I am guessing the RP5's are designed for a shorter listening distance than the 7's, even though KRK's literature does not explicitly state this.
3. The RP7s' are noticeably more powerful with huge low end extension and headroom, but they were overkill for my room. I can see why they would be great for mixing in a larger room with dynamic music.
In summary, this is an example where the bigger RP7s did not mean better. To be clear, these sound better than my Monitor Audio tower speakers. They are so fun to listen to and I find the price point amazing for the performance that you get. It's a bit puzzling that they don't throw some RCA inputs or BT capabilities (or even Airplay 2) to compete with 500-1k audiophile speakers.

KRK RP5G4
2-Way Active Studio Monitor Speaker, Black
KRK's Rokit Generation 4 utilizes matching drivers made with Kevlar to ensure the same sonic integrity across all frequencies and minimizes listening fatigue. DSP-driven Room Tuning with 25 visual Graphic EQ settings helps minimize and correct problems in your acoustic environment. Works with the KRK App to set up your room for better monitoring and faster mixing. The custom-designed efficient Class D power amplifier drives the speakers evenly at reduced operating temperatures and improves audio integrity. The built-in Brick Wall Limiter automatically engages at maximum amp-level to maintain a balanced sound, protect the system, and offer better and wider dynamics. It features a low resonance enclosure for minimal distortion and colorization. A high density Iso-foam pad decouples the speaker from the surface to minimize vibration transmission for improved clarity.
Other Features:
- An LCD screen to visualize the EQ settings
- Front-firing port extends accurate and tight bass reproduction on the low-end frequencies
- Designed to ensure laminar airflow for reduced port turbulence and low-frequency transient response
- Engineered with high-quality materials that work perfectly with the advanced Aramid Fiber drivers
Active Room Tuning
One of the best features of the Rokit G4 line of studio monitors is the option for DSP-driven Active Room Tuning. A first in its class, the Rokit G4 line offers an LCD graphic display for visualizing equalization settings, and Rokit G4 monitors come standard with 25 different onboard EQ settings to help minimize and correct problems in many acoustic environments.
The Rokit G4 line takes acoustic control one step further when you connect your monitor to the KRK app, available for both iOS and Android. With the app, you can accurately calibrate EQ settings to assist with proper speaker placement and level matching through use of the real-time Room Acoustic Analyzer. In just a few simple steps, you can determine the best settings for your monitor and really get the most out of your audio.

ABOVE EXPECTATIONS
Hands down the best monitors I’ve ever owned these beauties went above and beyond all my expectations, they allowed me to hear my mixes and fix my vocals in a way I was not previously able to do! I’m also able to enjoy old music better then ever, it’s like listening to the songs for the very first time all over again. I recommend these to anyone in the market for some new monitors! Thank you for allowing me to experience sound in a way I never knew possible rokit!SteelcityethixABOVE EXPECTATIONS
