IN-5

KH80 is smaller and more expensive, but tonally very balanced for the size. IN5 is closer in size to the much more expensive KH120, but is a three way. You will get more speaker with less cost (and less pedigree) with the Kali. If I was choosing, I'd get IN5. If you can, listen for yourself in perso

I own Kali LP-8s, and the IN-5s are absolutely in my future. I think it's a great buy for my situation - maybe for yours, too: Kali came to the market to compete with the big dogs, and punches above their weight. While they started on the affordable side, they've done well and are already making spe
