IN-8

Fwiw, Sony replaced their 5k/ea Genelecs with Kali IN-8V2s in most of their audio post rooms this past year. Apparently the audio leadership couldn’t tell the difference between the Genelecs and the Kalis in a blind test. On a personal angle, I work in 3x Atmos rooms with Genelecs and have a Kali At

I think for the money if you’re looking for a replacement in your budget, the Kali Audio IN-8 v2s are your best option. Paper cone, 3 way speaker with really good transient response and a very detailed midrange which a lot of speakers in the budget tier are lacking. I work in an Audio Post facility

Kali Audio IN-8. Best bang for the buck.

Personal experience here, nothing more: the Kalis are better than the Focals in terms of not hyping the highs, yes. You can see Klippel NFS measurements here. However, at a similar price point, you could grab a used pair of Neumann KH120As (the previous generation without DSP) and I think that's a b

Save up until you can afford ATC tier, or maybe KH310 or Adam S series, PMC, smaller Barefoot, PSI, Dutch and Dutch, etc. I heard someone saying on another thread how a major company was going to be using all Kali IN8 moving forward in their many post rooms over Genelec.

I have IN8’s and mix cubes in my studio. Love both of them. I paired my IN8’s with a Kali sub as well which is a game changer. Fantastic setup for the price. That said, you really need to make sure your room is treated. I built my studio and hooked all of my stuff up to hear what it would sound like

Not sure what your budget is, but check out the Kali Audio IN-8 v2. Best bang for the buck in the lower-mid price range.

Cheap, big/loud/enveloping, accurate/clean/lacking distortion. Pick two. You can't simultaneously defy the laws of physics and economics. Plus, the bigger the sound you want, the further away you need to be from it for the sound to gel. For cost efficiency with a bigger sound, JBL 308P or Kali IN8 a
