KRK V4 4" Powered Studio Monitor (Each)

As a hobby speaker designer, KRK has always been a fav of mine, as a great, price vs performance, brand. People see a yellow cone and immediately think "ROKITS", a budget model, hence, the bad rep of being a boomy bass brand. The V series has always been one of the best monitors, in their price range. Thier design philosophy hasn't always been nuetral voiced speakers (ROKITS) but the V series have always been generally flat. All the V series have large followings, but this last series (4) is particularly focused on flat voicing and combine that with KRK's tendency to make powerful speakers and you have win win win! 4-5" speakers are the max size for optimal mid range, same reason why you'll see so many genelec's in this size range, with 6.5 being the biggest size, considerable,for acceptable, midrange performance. These 4-inchers, in particular, are exceptional! You won't find another 4incher on the market that have the bass extension & spl that these guys get, combine that with the inherent great midrange of a 4" driver and the nuetral voicing and be prepare to amazed! The Kevlar tweeter is great, sounds reminiscent of a ribbon tweeter. I've used these speakers to create a way system by mating each channel with subwoofer, crossing them over at 200hz, taking away the bass duty from the 4" to let it's mid clearity be all it can be. A lower than average xover leaves vocals unaugmented. The result is the performance you'd see in a prestige 3 way like focal, but so much cheaper. You could actually do this with whatever your favorite brand 4-5" monitor, a DIY sub and a balanced miniDSP🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 and have the same or better performance than any of the super expensive 3 ways but for a fraction of the price....it's design philosophy and design character that create a great sound system, not a brand name, but I digress. By itself, this 4" inch speaker is about the best one, on the market, of any brand name, by a couple points. Good job KRK 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥇🏆
