Jaytech's secondary monitors are KRK VXT6 Active Studio Monitors. In a blog post, he talks about how he uses them: "At the moment I’m rocking some Adam A7X monitors alongside some KRK VXT 6. ...The KRKs, on the other hand, are built more like a child’s toy with a yellow and black plastic exterior, and their sound reflects this. They are more “fun” to use, giving the listener a more similar experience to a home hi-fi or car stereo, with pounding bass and a noisier sound overall. There’s actually a karaoke joint here in Berlin that uses them in their booths. Here’s the thing about KRK speakers. I know a lot of producers buy these in the hopes that it’ll give them a complete monitoring solution but in reality they’re not really capable of that. They can give you about 60% of what you need, and they do that 60% very well – especially when it comes to clubby punch and warmth in the lower mids and bass). However, mixing a complete record on them is probably going to lead to a kind of “plastic-ey” sound in your music that lacks the pristine clarity people are used to hearing nowadays. So, your best bet is to have a few options, and get into a habit of switching to these different systems to get only what you need from them. I’ll mix for three hours on the [A7X](https://equipboard.com/items/adam-audio-a7x-powered-studio-monitor) and then come back to the KRKs for 30 minutes, to bring some fun back in the mix when it’s sounding quite clinical."

It’s gotta be said even when the time comes to get the focal sm9’s I will always keep these as a backup. For the price they are a pretty damn good speaker that’s for sure, and much much better than the rocket range krk do ???? i highly recommend folks ;)

There are better monitors, but not for this price.

When you ask about what to choose when you are bying your first (or second) studio monitors, 40% will say KRK, and 60% will say that KRK is shit. But the VXT-series ar WAY better then the Rockit-series. Those once saying that KRK is shit, probably has their experience with KRK Rockit.

Great sounding and reliable

Had these from the very first release. They are a great sounding monitor with a touch of hi-fi. They have never blown and hardly been clipped or had the limiter set off. If you can still get a pair cheap, get them!!!!

Against common opinion, I think KRKs sound great. These aren't too dominating in the low end and have brilliant high end clarity

Great heavy sound!

I got this friends since the beginning of my produce-career, and I think KRK have still one of the best nearfield-monitors ever made. Maybe it is a little expensive, but it sounds really nice, deep and punchy at the same time. It has a good deep bass, if you want it harder you need to buy a KRK subwoofer, but this 2 fullranges is more than fair enough for the genre and quality I make. Of course, there are Genelec speakers that costs around 14.000 euros, and than you maybe got a much cleaner sound, but I am just a intermediate producer, and i haven't the money and capacity's for that. So i'm really happy with this ones.
