Hi all fellow head-fier.
I'm looking for a pair of studio monitor for my desktop purely for all-arounder music listening, maybe for recording and mixing in the future. Hence where I am now (Hanoi), I can only find a reseller where they have the Monkey Banana Gibbon 5 in stock. The other option, KRK Rokit Rp5 G2, is not available there, unless I try to look elsewhere, which is not possible since monitor here is quite difficult to find. The price different is not much, btw
Anyway, the seller told me that the Gibbon 5 sound even better than the Rokit 5, so I should buy it. So anyone of you guys have any experience with the brand/product? Please share with me, I'm now craving for a pair of monitor but don't really want to take the risk of trying anything under the water.
