    Kali Audio IN-8 Studio Monitor Review

    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...

    Kali Audio IN-8 Studio Monitor Review

    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...

    Kali Audio IN-8 Studio Monitor Review

    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...

    Kali Audio IN-8 Studio Monitor Review

    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...

    Anthem AVM70 Review (AV Processor)

    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.

    Anthem AVM70 Review (AV Processor)

    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

    Anthem AVM70 Review (AV Processor)

    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...

    Anthem AVM70 Review (AV Processor)

    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...

    Anthem AVM70 Review (AV Processor)

    Agreed... But what are the AVM70's real competitors at or near this price point?

    Kali Audio vs. Genelec for Home Studio?

    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...

    Kali Audio vs. Genelec for Home Studio?

    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...

    Kali Audio vs. Genelec for Home Studio?

    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...

    Kali Audio vs. Genelec for Home Studio?

    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...

    Kali Audio vs. Genelec for Home Studio?

    Still not a problem! If I sit right into my desk, I'm 70cm away from each monitor. Again - no issues whatsoever. The coax design does help slightly.

    Kali Audio vs. Genelec for Home Studio?

    That's a common misconception, unfortunately. I've used 5" monitors, right up to larger ones like the Presonus Sceptre, Kali IN-8s and even the KRK 10-3 (with and without subs) - all in a fairly small room at 1 to 1.5m to the MLP, and know of many sound studios that do similar. No problems...

    Kali Audio vs. Genelec for Home Studio?

    Once you've properly experienced it first-hand in A-B comparisons, it's game-over. You'll never go back to smaller drivers.

    Kali Audio vs. Genelec for Home Studio?

    I absolutely agree with that last sentence. Not nearly enough attention is given to the sheer "presence" of larger drivers. Also, rear-porting is often a deal-breaker in many setups. Why is nobody mentioning this either? As I said earlier, the IN-8 is an AMAZING monitor - especially for the...

    SMSL M500 - Owners' Thread

    3 questions: 1. From what I'm gathering here, this is the only upgrade I can do without opening up the M500, correct? 2. It unzips to an EXE file, which is PC only. How can I do it on Mac? 3. Is this legit...
