Thread Starter | M-Audio BX8 Vs KRK Rockit RP-8
Hi All, First of all I am producing house, electro and trance. I currently have the old school passive Tannoy Reveal 5 monitors and a M-audio firewire audiophile sound card. Now I am currently looking to upgrade to slightly better monitors. I am tossing up between the M-audio BX8 and the KRK Rockit Rp-8. I know alot about the M-audio BX8s as my friend has a pair. What I can gather is they have a slightly brighter sound however other than that they are pretty good for the price. My question is what are the KRK Rockit RP-8's like? Especially when compared to the M-audio BX8s. All help is appreciated Cheers Karv |

All KRK's that I've heard have been excellent monitors. I seriously doubt the M-Audios could compete. That said, I haven't actually heard the M-Audios you're talking about. But KRK and Genelec are easily the best deal on monitors (especially small ones) out there.
