some gearheads say the second generation was ruined by the new unexperienced designers, yet I have g2 RP6s and they are doing the job.. give it an ear mate, thats gonna be your best bet

I will definitely check those out, do you recommend the 10S sub for that?

I have the first gen rokit 8's and while I like them they're nothing amazing. They're the best bang for not a lot of bucks monitors, that's why everyone seems to have a pair.

I'm using them without subs (low budget) but if you can afford, its always a nice addition for your monitors. I assume you're making bass music, so yeah.

1 more thing to keep in mind, before you buy anything make like 10 tunes with just headphones. If you still enjoy making them and you wanna upgrade, then buy some stuff. Never spend on gear before you actually need them, gear won't give you motivation (speaking of experience), it will give you more opportunities, but if you aren't even using your current ones, you prolly end up wasting your money. You can do a perfect mix with good headphones, and probably you will end up checking your final mix on them as well. I'm actually selling my monitors and soundcard now, cause I realised I don't even need them, and I'm going to travel a lot soon.

Cheers

Yes, I make bass music and I've got a pair of DT 770's but they can get pretty uncomfortable after a while + Got a pair of standard speakers ATM so a pair of monitors would be a big relief.

Thanks!
