Awesome, Really nicely balanced speaker, reminded me of the Classic Mackie HR824 MK1's, but with a much flatter frequency response.
Didn't have the same characteristic eq as the d5's, just a really well defined overall sound with good bass extension.

We're only down the motorway in Horwich if you want to try a pair out next week and could possibly do you a dsf member deal ;)

I went from rokit 6s to D5s and it was a huge upgrade in quality. They didnt have D8s then...now im lusting after those...

Thats great, looking forward to hearing them Ive read some really good reviews. Ive been debating replacing the KRKs for a while now but didnt want to shell out for small gains

Update: Had them home for a couple of days now and Im over the moon with them. The coaxial design seems to make all the difference to the mids/highs. Playing tunes Ive heard a thousand times on the KRKs and I can hear so many things Ive never noticed before. The stereo imaging is a huge improvement over the KRKs as well, will make a big difference to how I go about panning as I can really hear the difference between tiny adjustments. The low end sounds very solid, clear and tight, not muddy at all. If anybodys thinking about upgrading Id check them out. Really looking forward to getting stuck in now. Also wanted to say a big thanks to Tom (Tom_Autobot ) at Scan for taking the time to let me demo them (despite being really busy), stopping me from wasting money and sorting out a bit of dsf discount too!! Cheers mate.

No Probs Ben, was a pleasure to see you, glad you are enjoying the equators. Here's a link to the rw3 rockwool supplier i was telling you about that deilver.
It seems that RW3 has been renamed ProRox SL930 .
