Hope it satisfied your SPL requirements! I don't think I'd recommend anything non-coaxial anymore now that this one doesn't hiss. Can't think of many other things I'd include in my recommended upgrade path: Good headphones --> IN-8 v2 --> Phantoms if you can stand the app and don't want to add a sub for an upgrade --> Genelec coaxial monitors --> Add Genelec subs and use the Kali's as surround speakers.
Maybe if D&D or Kii make a coaxial unit... Or somehow sound so much better than my already flat Genelecs that I forgive them for their legacy design. With Buchardt making higher end active designs, I hope it's a matter of time before they release something to compete with D&D and Kii, and use a coaxial driver to beat them with in room response, imaging, and vertical dispersion.
Not sure if you're making a video on these, but I think it would be cool to talk about and compare coaxial drivers in general. Most people don't know that there are ZERO disadvantages beyond cost for all applications besides main monitors. Genelec has a whitepaper that talks about doppler distortion and diffraction being solved, and apparently they don't use them in high SPL applications because a coaxial unit limits the magnet size available to each driver and they get more SPL out of separate drivers and compression tweeters.
I still see people to this day talking about distortion with coaxials, and Charles Sprinkle just talked about that in the HiFi Summit video: Not an issue on their speakers/modern 3- ways that pay attention to it.
(Note: I'm extremely biased against non-coaxial speakers, and consider them only under budget constraints as they are in the same category as first order crossovers, lossy passive crossovers in general, all parallel walls in higher end speakers, speakers without waveguides that don't pay attention to dispersion, or amps not specifically chosen for individual drivers: Outdated legacy stuff, totally unacceptable by any modern company that says they play what the artist intended, have uncolored sound, etc.)
