I purchased a pair of these in Dec 2010 and the VXT8 is everything I hoped for. My mixes really cut thru and revealed all my past mistakes in mixing on my old system! Plenty of bass (had 12 inch woofers in the past), but very controlled and not boomy, and the mids and highs sound great to me. Make sure to get good stands too, as these things are heavy. They are very loud too!!! Connected to my Alesis Masterlink, I can barely turn them up to an equivalent dial setting of 1.5 or 2. They totally rock and every CD I listen to now, seems to have a new element to it, even stuff I have listened to for 40 years or more. The clarity has helped me to figure out nuances in musical passages that have eluded me in the past. I am totally stoked over these babies. Make sure you break them in for 100 hours or so and you will notice how much smoother they become across the audio spectrum. I have been playing for over 45 years and recording for over 30 years so you can relax and take this review to the bank!!!

KRK VXT Series Monitors: Raising the BarKRK VXT Series monitors are the latest products from a company known for creating world class studio monitors for a variety of markets. The series was created using stringent design philosophies similar to KRK's flagship close-field monitor, the Exposé E8B. The VXT Series has been designed to reproduce the true nature of the audio material and raises the bar for recording monitors used by professional engineers, musicians and DJs worldwide. The VXT Series includes new proprietary woofers and tweeters, a newly designed curved face plate for excellent imaging, a new cabinet design that provides low resonance, improved structural integrity and extended low-end and slotted ports that greatly reduce port turbulence. KRK engineers started with the extremely functional cabinet design of the flagship monitor, the Exposé E8B to create a very high performance yet attractive line of monitors. The curved cabinet and faceplate provide excellent imaging characteristics and a wider sweet spot. (Many monitors have discontinuous elements which can increase diffraction.) The use of ABS structural foam as the cabinet material provides excellent damping characteristics and extended low end due to more internal volume. The ABS foam also absorbs shocks really well so the cabinet is extremely impact resistant. With the VXT Series, KRK engineers set out to improve transient response in the system. The tweeter's dome is comprised of true silk, as opposed to cloth, which translates to fast transient response, excellent imaging and extended frequency response. The new woofer inside the VXT Series has improved transient response by using a stiffer, lighter cone that provides very low distortion and extended low-end. With such attention to detail taken in the creation of VXT Series' key components, it should come as no surprise to learn that KRK has designed numerous extras. The VXT Series features tamper resistant switch covers to protect against others changing your personal settings, integrated Omni Mount support for easy wall or corner mounting, ground lift, defeatable limiter and auto mute controls, and high and low frequency adjust switches on the VXT6 and VXT8.
