Helllooo! What do you think about my test? Are you a user of Kali Audio? Planning to become one? Lemme know down below!

I think you should try the IN-8 or LP-8 vs some JBL speakers before buying. Would like to hear how good the speakers are vs what you have used / are using. Also for speaker placement, the narrowness of the IN-5 placement could contribute to the higher frequencies getting bumped. To make it more comparable you can do placement like this - AL BL then AR BR so that the distance between L and R for both speakers are the same.

my KRK rokit 5 G4 died....AGAIN so while I love their sound (EQ tuned to my liking) I'm not going through the frustration again went Kali IN-5 I really hope I won't be disappointed I listen to too many music styles to want "kick only" speakers altough my only "work" usage of them would be house deejaying I listen to movie scores all day long while doing other stuff

The Kali 6” double sub woofer is really good, you can switch it off with a foot switch which is really nice. Main problem I have is that I have a very small room so the front firing base ports are a must for me because my speakers are close against the wall. The problem with any near fields is lack of low end representation, in my opinion a sub is a necessity.

I have the LP8 and their 12 inch sub .. i love kali audio !!!

I have switched from A7V to LYD-7 and I think these are both better and much cheaper, their only con being the noise. And yeah - the highs were magnificent on Adams, goes without saying, but they also sounded hollow in mid range. Also, having these two made me realize that investing in room treatment is equally important as having monitors you like. I considered Kali Audio IN-8, but seemed like these Dynaudios were a grade higher, and also for nearly the same price when considering a B-stock from Thomann.

@@FoliaSound yes! And my needs is more towards acoustic and electric guitar. And vocals, so the IN5 sounds like the best choice. You agree?

When the woofer size is about the same (5-6" in this case), 3 way monitor is better that 2 way for any studio... If you wanna know why, just search for 2 way vs 3 way studio monitors!

I never denied this, that's also why I have KSD C88 in my studio. Consider the price difference though. LP-6v2 are still very good. Cheers!

Great comparison guide, I'm also looking for some bass traps, what are the ones you're using at the back of your room?

I have a fully treated purpose built garden mixing studio, approx 4.5 x 3.5m. I have a pair of Kali IN-5's strapped to a Kali WS-6.2 subwoofer giving me a 4-way system for about £1500 and it sounds incredible! 😎

I'm thinking of getting the IN8 paired with the adam audio T10s. Similar system to yours. Why did you prefer the IN5 over the 8 its 40$ diference for 3 inches bigger speaker? Is it because the IN 5 is more wattage therefore potentially more power?

Got in5s after owning lp6s for a year; to me it was a big upgrade, more in terms of accuracy rather than frequency response. I actually like the bass more on in5s, seems to be more accurate and immediate

I just got some used lp6 v2 and was watching movies on the tv. The bass was intense! As a violin player, you think in-5 would be more impressive for acoustic music? Thanks for the review! I can’t afford in-5 now but I really enjoy the LP6

Thanks for the great review. I have been let down by every 3 way I ever bought. Can you sit and listen to the IN-5 without constantly going back and forth tweaking this and that day after day after day.....never really satisfied?

I Against I - Massive Attack. I remember this song now from Blade II.

Aktualnie posiadam Adamy T5V, i mocno zastanawiam się nad kupnem Kali in-5 lub Eve audio sc205/7... Jak sądzisz ? będzie to dobry upgrade ? . Głównie chodzi o słuchanie muzyki z Tidal , spotify itp.

Question, where did you get those panels on your wall from?

thanks for great review , i subscribed to your channel , what's name of the song in the beginning of video ? it has a really nice kickdrum 😅

Hey, Mark! I believe you'll get more natural and full piano sound from IN-5. LP-6 are tending to hide the mids and their low end is not that important just for piano playing.

@@FoliaSoundthanks for your reply I appreciate it very much, I think you’re right yeah, also there are the in8 but maybe they’re too big to have near a piano etc.. and maybe overkill, but I do need a fairly decent amount of bass for piano to enjoy it, you’re definitely right about not needing a load of bass though exactly right, so as long as in5 have enough satisfactory bass they should be fine…

@FoliaSound

7 ай бұрын

Genelec - tak. Mackie - nie :)

Based on a Klippel measurements (found on a specific site), Kali LP6v2 is the best Kali speaker to date, beating their "IN" series. 3ways are usually preferable if low end is needed and theres no sub and/or higher SPL. LP6v2 has roughly the same F3 as IN8 so theres no point going for the latter.

Can someone use those studio monitors for home audio in a small room and listen 2.5 meteres away? Im asking about the 8 inch version.

If you take a proper 3.5 jack to 2x 6.3 TS jack, you should be good to go, but internal sound cards are definitely not recommended for pro audio work. Poor S/N and THD+N, latency issues.

Brother, pardon my American "bruskness" (no insult intended WHATSOEVER), please use REAL audio, rather than a Mario Brothers Theme Music. It' very distracting from the live points you are trying to make. In order to make audio points, we really need to hear what you've heard. Demonetization is a problem, sure, but first, make sure casual viewers aren't blowing you off for not being serious enough to have authentic "stimuli & response" going on...

Great video! Love the synths and setup doggins! *sad story alert* Just yesterday I had to let my 1st Gen Kali LP-8 monitors go for a ridiculous low balled offer due to me scrambling to financially compensate for my girlfriend's ongoing medical expenses. (Stage 4 CKD) 'Merica for profit healthcare right?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway... It definitely FN hurt, however a roof over one's head, love and companionship obviously takes more priority. With all that being said, and since my current workspace is in a modest 2 bedroom apartment? I honestly believe that the LP-8s were probably a bit too much for my space anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also the 1st Gen noise floor issue was definitely noticeable. So please let me try and wrap up this crazy long comment with an honest inquiry if I may? Question: What would you recommend as a placeholder/replacement pair within the just well under $400 range? Kali LP-6 V2? Yamaha HS4 KRK Rokit RP5G4 Personally for me? The brand new "affordable" Yamaha HS3 & HS4 models are really speaking, but the 1 class D powered + 1 passive design, gives me over glorified multimedia speaker vibes. Also, I'm not super keen on rear bass ports and the room placement node issues involved. Anyhoo... OMG this comment was long!!! My bad. My ADD meds obviously just kicked in. Ha! Cheers!
