RP5G3 is cheaper than DJCITY’s Click Frenzy $358 Delivered sale price.
Currently $399 Delivered @ DJCITY.
Presonus T8 is usually $499, have rarely seen it cheaper. And at $424 it is currently cheaper than the Yamaha HS8S Studio subwoofer (which when on-sale is around $419).
Notes: a lot of people like KRK with their yellow woofer cone look, but IMO I think Stealth-Black looks better.
Presonus T8 is Class AB amplified & has RCA inputs, if that matters to you.
Also it may be worth trying to sign-up for newsletter (first-time only) to receive a $10 or $20 voucher.
