Improved Design, 8" Kevlar Woofer, 180 watt Bi-amp
Overview
V Series 2 monitors are hallmarked by defined low end, articulate midrange and precise highs, delivering clarity and accuracy on par with many world-class speakers costing more.
In addition, V Series 2 monitors feature several key design elements that have made KRK sounds a "studio standard," these include radiused edges for improved imaging and slotted ports that greatly reduce distortion caused by port turbulence. What's more, we've included some valuable and practical enhancements like a speaker protection circuit for added confidence, an auto on/off feature for improved convenience and upgraded driver and amplifier components to ensure peak performance in even the most demanding professional environments.
Whether you are making critical mixing decisions or capturing the subtle nuance of a unique sound, you'll quickly discover that the V Series 2 monitors are as precise about your work as you are.

"Sexy, versatile, perfect !"
These KRK monitors are exactly what I've been looking for.
Sound
First of all - these monitors have 8" woofers. Before buying these I read several monitor reviews where these monitors were compared to smaller monitors (KRK V6, Dynaudio, Genelec 8030A/8040A etc). One should be careful when comparing apples and oranges. 8" woofer monitors (without a subwoofer) do in fact sound different than smaller monitors (without a subwoofer). Smaller monitors may sound more linear (true/detailed/open/clear) at very very close range, but they generally fail in medium sized/larger rooms. This is why most studios have (at least) a pair of 8" woofer monitors as well as a pair of smaller monitors. I think the KRK V8 series 2 sound really really good and linear at all volumes, at very close range and in medium/large rooms - i.e. very versatile monitors. The sweet spot is quite wide (which is very important if you move around and play the guitar/bass in your studio). The sound is HUGE !! HUGE !! You don't need a subwoofer (and one shouldn't need one either).
Features
I love the auto on/off switch ! Works perfectly. All back panel features are perfect !
Ease of Use
Plug'n play ! The manual should be more clear (with examples) when describing the use of the LF/HF switches (compare the Genelec 8000 series manuals).
Quality
Very good quality. Finish/fit and size perfect. I love… read more the yellow/black color combination - I'm sick and tired of the typical black (chameleon) monitors. Color is cool - show off your monitors in your studio !
Value
Are you kiddin' ? These monitors cost $2300 i Norway - that's a true bargain for 8" woofer reference/high quality monitors.
