Send those puppies back and get a pair of Yamaha MSP5's for the same price (less if you haggle). The MSP5's have more wattage both at the high end and the low end. They have adjustable Bass and Treble switches for fine tuning your Audio signal feed. They have XLR and 1/4 inch connectors. They have a massive heat sink to keep 'em cool. They are highly rated by some of the most prestigious Professional Sound and Keyboard magazines there are. They have a great flat frequency response and because of it are able to be used in the Mixing and Mastering process of your Recordings and Songs. But don't let their small size fool you. They put out more dB's and SPL's than ANY other comparable speaker in it's class. And you won't necessarily need a Subwoofer to hear deep rich bass either. The Bass on the MSP5's is astounding. And the kicker? They have those grills your talking about Scott. No more possible finger poked holes in those KRK woofers or tweaked and dented tweeters. The dog won't be able to paw or bite 'em to shreds either. The one minor drawback in your case is they weigh roughly 5 lbs. more apiece than the KRK's. But the advantages far outweigh the itsy bitsy teenie weenie little bit of extra weight you have to, *cough *cough, Ahem~ - lift.

Best regards,
Mike
