My booths final form
So I previously used Kali IN8s which I really love the sound of compared to those in a similar price range and above ie KRKs, Adam audio and focal. Don't have much more to reference them to though. They sound very similar to the Kalis by my ear, which makes sense due to the similarities in design, m

Advice on studio monitors for guitar and bass?
I have been using Kali Audio LP8 V1 for the last few years and they are great and come in under the budget. The V2 IN-8 would be an even bigger fuller sound. The front porting is great.

Small monitor recommendations
Buy the Neumann KH 120 II to keep Neumann's translation signature, or consider the Kali Audio IN-8 v2 for a budget-friendly, true 3-way design

Kali IN8 vs SM8?
I don't think I have tbh but I'm not trying to say the IN-8 v2s are the standard or anything, just that it's kind of wild how good they are while still being pretty reasonably priced. I mean, they're 8 inch, 3-way studio monitors with a coaxial design for less than 1000. The IN-8v2's can be put in a

Focal Alpha, Adam Audio...
That’s bit small budget if you want to fill out your whole room. Usually that budget active studio monitors are intended for desktop usage (i.e. about arm’s length away). Like e.g. Kali Audio LP-UNF (EAC review) (Thomann listing). JBL or Adam active studio monitors could be slightly bigger in your b

How to improve the sound in my small room?
I don't think you need different speakers, those A5X's are solid, especially for the price point. I will say that generally they're not gonna be as "hyped" as you might want if all you're doing is DJing through them. They're meant to have a relatively flat response for mixing. Also, a 5.5" woofer is

Kali LP-6 v2's + sub (WS 6.2) or Kali IN-8 v2's Which is better for Home studio setup?
My room is ~16х10 ft and Kali Lp6v2 with sub works much better than 8inch monitors (krk rokit 8) But my room is acoustically untreated. Still I have better and satisfying results on Kali+sub. 8inchers are too much for that room because they need to be louder in comparison to kali6+sub and also becau

Tempted to go from Focal shape 65 to Kali IN8V2, please talk me out of it guys
I have Kali IN8 V2 + Sub + Ns10 at my main spot & they’re cool.Easier to figure out compared to the ns10s.I have focal alphas at another spot & they’re alright, I got them because they were cheap & work for what I need them to do. Highly recommend the IN8s - they’re not fatiguing, they’re pleasant t

Sanity check: should I buy the Kali Audio IN-5 monitors?
I hear you on the headphones and I get it. Maybe one day I’ll have a reason to get a headphone monitor setup, but my needs are quite casual at the moment. I don’t particularly enjoy wearing headphones, so I’m trying to optimize for a relaxed, ergonomic setup for my desk. Having speakers instead of h

Studio Setup (hardware recommendations and organisation advice needed)
I just recently started producing and apart from having a blast learning Logic and creating music, I've had great fun slowly gathering everything a need to get going. Then unless you don't like wearing headphones, you don't really need to think about studio monitors yet. Unless you're going to treat
