My Home Studio Setup- Hoping That One Day I'm Gonna Make It

So my mixes used to be muddy and I had hs5's before this monitors (LYD 7). When I purchased these it revealed the truth thanks to it's revealing low mid range. As I get used to them I realized that the top end sounds softer than I like so I calibrated it with sonarworks and they ended up with being

Recommendation: Smallest, least expensive audio device/amp to do a synthesizer justice.

Gotchya! So I think that’s a tough price point. If I were in your position I would highly consider a cheap pair of monitors under your budget or save more money up. For cheaper I like the mackie cr3.5 ($100) or cr4.5 ($130) — personally I’d stay away from the presonus ones in that price range, based

Am I stressing too much over trying to get a perfect phantom center?

Kali's are pretty much against the short wall with the desk centered. Tweeters measured 3'6" apart with me sitting 3'10" from each one. Materials on all sides are made of rockwool safe n sound with them being positioned at the same measurements on both sides. Room is treated but without clouds. Issu

Tempted to go from Focal shape 65 to Kali IN8V2, please talk me out of it guys

I've just got the EVE Audio EXO 27, I tried to Kali IN8V2 (got a loan pair in my studio for a few days), they're impressive but to me it didn't have the high end clarity that the EVE Audio has. The Kali sounded cheap to me. I know the Focals and they're good monitors, but to switch to Kali - no. Ver

Speaker placement advice

An ideal room—or at least a functional one—should be properly acoustically treated and meet minimum size requirements. Ideally, the space should be symmetrical (at least from left to right) and should have no parallel walls to prevent standing waves. Soundproofing is also a necessity to minimize int

Kali IN8 vs SM8?

I just sold my IN8's. Like you my room is, if not excellent, very good. To keep it short, I was disappointed in them. Both in performance and build quality they were a step or two down from my Mackie XR824's. I thought due to them being a 3-way monitor and all the hype they would be better than they

Adam a7v vs Kali audio in-8. What should I buy for my home studio?

For starters my home studio is extensively treated. I was a little disappointing in the IN-8' Wave 2's for a few reasons. The build quality/fit and finish were lacking. Not bad by any means, but more of a budget look and feel in person and not nearly as good as the Mackie XR824's they temporarily re

iLoud MTM MK2 vs Genelec 8010 — which for a small untreated room?

You might not blast the speakers but you do want to consider how much headroom they have without distortion. I'd say another worthy though pricier contender might be the Neumann KH 120 II. I'd take those over the Kali which I think suffer from a lot of self noise. Not sure if that problem was solved

Studio upgrade help needed. I want to buy new monitors.

Thanks for this answer. I'm actually looking for something more "bass-focused" so maybe an 8" woofer might be the case here. But also, since I'm willing to spend 1200/1500€ i would like to know if there's something more precise and detailed. I was looking for the kali in8 and also the adam t8v but i
