The VXT6 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 6" 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 clip indicator/limiter switch. A ground-lift switch helps to eliminate hum cause by ground loops, and a voltage selector switch makes it easy to use the monitor internationally.

Comments about KRK VXT6 - 90W 6" Two-Way Active Studio Monitor (Single):
I purchased the VXT6 monitors to replace a set of M-audio Bx5a's. There is no comparison. The VXT6 is an incredible value for the price. I had the opportunity to audition them against several others speaker both in and above this price point and kept coming back to the KRK's. To my ear the detail and imaging were quite compelling even against the the lower end Genelec's and the higher end Dynaudio's. The detail of these speakers is what amazes me. I hear it in my mixes and I hear it in recorded music. There are nuances in material that I have listened to hundreds of times that I have never heard until now. Physically this is a hefty speaker. The structural plastic foam material that they build the enclosure from is not flimsy. I like the limiting circuit that is built in that keeps you from clipping the speaker which could cause damage. For me and for the space I work in these speakers are the optimal size and that is an individual thing. Little things to think about are that these are truly near field monitors. You need to be relatively close to hear all it has to offer. It also is finicky about placement. It is best right at ear level. All in all I can't recommend them enough.

Comments about KRK VXT6 - 90W 6" Two-Way Active Studio Monitor (Single):
The VXT6 is used in a 2.1 extreme nearfield (< 3ft) office music system. Build quality is very good. Industrial design is quite attractive. Compared to my JBL 4328 2.1 system at home, the VXT6 may be a little more revealing. Treble is very smooth and detailed. Only complaint is the auto sense power setting -- I have to listen at such low volumes in the office that one speaker will turn itself off even though a signal is still present. I don't consider this a fault of the design; just my unusual use.
