I have to admit that I like "imposing"
Distance vs diaphragm size = presence.
(which is why I also have the Presonus StudioLive 315ai as my front surround trio)
I'd just add that, from my listening tests with the Kali IN-8, moving back & forth between my usual distance of around 0.5m and...
Um, yes... Which ones?
Anyway, measurement graphs aside - I can say I've done extensive direct A-B comparisons between the brilliant Presonus Sceptre S8 (2-way coaxial), the Kali IN-8 (3-way semi-coaxial) and the KRK 10-3 (3-way non-coaxial), among others. Distance was at 1.5 metres in a...
Strictly speaking, even the IN-8's don't technically have enough bass, in that they don't hit the lowest registers.
I've also compared them to the KRK 10-3, and the difference in bass depth is unmissable.
(The KRK 10-3 is also fantastic and underrated - but the IN-8 simply has more transparent...
Hi there.
If you look up my profile, you'll see quite a few posts regarding my experiences with the IN-8's.
They are INCREDIBLY good - especially for the money.
Very high-end professional applications are A-OK with these.
I also want to add that they're FRONT-ported - A very underrated...
I've been doing this for some time now in my edit suite. Computer connects via USB to an SMSL M-500, then balanced out to powered Kali IN-8s. It's supremely transparent.
I keep hearing different things! o_O
My understanding was that if a soundtrack is, for example, a simple 5.1 track, then it can upmixed to all channels with Neural-X (maybe other formats too???).
See around 3:50 in this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8WTEVA-Sz4&t=353s
Hi all. Considering an AVM70 and really want to use Front Wide channels in my new room.
Hoping that it'll be a similar improvement to 7.1 vs 5.1.
Can anyone confirm that the AVM70 can definitely upmix ANY 5.1 or 7.1 source (DD, DD+ TrueHD, DTS-MA, etc) to include Front Wides as per 3:50 in...
Thanks! Considering the specs required, it looks like only the Marantz AV7706 or the Monoprice HTP-1 are comparatively priced.
The HTP-1 looks to be superior in pretty much every way, so I guess it's down to that or the AVM70...
That definitely makes sense, but I honestly haven't heard any significant phasing difference. Really just imaging, which can be corrected with toe-in.
I'll eventually get to using some proper measurement and correction with REW or whatever else. But in the meantime, the IN-8s are superb. My only...
Just tested at 0.5m. Negligible difference (although theoretically not recommended;)
Bottom-end is extremely tight and focused.
I should also add that my room treatment could be better, and my IN-8s are (temporarily) just 20cm from the wall behind - NOT ideal.
On the forums, I do see a lot of...
Just for the record, I used to have three KRK 10-3 G2s as L-C-R's, paired with a Marantz pre-pro in two different setups.
Largest room was 4.5 x 7m. Distance to MLP was a bit over 3m in both setups.
Didn't bother with a sub at the time.
Incredibly clean, accurate, full-range sound. Vastly...
Hear here.
I had the KRK 10-3 G2 a few setups ago.
Make no mistake - it's an incredibly underrated monitor and NOT to be judged along with the rest of KRK's Rokit range, as it's a very different design.
And yes - no issues using them as near-fields.
I'll be happily buying the 10-3 G4...
