As you know we love our Kali Audio LP-6’s and we use them everyday. Well, Kali has done it again, and their latest IN8 studio monitors are 3-way and fully powered!
I’m excited about this because at Kali’s price point of only $299 for the pair of LP6's, I really didn't think they could make anything better.
Considering what I love about the LP-6’s, the IN8's seem like the next logical step up; and I really like the idea of the three-way speaker!

    @@simpleidindeed yes, the mid driver is acting as a moving, oscillating waveguide which introduces some distortion for the tweeter. Genelec has tried to minimise that problem in their "the ones" line by extending the immovable area around the tweeter, essentialy adding more plastic around the inside of the mid driver cone. But, the pros of eliminating the phase issues of seprate drivers on a single baffle is far greater, espetially at this price point.

    Hi Warren, thanks for your review. By the time you test IN8 in your room, you also work with 1032, would you give me a more detail thing how about their difference in sense of detail & depth? I am a 1031 user till now, although i’am just a hobbyist that not everytime siting in front of monitors and we both in different room, i just work inside my bedroom that has no acoustic treatment, just a lil bit luck my room’s dimension are in the Bonello Graph recommended criteria and placed with common studio speakers placement guide. From your honest conclusion, will it be worth switch to IN8 from 1031?

    Thanks Warren! A lot of times I don't remember to enter. The You Tube app updates are not letting my iOS screen reading device into the expanded description box, or personal settings for the last month or so. I've written the developers at least two times with the specifics because it used to work. I can however leaf back through emails for the enter links as a workaround. I'm just saying what's happening with it here, so other peeps who also are having this same thing where voiceover skips everything before the word "catagory" can know the workaround as well, and might also write the developers by way of the "Apps" program, and mention the built in tool included in the Apple developer tools, near the end. It's a simple tool, if people are aware of its existence. I'm guessing the developer crew has changed a little. Lots of the rest of the You Tube app is working. Including 🤞🏻*crosses fingers* :) Signing off from an iPhone 6, 😎🥳 Happy new monitors!

    Im considering buying the IN-5 or the LP6. The IN-5 are a little outside my price range but it's manageable. My only concern about the IN-5 is there physical size. I really want to downsize in speaker size and the LP6 would fit better in my rig and my room size, plus its cheaper. A lot of people complain about the Class D amp hiss, but coming from KRK RPG2 im used to hiss by now. I never notice it when playing music. My KRK's i bought back in 2012-2013 and for 4 years i was out of state and didnt have them with me. My family stored them in a barely insulated attic in western new york for a couple years then into a storage unit and they definitely got damaged from temperature and humidity changes. They have lost a ton of high end and sound so muffled and muddy, so its time to replace them. Warren what do u suggest i get? My budget is realistically around 500 usd for a pair, but 700 would be manageable with some extra time. Also keep in mind that my room is not treated yet so every penny i can save from gear purchases with help me invest into treating my space. I am no professional, but music is my life and passion, and just want a good sounding rig for what i can afford

    As always thank you Warren and team for the content you put out there! So my question is that if going with something like a Kali is fairly impressive why would the mixing community even consider speakers such as 5K Genelec's or 8K Treo Be 11's which I believe you mix on? If the consumer base is in essence on ear buds, headphones and Bluetooth based speakers and are listening in mono or 2.1 stereo this seems a bit of a law of diminishing returns. I am trying to understand this as I originally worked on Rokkit's and Yamaha HS series speakers (which I sold - great speakers for the price) and am close in my search to upgrading to a different speaker set (the 1032C is actually one of the contenders). If 5K was the budget would it be better to save the 5K and go with different components such as better preamps, guitar / head options and the plethora of other massive amounts of options? Right now I am mixing on iLoud MTM's as a bridge. PS. I am removing the Atmos / Cinematic (5.1 / 7/1 and beyond) stuff from my question. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

    Following back up as I have got my research down to Dyn Core 7 vs Adam S2V vs Genelec 8340 (all with their subs). Is this a big fat waste of money and just go with Kali's? Are speakers such as this in essence excess and not much better?

    Kali's official position is that burn-in time is a marketing gimmick. When we power test our speakers, we see no appreciable difference between a speaker that's been running at full tilt for 100 hours and one that's being played for the first time.

