RCF TT 08-A vs TT 08-A II or KX 08-A

After playing my Nord keyboards through a pair of first-generation RCF TT 08-A speakers, I'm considering purchasing a pair. But RCF doesn't make the original TT 08-A anymore. So I'm looking at the TT 08-A II. Or at what I understand is the latest update to the TT 08-A . . . the RCF KX 08-A.

With each iteration, I'd like to think RCF is just making these sound better and better. But it's hard to know, since the newer models' components and specs appear to differ from the original model TT 08-A.

Has anyone here played through the TT 08-A II or the KX 08-A? I would welcome any reports on how these newer models sound as keyboard speakers. In and of themselves or particularly vs the first-generation TT 08-A since that's my only point of reference.

Yeah, it's a weird situation right now, especially if you're in the USA.

I own a pair the original RCF TT08a. None better for what they are.

I auditioned the updated MK2s and couldn't detect any audio differences, just better wedge packaging. That's irrelevant to me, so I didn't go for it. The KX series is RCF's replacement, but they're not available here yet in the US and nobody is saying when. Quoted prices fluctuate as tariffs are bouncing around. So not a good time to buy new, especially if you're in the US.

That being said, I can't imagine the new ones sound meaningfully better than the originals, so if it were me I'd focus on buying used.

Thanks. Great to hear from someone who has auditioned the Mk II version. Manufacturers' updates sometimes improve their products but other times go in the wrong direction. If the Mk II sounds comparable to the original TT 08-A, that's plenty good enough for me.
