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

Kali IN 8 are excellent monitors. I upgraded from the LP6 and am very happy 👍

Studio monitors aren’t supposed to have a traditional “wow” effect. You didn’t clarify what you meant by that or what exactly were you underwhelmed about, so it sounds a bit like you might’ve expected a hifi speaker wow effect. Studio monitors are designed to sound neutral. They aren’t supposed to e

I think for the money if you’re looking for a replacement in your budget, the Kali Audio IN-8 v2s are your best option. Paper cone, 3 way speaker with really good transient response and a very detailed midrange which a lot of speakers in the budget tier are lacking. I work in an Audio Post facility

I have both.The Hs8s were my monitors for about 2 years. I needed them for my TV for a party and they never made it back to the studio so ended up with the IN8s for the studio. Both are good options. The Yamahas were a little bit more musical/better sounding. The Kalis are sterile/flat. Both can get

I went to the Kali warehouse a few weeks ago to pick up a part for the repair and their supply chain lead told me about the Sony situation.

I don’t know the neumann’s you mentioned, but I have a pair of Adam a7x’s that I really like and do the majority of my mixing on (similar price range), and I recently heard some kali in8’s that I was impressed with. The kalis are only $1k for the pair…

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

That budget is in between the entry level zone and more serious studio monitors. For what you are looking for, JBL308P or Kali LP8 should be fine, or HS8 (if you like clearer mids), or maybe IN8 or Evo 80. Or LYD8 or T8V (if you like AMT tweeters and crispy highs). Watts/SPL (continuous) and low fre

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
