IN-5

I had kali in5s and 8s in my room and they're incredible, I've got ls50 metas now and they're better than the kalis used with a sub. Very engaging and immersive experience. Haven't heard ops model but kef are no joke and that coaxial design near field is awesome.

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

Kali is kinda dominating the budget monitor market for price-performance. All their monitors are decent but their coaxial designs sound incredible. The Kali in-5 or in-8 is what I’d look at. I have the in-5s for my DJ studio and the vocals sound amazing

Genelec was literally just one example. My point is that there have been some breakout brands, like Kali Audio, that make insanely good speakers for the price. The IN-5 and IN-8s for example have a plethora of reviewers saying they prefer them over $1000 or even $2000 speakers.

Spinorama for Genelec 8030A Spinorama for Kali In-5 Trust your ears if you can hear both, they’re both great but I give a slight edge to Genelec. If you’re factoring cost, Kali is the winner.

Comparing the IN5s with the Genelecs is unfair, because a single genelec is almost twice the price of the IN5s. Still, if it's you first pair I would go for the IN5s and invest the rest of the budget on acoustic treatment if you haven't done so already. The IN5s are well balanced and are good purpos

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

X32 Rack as a mixer running to a stereo pair of Kali Audio In5's with a mono Kali WS 6.2 sub. Plex server playing FLAC files only via the X32 USB connection. Technics 1200 (single) and a surprisingly nicely built Gemini rack mounted CD player. Basic, but sounds great in the space, and allows me to e

For near field desktop listening, I’d look at the Kali unf and in-unf. If you’ve got the space, maybe the in-5. I use the in series for music production. If you’re used to the hd6xx, I think you’ll enjoy the studio monitor experience. Ditch the amp, but you can still use the dac and pre.

Mkay - then I'd really not got with one of those. They are made to be used with their purpose built subs and alignment software. And those are made to do mixing on them - they're not fun. Also, with their subs and software it will be twice your budget. Whatever speaker you are going to go with - you
