KRK Rokit 8 G5 (single)
Sold as a single powered 8-inch monitor (buy two for a stereo pair), this enthusiast-tier Rokit G5 leans on its low-end reach. The 8-inch woofer is its draw and its limit: it brings the bass for bass-forward work but needs room to breathe, so it's a poor fit for small rooms where that low end has nowhere to go.
