I cannot help but notice that the overall volume in the sound comparison is completely different between the two sets of speakers. You should normalize volumes when comparing anything that is audio related (just like you would do when comparing a compressed signal to the DRY signal while mixing a track). This is because our biggest well-known bias is the one that tends to favour louder sounding things in general, so... Just FYI.

I often see people comparing these monitors so when I wanted a new pair of 8 inch nearfields to my studio I figured I’d order all of them and A/B compare right where they’ll eventually would be used and this is my 2 cents: Focal Alpha 80 When I first opened the box and saw the monitors the first thing I noticed was that the panels that form the case werent perfectly alligned, some edges would stick out and it seemed like the box wasnt assembled with the attention to detail focal shapes are. To me that was barely a issue, I couldnt care less about what they look like. Now, the important part, the sound. They had a flat response but did lack a bit in the deep sub around 40-80hz. Above 80 hz the low end was very accurate and controlled. The mids were very impressive with a good sense of space and separation. They had great presence in the mid range. The highs and high mids sound amazing but they do have a slight hollow and metallic tone to them that some might prefer to really hear the sparkle and detail when working on vocals for example. Overall: They handle transients absolutely amazing. The stereo imaging is great. They are not that fun to listen to and thats because they excell at revealing what mixing decisions needs to be made. These are for mixing and nothing else. I would prefer these over the yams and Krks when working on less digital and bass heavy projects. Focals: 8.5/10 The Krk Rokit/RP8 Gen 4 Right out of the box you see those iconic yellow cones and this gen boasts knitted/braided kevlar drivers that look really cool. The ”box” feels extremely sturdy and well made. The sound: The deepsub between 35-100 sound amazing and upfront and thats probably because of the frontported sub. As were the focal and yams make you feel the sub, the krks gets you to hear them loud and clear. Around 120-200 hz the bass feels uncontrolled and give that car speaker like kind of bass response. Very bad for mixing but probably nice when youre composing and you want to get the vibe started. The mids sound good but the sense of space and separation isnt there, they lack clarity and give you a rumbly and dark sound. The highs are not good at all, high transients sound distorted, everything with a fast attack sounds like its clipping and the overall clarity and brightness isnt there even with the dsp eq on the back set to hype the 10khz and above. Overall: No bueno. The build quality and looks are far better than the other monitors but the sound is not good at all, they sound like a club PA system, if you are trying to improve your dj sets these might be the way to go but for producing and mixing these are pretty bad to be honest. They sound muffled almost as if you were listening to them from a room away Just my two cents Krk RP8G4: 6.5/10 The Yamaha HS 8 The yams look and feel well made but the adhesive put inside the cone is visible on the front. I dont mind but some might. The sound on these are amazing, very dynamic, they have punchy and precise sound and they handle all types of transients with ease. The stereo separation is great, the best out of the bunch, far better than the Krks and a (probably placebo) small edge over the Alphas aswell. The clear mids are indeed very clear, I wouldnt say they sound hyped in the highmids but the highs/mids are more upfront than the other monitors which result in a ”open” and clear sound. The bass is accurate and flat throught out the spectrum, very surgical and full but also punchy. Very nice low end. Overall: The yams rock a accurate and flat sound. They look professional, they sound professional. Amazing mids and highs, best bass response. Clear, open and good sense of width and depth. Not much to say, no aspect of them blew me away but more importantly nothing about them let me down. They are reliable, great sounding monitors and the pair out of the bunch that I prefer and will be keeping. Yamaha HS8: 9:10 Finalscore (remember these are my opinions) 1. Yamaha HS8 (9/10) 2.

I've auditioned both these monitors as well the 6.5 and 5 inch variants. I will tell you now both these 8s are pretty flat but sound very different from each other. In short the biggest difference is really the tweeter. On the yamaha it's an aluminum tweeter combines with a plastic woofer. Aluminum can be very revealing and sound great especially on any kind of drums due to both being metal. However the Yamaha tweeter has the standard aluminum ring. Over time it can get fatiguing. The krk uses a kevlar tweeter along with a kevlar woofer. If crossover design is of equal quality in both, the krks will have a more cohesive sound and sound closer to a single driver. also the tweeter is easier on the ears and sounds nothing like any metal or soft dome. There are no speakers on the market with a kevlar tweeter. It really is a unique design. And there are no monitors in this price range that use the same material for both woofer and tweeter. If you look at the frequency response graphs of both the big thing that shapes their sound is the tilt of the response. Krks are voiced to have the lower end tilt up and the yamahas are voiced to have the high end tilt up. This is partly what gives the krks a warm sound and partly what gives the yamahs a cold sound. I've listened to pretty much every studio monitor in this price range and have owned many pairs. In my opinion the krks are superior. There are no speakers studio or hifi that use a kevlar tweeter plus a matching kevlar woofer. This is a very unique design plus I prefer warmer sounding speakers.

