IN-5

I see some pretty alarmist replies that you are fucked given your room ratios. I'm not gonna speak in absolutes like that. You have to roll with what you have, unless you are a pro and can build a studio from scratch. Yes, room modes will be very prominent. That means you have to pay extra attention

ngl i've used both in untreated rooms and the kh80 are way more honest but brutally revealing. kali in5 are fun and forgiving for heavy bass music. if your room isn't treated, the kh80's ma1 calibration kit works magic - measures your room and adjusts the speakers. Neumann MA 1 comes as a bundle wit

From my experience, larger speakers always sound better. While the Kali IN5 and IN8 have similar low‑frequency extension on paper, the IN8 has significantly lower distortion. I’ve never bought into the idea that you have to match speaker size to room size — I’d always go bigger without hesitation. T

I've been very happy with my Kali Audio LP8s. Enough so that my next upgrade will be the IN5s, and then I'll just be "done." I'm going down in size not for affordability, but because I prefer the speakers to be smaller and closer to me. The 8 inch Kalis are a little bit too big for desk use, IMO, so

I really like my Kali Audio monitors. Very good value across their lines. For $900, you can get a new pair of IN-5, or for $1000, a pair of IN-8s, which are great three way speakers. You might try those and if you find the bass lacking, add a sub. Or for $600, you could do their LP-8.

I do mix professionally in a very very small treated room with the IN 5, found out my mixes translated way better mixing with a pair of speakers with smaller woofer. I can't get a very clear response from low end as I would do with the IN 8s for example, but that's a price I am happily paying for re

Kali audio in-5 ( this is a v2 model anyway), or if u have a bigger room the in-8 v2 (the in8 had a older v1 model, the in5 was much newer). Its a very neutral speaker, you can boost the low end +2 db (aling with other minor tweaks via the dip switches). A very clean, neutral, and not ov3rly bassy s

Hmm... I don't know that loudness by number, but are you just listening too loud? Could it be the wide range of frequencies, from the subs to the top end air frequencies that just overload your brain after a while? If so, I kind of get that... My monitoring situation isn't high end or anything, but

If you're doing all that room treatment, I think you need something that reproduces some bass. So I'd either get the Kali IN8s or add a sub to your IN5s. Don't get two pairs of 'main monitors', just get one good pair. Learn to trust them over time. Work less on headphones cause I found once I treate

I have kali in5, was juggling between in8 and genelec. What I like about kali is 3way system and that they actually go down to 36hz - anything below that is just cut. The bass becomes very clean at 39hz so there is almost no rumble below that. They are very flat and so far all my mixses translate gr
