Drawing upon the design characteristics of their Exposé E8B, the new VXT Series of monitors consists of 3 models -- the VXT4, VXT6, and VXT8. With a visually striking enclosure design that is equally functional -- providing low resonance, improved structural integrity and extended low-end, slotted ports for reduced port turbulence, plus a sleek curvature that provides excellent imaging characteristics and a wider "sweet spot" -- the VXT monitors achieve a new level of precision.

Feature:
I love the auto on/off switch ! Works perfectly. All back panel features are perfect !
Quality:
Very good quality. Finish/fit and size perfect. I love the yellow/black color combination - I'm sick and tired of the typical black (chameleon) monitors. Color is cool - show off your monitors in your studio !
Value:
Are you kiddin' ? These monitors cost $2300 i Norway - that's a true bargain for 8" woofer reference/high quality monitors.
Desirability:
EXTREMELY SEXY !! They look and are very pro !
Sound:
First of all - these monitors have 8" woofers. Before buying these I read several monitor reviews where these monitors were compared to smaller monitors (KRK V6, Dynaudio, Genelec 8030A/8040A etc). One should be careful when comparing apples and oranges. 8" woofer monitors (without a subwoofer) do in fact sound different than smaller monitors (without a subwoofer). Smaller monitors may sound more linear (true/detailed/open/clear) at very very close range, but they generally fail in medium sized/larger rooms. This is why most studios have (at least) a pair of 8" woofer monitors as well as a pair of smaller monitors. I think the KRK V8 series 2 sound really really good and linear at all volumes, at very close range and in medium/large rooms - i.e. very versatile monitors. The sweet spot is quite wide (which is very important if you move around and play the guitar/bass in your studio). The sound is HUGE !! HUGE !! You don't need a subwoofer (and one shouldn't need one either).
Ease of Use:
Plug'n play ! The manual should be more clear (with examples) when describing the use of the LF/HF switches (compare the Genelec 8000 series manuals).
Support:
Not yet needed to contact support.
Overall:
These KRK monitors are exactly what I've been looking for.
