it s your personal opinion, you should listen to them yourself.
I checked both of them and ended up buying Adam A7, which are obviously
more expensive.
The KRK sound much "nicer" than the yamahas, which does not mean that they are the better
Monitors, they are quite Hifi like. I didn t like the yamahas at all, so if i had to
choose between those two, i d take the KRK.
If you don t need very high volume, you could think about geting something
with 6.5 or 5 woofer but at higher quality.
There will be the Adam a5 soon.

You have to listen to both before you buy. Everyone's ears are different.

Both monitors actually sound 100% different. Yamaha offers practically zero bass and sound unlike any other commercially available monitor in my opinion.

I went to the store planning on buying the Yamaha's and left with KRK's. Also managed to save around $100.
