The NEKKST K8 is essentially the spiritual successor to Behringer’s popular "Truth" series (B2030A/B2031A). However, rather than just rehashing old designs, Behringer enlisted the help of Keith R. Klawitter, a legendary speaker designer. This pedigree is important because it explains why the K8 sounds vastly different—and generally better—than Behringer’s older models.
