KRK's are actually very good entry level monitors! :) There is a reason for it.. they may be defected or they are not connected properly.. but comments like this make no sense at all!
They make sense when they are coming from personal experience. I had one defective one when i first bought them - there was a mains hum coming from the transformer. I RMA'd it, and got a replacement.

The replacement's gain settings don't match the other speaker that i kept, as i said. And to top that, they both have an audible hiss - even when nothing is plugged in to them. Sure, they're probably ok for the price. But as i said i wish i'd spent more and got a better quality speaker. Home this makes sense to you.

Same price range - Yamaha HS-80M , I sold my rokit 8 g2s and got some yammies a while back. It's obviously down to the user and it doesn't matter on price or anything it's what your comfortable using on, but in my user experience of the two, the yamahas shit all over the krk in every aspect.
