Deze krk classic 5 studiomonitoren hebben mij veel plezier gebracht, maar na diverse upgrades is het tijd om ze een nieuw thuis te geven. De geluidskwaliteit is nog steeds goed. (Stroomkabels zitten e
KRK’s Classic 5 is a well-established compact nearfield: active, bi-amped, and flexible enough for home studios or desktop listening. At €180 for the pair, this is a strong deal—the supplied 90-listing sample puts the 25th percentile at €180, versus a €242 median and €293 upper quartile. In other words, it is right at the bargain boundary rather than merely fair.
The appeal is genuine: a 5-inch glass-aramid woofer, smooth soft-dome tweeter, front port, and XLR, TRS, and RCA inputs make them easy to integrate, while adjustable high and low frequencies help with room matching. They offer satisfying bass for their size and plenty of output, with the optional bass boost if you prefer a fuller presentation. Confirm that both monitors are included and working evenly, with power leads and no noisy controls; otherwise, at €180, this looks like a worthwhile buying opportunity.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
KRK Systems is an American studio-monitor brand founded in 1986 by film mix engineer Keith R. Klawitter; the name “KRK” comes from his initials. The company built its reputation in professional recording and post-production rather than domestic hi-fi, and it is now part of the Gibson family of brands based in Nashville, Tennessee.
KRK is best known for active studio monitors, subwoofers, and related monitoring speakers for producers, engineers, and content creators. Its product range also includes some headphones, but the brand is primarily associated with nearfield monitors such as the long-running ROKIT and CLASSIC lines, which emphasize clarity, detail, and translation in a mix room.
In market terms, KRK sits in the mid-tier to upper-mid-tier professional segment rather than the high-end audiophile or vintage-collector space. Its yellow-cone monitors are widely recognized in home studios and project studios, with a reputation for punchy, accessible, workhorse sound that has made the brand especially popular among music makers who want reliable reference speakers at a competitive price.
