KRK VXT8 Active Studio Monitor

Feature:
Great controls on the back, love the auto on/off setting. Very soft and precise limiter.

Quality:
Very professional made, everything is rugged and strong. No glue spills no cosmetic problems at all..

Desirability:
Very sexy looks

Sound:
One of the best monitors i have heard and owned. NS 10 with immense low end, you can hear everything that goes in the mix. Very open, very clear, crisp, precise.. in one word GREAT..

Ease of Use:
Plug and Play, although you should allow for a breakdown period a bit longer.

Support:
Contacted KRK about some additional info, never responded.. :(

Overall:
As i said before, I have been working with Genelecs, Dynaudios, and all blows and whistles.. but none of them have astonished as these monitors.

Feature:
I like the toggle switches on the back that control the lows and highs, it is really easy to just flick a switch and be done with it when setting up your room. I have yet to experience the clipping and the auto mute.

Quality:
I was very excited to get these monitors back to my house. I noticed some dirty plastic on some of the packaging, like it had been packaged by a 12 year old or something. I plugged them in and was very happy to hear they sounded great and I made a good purchase. 2 days later one failed, it just went dead and not a fuse problem. I bring the messed up monitor back to the store and they gave me a replacement. The speaker on the new monitor is a darker shade of yellow compared to my original one and some of the seams are not cut well, they are just not straight. Overall the quality of these monitors is not very good, the whole built in china thing is very evident with these speakers. I wish it wasn't so because they are nice speakers and I want to keep them but I think I'm leaning over towards the Event SP8 monitors. They are made in the USA and have raving reviews for pretty much the same amount of money.

Value:
Good speakers for the money but watch out for shotty workmanship. Every speaker I've seen so for has some defects structural and in the woofer. Sometimes the tweeter has a weird shinny tinge to it as well and just don't look right around the edges. Sorry for being overly picky I just paid 1500 bucks for monitors I want to love and keep for a long time. To me that's a lot of money.y.

Desirability:
Great looking monitors, not sure if they're sexy. The whole KRK yellow thing is cool but a little childish sometimes to me. The rounded edges really enhance the feel of these monitors and they sit awesome up on my 34 inch stands.

Sound:
These monitors sound great, the hi's don't cut your head off the mids are true and the low's are tight and punchy. Also the stereo imaging is so defined you can really pick out what you want to hear and know exactly where it is.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play.

Support:
The manual was giving me a head ache, saying that they have a section on fuses and how to replaces them on page 3 but that was an intro page and there is nothing about fuses in the whole manual. I went to email customer service and the site was down. I don't know if I'm just having a bad luck spell with KRK or what but this just amazes me.

Overall:
I'm going to return these speakers and get those Events. As much as I love these monitors the future give me a grim feeling in my stomach and I really don't want to be left in the middle of a session with no monitors because one fails.