Your levels between the 2 products are different therefore hard to compare. When doing a sound comparison, you need to make sure you level match the 2 pairs. However, I do have the Yamaha HS8 and I love them. They are really great. I also have the KRK's Rockit 8 2 and my son loves them but I can tell the difference between the 2 pairs. The Yamaha sounds much better to my ears.

@eranddroory99873 жыл бұрын
Just To correct you a bit. The wattage has nothing to do with loudness (spl). It's about the sensitivity of the driver. So a 15 watt speaker can play louder than a 450 watt speaker if it has better sensitivity because it needs less watt to reach max spl. And if the spl of the driver is higher it takes just a few watts to play much louder!! 😊 Also note that the KRK is minus 10 db at 38hz which is not how most other manufacturers list specs. So on paper the low end might seem better but in reality the low end extension is not better as other will have a minus 3-6 db in the same range. But overall a good vid.. Thanks 😊 I'd choose the Yamaha any time of the day!

I would say that KRK "emphasizing low end" is not neccessarily in customer's demand, nor the company's intent given the fact, that studio monitor's key feature is to have flat response across the whole bandwidth. Extended lows differ to emphasized lows. The first comes from physical ability of woofer to reproduce the lowest frequencies present in the original mixdown. Lower it goes - its ability is extended down to. Emphasized lows mean artificially added to the monitor itself, i.e. monitor always adds something not present in the mix, extended lows means how deep they can go, if the signal is containing this type sonic information.The first thing is completely against the principles of "monitoring", it is "hifi" culture. Another thing depends on the room acoustic treatment and monitor itself. Look out for extension. No expansion..

I don't know how the 8 inch rokit compares to the tri-amp 10 inch rokits which are practically midfields. But the 10 inch ones sound much better to mix than the hs8. I had always hated rokits (previous generations), until we got the 10 as electric drum monitors and notices they are an excellent tool to have in the studio even during mixing process. Hs8 lower mids are a bit scooped, which is an area you'd want to hear in a mix as it's one of the areas that can muddy a track. That paired along with treble emphasis can give you a false sense of clarity. Long story short, try the yamaha if you want, but you may have made the right purchase.

One thing that I hope is mentioned is how KRK speakers have a tendency to have _HORRIBLE_ noise come from them (electrical interference, static, buzzing, coil whine, .etc.) This is an enherent design flaw with many of KRK's speakers (especially older models like the G2.) It comes from poor shielding, cheap capacitors and "black gunk" spread across their internal components. Sad to see so many reviewers gloss over this.

You might laugh now I tell you that I'm still using Yamaha MSP5s. I've always loved them. I am considering the upgrade to HS8s, but maybe my studio doesn't need anything bigger than 5s, and maybe I'm too basic as an engineer to need anything better. I practice and record a lot of digital piano and trumpet (jazz) in my studio, for semi-pro applications like demos and backing tracks. I really appreciate the strong mid definition I get on the piano, but I must be losing some low end. Does it matter? Dunno. Should I add a subwoofer instead? Opinions welcome. P.S. Are there any bass decay issues with either speaker in the review?

A lot have said when they got a sub it helped to get their low end spot on and this was hip hop producers and they know their stuff.

I had a lot of monitors, but I returned everything to test the following ones. As a result, I can recommend KRK to everyone. They sound very clean, crisp, nice "aramid" top. And most importantly, they sound as similar as possible to what I hear in my 990 PRO.
@vwr32jeep9 ай бұрын
Ok… let’s address this. I’ve compared both in store, both are amazing. The KRK has “more power”, but loudness has a lot to do with speaker efficiency as well. Both are very good at filling a large room. The high end: Humans can hear sounds in the 20Hz-20,000Hz range. Yamaha’s 30,000 Hz is plenty. KRK’s 40,000Hz just becomes wtf. The difference between 34Hz and 38Hz on the low end for a monitor that will be on a stand or a table (possibly near field) probably wouldn’t be a determining feature for most. Anyone looking for lower frequencies would look at what subwoofer the company pairs with their monitors. KRK offers an 8” and a 10” sub for their monitors which brings low end down to 34 and 30 Hz respectively. Yamaha has the HS8 Subwoofer which has accurate frequency response down to 22Hz. For under $400. I’ll stick with my “older technology”. 😉

