I did try them horizontally configured, however, following the directions for changing the tweeter/midrange sub-baffle as carefully detailed in the provided user’s guide. It’s worth noting that “any damage from the configuration change is not covered under warranty,” as noted in the guide; however, the most basic (yet careful) handyman skills should suffice in this Phillips head screwdriver-only task. Though I've had the opportunity to hear some incredible three-way monitoring systems of all types and sizes, I have only used two-way monitors in my own workspace, up until now. And full disclosure, I've been a happy KRK user for some time now; I bought my first pair of KRKs following my VXT8 review for Pro Audio Review in 2007. Since then, I've used other KRK models in review, from the passive R6 nearfields to their flagship Expose E8B active nearfield monitors. More » No subscription to Pro Audio Review?

Today's Blog PAR Opinion: Decisions, Decisions: Four Pros Discuss DAWs (and more) By Rich Tozzoli, Software Editor for Pro Audio Review This month, following our annual American AES Convention, is a great time to figuratively “reboot.” There’s not a better or more inspiring time for reevaluating the gear we use daily in our unique jobs. In doing so, it’s often worthwhile to consider what peers choose to get their jobs done; here, we catch up with four busy and credit-heavy pros for their latest and greatest DAW-based preferences in audio tools. They are Paul Antonell, Grammy-nominated engineer, mixer and producer (Spyro Gyra, Natalie Merchant, Rusted Root, Beausoleil); Richard Chycki, multi-Grammy award-winning engineer, mixer and producer (Rush, Aerosmith, Dream Theater, Def Leppard); Peter Moshay, multi-Grammy award-winning engineer, mixer and producer (Hall & Oates, Live From Daryl's House, BB King, Ian Hunter); and Bob Powers, multi-Grammy award-winning engineer, mixer and producer (Citizen Cope, Erykah Badu, The Roots, D'Angelo).
