I am looking at some new monitors - I saw the KRK VXT8 s (on the Kemper Facebook page actually) has anyone used these? Any opinions? Am currently using Behringer Truth 2031 s.
Any opinion on the KRK VXT8 monitors?

I've been using Behringer Truths with my KPA since Oct 2011.
I've plugged into KRK's in music stores a few times, the Behringers sound better, bigger, to my ears.Having said that, no one will believe me because the word "Behringer" is not as popular as the word "KRK".

Interesting..thanks.My issue is whether I should get a FRFR cab or better off upgrading my monitors...my use for the KPA is home only at the moment.

As was already said the Behringer sound really decent.
Unless you don't intend to go heavily into serious recording (the Truths are also fine for that) I would go the FRFR direction. -

Was this the Rokit series or the VXT? Rokit = chinese mdf crap, VXT = very good chinese crap.
Seriously, it's like Squier vs. Fender in terms of sound quality. I used to own Rokit5's and have VXT4's now.
But the Truths are good for the money I give you that. But since op's budget is more towards $1200 a pair, I'd go with Neumann KH120's or Adam A7X's.

VXT and even better old KRK V Series 1 are some of the best translating middle class studio speakers around (they are not always fun though since they are really revealing). The old V Series sounds more open while the new VXT Series has a little more boxiness going. But I've used VXT 6 with sub extensively and this are killer speakers. Don't mix them up with the new Rokit stuff - they are leagues above them. Old 10 year old Passive Rokits however are the shit. I've a pair of them at home and love them...
