Brand: KRK
#78 KRK Rokit 8 G5: $1,076 per pair Amazon $538.00 eBay
Older model: the KRK Rokit 8 G4 (ranked lower, rated 3.9/5). See every KRK Rokit generation.
Same family: the KRK Rokit 5 G5 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 3.8/5) and the KRK Rokit 7 G5 (smaller bookshelf, ranked lower, estimated 4/5).
Pros: An 8 inch studio monitor with deep bass, three DSP voicing modes, and app guided room tuning. An 8” woven Kevlar woofer and 1” silk dome tweeter, for deeper bass than the smaller Rokit models. Onboard DSP adds three voicing modes (Mix for a flat response, Create, and Focus for the midrange) and 25 boundary and tuning EQ settings, set up with the free KRK app. Bi-amplified Class D amplification and a silk dome tweeter rated to 40kHz.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. A large cabinet for a desk, so it needs stands or a deep surface and some distance from the wall.