@peterlagroove65553 жыл бұрын
if you look at the specs of your speakers you will understand that no matter what you think about it, you are definitely missing frequencies. In particular, those which are under 35hz. What is interesting to understand is that the subwoofer, being adjustable, allows you to find frequencies that your main speakers are struggling to reproduce. For example ... Let's say your speakers go down to 38hz, to -6db. Therefore, you should understand that this is the limit offered by your speakers. It’s a "flaw", nothing less! So if your subwoofer is adjusted to fully restore dB at frequencies below those possible with your speakers, you get a fuller sound, and more faithful to the recording. But beware! Adjusting a subwoofer is a very delicate technique requiring a VERY developed ear. Question: What is YOUR reason for not using a subwoofer in your stereo listening?
@josephramone5805 Жыл бұрын
I added a PreSonus Temblor T10 10 inch Powered Studio Subwoofer to my studio. I run Event Project Studio 6 inch as my main monitors, which are excellent for mindrange, good for high frequencies, but lacking in the bass, with a low end of 45 hz. Adding the sub was a game-changer. Setting the cross-over frequency, as you suggested, was the easy part. But it took a while to set the gain just right. I needed to use a DB meter to calibrate the loudness of the sub so it never exceeded the output of the monitors. The gain has to be uniform across all three speakers. Otherwise, having a sub is useless. That said, for the kind of music I produce, I'm better off with 8 inch speakers that go down to 30HZ. Nothing I ever work with reaches below 35-40HZ.

They are the preferred choice for most sound engineers and producers. Imagine how good they are that people still use them a decade later. Would you use a 10 year old krk? 😅The Krks are new. The hs8 destroys this new krk. Just like it did with all the previous ones. Unfortunately. All these new tech they added are used becuase the box isn't tuned adequately

I often see people comparing these monitors so when I wanted a new pair of 8 inch nearfields to my studio I figured I’d order all of them and A/B compare right where they’ll eventually would be used and this is my 2 cents: Focal Alpha 80 When I first opened the box and saw the monitors the first thing I noticed was that the panels that form the case werent perfectly alligned, some edges would stick out and it seemed like the box wasnt assembled with the attention to detail focal shapes are. To me that was barely a issue, I couldnt care less about what they look like. Now, the important part, the sound. They had a flat response but did lack a bit in the deep sub around 40-80hz. Above 80 hz the low end was very accurate and controlled. The mids were very impressive with a good sense of space and separation. They had great presence in the mid range. The highs and high mids sound amazing but they do have a slight hollow and metallic tone to them that some might prefer to really hear the sparkle and detail when working on vocals for example. Overall: They handle transients absolutely amazing. The stereo imaging is great. They are not that fun to listen to and thats because they excell at revealing what mixing decisions needs to be made. These are for mixing and nothing else. I would prefer these over the yams and Krks when working on less digital and bass heavy projects. Focals: 8.5/10 The Krk Rokit/RP8 Gen 4 Right out of the box you see those iconic yellow cones and this gen boasts knitted/braided kevlar drivers that look really cool. The ”box” feels extremely sturdy and well made. The sound: The deepsub between 35-100 sound amazing and upfront and thats probably because of the frontported sub. As were the focal and yams make you feel the sub, the krks gets you to hear them loud and clear. Around 120-200 hz the bass feels uncontrolled and give that car speaker like kind of bass response. Very bad for mixing but probably nice when youre composing and you want to get the vibe started. The mids sound good but the sense of space and separation isnt there, they lack clarity and give you a rumbly and dark sound. The highs are not good at all, high transients sound distorted, everything with a fast attack sounds like its clipping and the overall clarity and brightness isnt there even with the dsp eq on the back set to hype the 10khz and above. Overall: No bueno. The build quality and looks are far better than the other monitors but the sound is not good at all, they sound like a club PA system, if you are trying to improve your dj sets these might be the way to go but for producing and mixing these are pretty bad to be honest. They sound muffled almost as if you were listening to them from a room away Just my two cents Krk RP8G4: 6.5/10 The Yamaha HS 8 The yams look and feel well made but the adhesive put inside the cone is visible on the front. I dont mind but some might. The sound on these are amazing, very dynamic, they have punchy and precise sound and they handle all types of transients with ease. The stereo separation is great, the best out of the bunch, far better than the Krks and a (probably placebo) small edge over the Alphas aswell. The clear mids are indeed very clear, I wouldnt say they sound hyped in the highmids but the highs/mids are more upfront than the other monitors which result in a ”open” and clear sound. The bass is accurate and flat throught out the spectrum, very surgical and full but also punchy. Very nice low end. Overall: The yams rock a accurate and flat sound. They look professional, they sound professional. Amazing mids and highs, best bass response. Clear, open and good sense of width and depth. Not much to say, no aspect of them blew me away but more importantly nothing about them let me down. They are reliable, great sounding monitors and the pair out of the bunch that I prefer and will be keeping. Yamaha HS8: 9:10 Finalscore (remember these are my opinions) 1. Yamaha HS8 (9/10) 2. Focal Alpha 80 (8.5/10) 3. Krk Rokit 8 Gen 4 (6.5/10)
