The KRK rokit line has a pretty heavy bass response and is a little resonant so if you ONLY mix on those, your mixes might come out a little thin
I myself am gonna buy a pair of Yamaha hs7's, check them out of you haven't

What about Mackie's CR4
I'm crafting every day new stuff,i mix them on my logitech speakers and these stanton headphones.
the results sound very nice on these speakers but i'm afraid the won't sound good on monitors,or better speakers at least.

"The other day I received an email from TRR reader, Sam. He asked if mixing on studio monitors was pointless, seeing as how most people aren’t ever going to listen to your mixes on nice studio monitors, but rather consumer headphones, laptop speakers, care stereos, and mobile phones. Shouldn’t we just mix for the worst case or lowest common denominator? In essence, here’s what I replied back and said."

Haven't used them so I can't comment. I like the HS-7's because they have a pretty flat response over the whole freq spectrum. The HS-5's are cheaper but have a smaller woofer so I'm not sure I'd get a totally accurate representation of the low freqs.
Your best bet would be to demo a bunch of monitors at a place like guitar center where they have a lot of them set up. Play some music from your phone or iPod, something you're very familiar with to get a feel of how they sound.
Also you should get a good set of headphones, unless your room is treated to perfectly suit your setup you will hear reflections and weird things that aren't actually in your mix. Headphones can help and also serve as a good way to cross reference.

Is the pic eigenmode related?
>>60897740
No.

I think i'll go with the KRK RP4 G3,they're most used by many,and lots of people buying them constantly.
About that test in a guitar center,would be good if there was one where i live ( :( ) .

Honestly you'll be fine as long as you learn the strong and weak points of your setup and are able to work towards or around them.
Should def get a set of headphones though to reference your mixed if your room isn't treated!

For me Mackie MR5 Mk3 are pretty good. Nice sound between high and low frequencies.
