Mid-size studio monitors
KRK Rokit 7 G4 vs Yamaha HS7
Two mid-size studio monitors with different approaches to your room. The KRK Rokit 7 G4 has a 7-inch Kevlar woofer, 145 W, and a DSP room EQ with 25 settings on a built-in screen, plus the KRK app for placement. The Yamaha HS7 has a 6.5-inch woofer, 95 W, and what Yamaha calls the HS series' honest, precise reference sound, with simple ROOM CONTROL and HIGH TRIM switches.
