GuitarGearHeads.com has awarded KRK Systems the title of “Official Studio Monitor of GuitarGearHeads.com for 2008.” After extensive testing, GuitarGearHeads.com has elected to upgrade their musical equipment testing labs with the VXT 6 inch studio monitors from KRK Systems. These monitors will be used in all testing of equipment and software done where studio monitors are required. The VXT Series represents a significant update to KRK’s very popular V-Series monitors.

“From the first time I used the V6 inch monitors, I was impressed with the quality of sound. After witnessing a monitor shootout between the new VXT series against several high end and very expensive name brand monitors at 2008 Winter NAMM, we knew that a full upgrade was in order,” said GuitarGearHeads.com President Gary Allen.   “KRK makes incredible products and we are proud to place their monitors in our testing facilities,” continued Allen.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by GuitarGearHeads,” said KRK Vice President of Marketing Tony Rodrigues.  “For the VXTs to be honored in this professional testing environment is confirmation of the caliber of monitors they are,” added Rodrigues.
