Agreed, any set of speakers will do for djing if you want to save yourself some money.
OP has got a budget and wants something nice sounding that he can do a bit of producing on and mix on.
I agree about not getting anything that makes something sound better than it is. Same as a big glossy mac monitor if you do graphics, imo. A matt screen is better. But by the same token i spend a lot of time on my computer and is nice for the stuff I consume (Movies, Photos, etc) to look wicked.
re producing, if your really serious about the track you've made, take it into the studio and have a proper engineer tweak it for half a day as well as taking it in for a mastering too.
If KRK were as rubbish as you say they would have fallen by the way side long time ago.
I looked into loads and for a compact monitor the
VXT4 had really good reviews.
They're much better than the KRK
Rokits which are more entry level.
My mate is one half of AI, the drum and bass producers. They've released loads, signed to V recordings, had tunes played on BBC Radio 1, etc
He recommended them to me.
In fact i'm having a google now and am struggling to find a bad word to say about the VXT series.
Bottom line is, opinions on studio monitors are thorny and everyone has their own point of view.
I got the VXT4s and am happy with em. Just passing that info on to the OP who I think wants monitors for the same reason I do... they sound good for a bit of producing and djing.
Peace out
