Time for New Speakers - Recommendations?


Recommended Posts

Just this past weekend my system was hit with an accidental burst of stupendously loud audio, blowing out the woofer in one of my beloved old KRK K-Rok monitors. I've had these speakers for 20 years, and have been playing vinyl through them since I got back into vinyl collecting... Finding a replacement driver for this KRK might be a challenge, so I'm considering new speakers. My first thought was to go the studio monitor route again and get new KRK speakers, but the new KRKs get poor reviews and are supposedly nowhere near as nice as the old K-Roks from the '90s. 

 

Could anyone here recommend some nice audiophile speakers for me to check out? I'd say a 6" or an 8" woofer would be ideal. The room is 20' x 12'. These would be used both for music and for movies/tv/netflix. I like to be able to go loud. Good bass response is important. Budget wouldn't be huge. I wasn't counting on having to replace these speakers. Maybe up to $800 for the pair?
