Exactly, whatever works for you. Plenty of people like those KRKs.

Also it should be pointed out that sound varies a lot across one
company's products.  E.g. I seem to recall hearing some other KRK
model that didn't irritate me the way the two models in the store
did. It was a year ago so I've forgotten which model is which.

somebody asked about genelecs... again, they vary.
one guy whose opinions I value, Scott Dorsey over on rec.audio.pro, 
really hates the genelec 1029 but says most of the others are pretty good, 
and he prefers the 1031 to the Mackies. My band did an album in a 
studio that had 1030s (I think) and they seemed pretty nice to me.
