Short answer: the T5V, on both ranking and price. It ranks #38 of 108 powered bookshelf speakers at $464; the Rokit 5 G4 ranks #59 at $337, $127 more. The KRK Rokit 5 G4 is discontinued; its replacement is the KRK Rokit 5 G5.
Both get benchmarked against the same Yamaha HS5. Our notes credit the T5V with better vocal detail and low end than the HS5, and the Rokit 5 G4 with deeper bass than it, plus good horizontal directivity from its waveguided tweeter and low distortion that scales gradually with volume.
Each has its own tradeoff. The T5V’s AMT tweeter runs an elevated, slightly uneven top end shared across Adam’s T-series; the Rokit 5 G4 is described as a little more hifi sounding and not quite as good for mixing as the HS5.
Buy the T5V for the stronger ranking and the lower price. Buy the Rokit 5 G4 if its onboard DSP room correction specifically matters for your setup.
