The VXT8 from KRK is a high-quality two-way active monitor speaker that's great for use in professional or project studios. The ported, low-resonance cabinet houses a rigid 8" Kevlar woofer designed for extended low frequency response, as well as a 1" silk dome tweeter. Both drivers have vented formers to reduce power compression effects and maintain great sound. The sleek, curved design of the monitor creates terrific imaging qualities and offers a wide sweet spot.
The rear of the cabinet sports an XLR/TRS combo input jack. Controls include high and low frequency adjustment switches, a level control, an auto mute switch, and a clip indicator/limiter switch. A ground-lift switch helps to eliminate hum caused by ground loops, and a voltage selector switch makes it easy to use the monitor internationally.

Comments about KRK VXT8 - 180W 8" Two-Way Active Studio Monitor (Single):
With the new line from KRK. The VXT series was introduced using many of the same components and design as their high end EB monitors. The VXT8 is on par with the monitors at twice the price. I decided to update my monitoring chain from the RP series by skipping a generation. I believe this will be the last monitor I will ever need to purchase.
