IN-8

Fwiw, Sony replaced their 5k/ea Genelecs with Kali IN-8V2s in most of their audio post rooms this past year. Apparently the audio leadership couldn’t tell the difference between the Genelecs and the Kalis in a blind test. On a personal angle, I work in 3x Atmos rooms with Genelecs and have a Kali At