    I love coaxial monitors. I truly believe coaxial design is superior to the standard tweeter on top of woofer design even with the compromises which these days can be mitigated with wave guides and dsp. Im very happy Kali made the IN-8 because it seems that coaxials just never really take off. Look what happened to Equator Audio. The IN-8s look nice however im not sure these are going to sell very well and its because of their price and specs. The IN-8s are very similar to another failed studio monitor called the M Audio M3-8 that I actually owned for a short time. Visually they look very similar with a small mid range and tweeter coaxial combo on top of an 8 inch woofer. However many things are different. The kalis use a 1, 4 and 8 inch driver. The maudios use a 1, 5, and 8 inch driver with the tweeter in a wave guide. Here is whats weird to me. The m audios larger 5 inch mid crosses higher at 450hz vs the kali smaller 4 inch that crosses at 330hz. This means the kali mid has more excursion yet there is no wave guide for the tweeter. So the m audios not only have less movement around the tweeter but a lot of it is mitigated with the wave guide. Why dont the kalis have a wave guide? Another spec I want to compare is how low the monitors play. Kali manual says 45hz at -3d and 37hz at -10db. I usually see similar specs for 6.5 inch monitors. The m audios say 40hz but dont state the db. Many 8 inch monitors I see these days state 35hz at -3db. Overall I think this is the least important spec because the distance from the rear wall severely alters bass response but still is something interesting to note. The next specs I wanted to compare is amplifier power. The kalis have a total of 140 watts and the m audios have a total of 220 watts. 140 is sufficient but these are mid field monitors which means they need more power than near field monitors. And comparing weight, the m audios weigh 5 pounds more per speaker. Im guessing this is because of the bigger amp, and drivers with larger magnets. Maybe the cabinet is a little thicker or has more bracing as well. The last thing that I noticed about the kalis is the placement distance from the listener. The manual calls for 2.8 meters. Thats 9.2 feet. These are not designed to be used on a desk or even a console. These are mid field monitors that should be on stands or mounted on a wall. Im guessing the reason they need to be so far away is so the woofer crosses over correctly with the midrange since the tweeters are supposed to be ear level. With a basic 2 way design, many times you can simply raise the monitor so the woofer is ear level making the tweeter farther away from the woofer therefore giving proper time alignment of the drivers. With this coaxial design you cant do that. You are forced to move the speaker farther away so the woofer can be in phase with the mid and tweeter. Which then I wonder, does this defeat the purpose of this speaker being coaxial? When a speaker is so far away can your ears really notice if its a coaxial design? I think there is still the benefit of coaxial design but the benefit becomes smaller the farther you move the speaker away. And last but not least, price. The M audio were marketed at 700 a pair while the kalis are sold for 800 a pair while being lighter, having less power, smaller mid range, and no wave guide. Now heres the crazy thing. The m audios have been discontinued. You can still find pairs on ebay. Denon owns M audio and Denon makes a twin copy of the M Audo M3-8 called DN508S. They look a bit different but the specs are exactly the same. Denon says they are the same. And guess how much they cost, 270 a pair brand new today.

    Hi John! This is a personal opinion, and I am obviously TREMENDOUSLY biased, so take it with a grain of salt: vs. LP-8: IN-8s are the superior speaker. More depth, better imaging, better dynamic range, lower distortion. All other factors being equal, if I were choosing between the two, I would only choose the LP-8 if I couldn't afford IN-8, or if I were intentionally looking for a more entry level speaker as a reference. vs. A7X/KH80: These speakers are a different beast. The advantage that the IN-8 will have (over any two-way speaker) is that the coaxial structure eliminates off-axis lobing, so the imaging in IN-8 will be better.

So I figure I'd ask you for another tremendously biased answer so that I can hear what I want to hear and make an impulse buy.. gotta love confirmation bias! ;) Anyway, I really like speakers with detailed up front mids. I'm guessing these have that? I have a pair of event opals, and they are fantastic to just listen to music on, but mixing is difficult because the mids are so mellow. I have to do so much on the ns-10 and my ears hate me for it. Would you say these have a mid forward quality? that's what I'm looking for. thanks

    Wouldn't recommend it! The waveguide is made to be used in the vertical orientation, so the imaging will not be as good with the LP-6s or LP-8s on their sides. The IN-8s can be on their side with no problem.
