KRK VXT6

KRK VXT6

KRK tell us to 'Imagine an NS10, with all of its mid-range accuracy, but with immense low-end extension and accurate, but non-fatiguing highs — that's the VXT8.' To me that sounds a bit like saying 'Imagine a Ford Fiesta but with the front half of a BMW and the rear end of a Porsche!' (Yes, I know that would give it two engines... don't bother to write in!) To be honest, I find it easier to assess these speakers by not thinking about the NS10 at all — because although the NS10 does have certain mid-range qualities, I can't really hear its influence in the end result here.

At first glance, the rounded enclosure shape is reminiscent of KRK's rather more expensive Exposé design, with its rigid format and flowing form that minimise mechanical resonances and internal reflections, and is also claimed to produce a wider listening sweet spot. Slotted cabinet tuning ports are employed to keep down port turbulence.
