I've had the Kali IN-5 now for 3 years. Solid reference mix and master source.

[@djrobtech]

It's a win for the Tannoys for me. I'm super impressed with them! Can we have Tannoy Gold 5 vs Focal Alpha Evo 50?

[@mestenebres]

Today the courier brought me my Tannoy Gold 5. I connected them and I am very happy with my purchase.

[@leandroleitao1406]

Compare 3-way studio speaker, like: -Eve Audio Sc307 -Dynaudio LYD-48 -KRK Rockit RP10-3 G4 For exemplo. Good work

[@RichardVu9869]

I am suprised that Tannoy G5 win (2way) vs even Kali in 5 (3way). Thanks so much

[@djtrets]

kali audio felt like they had been covered with a blanket, as a tannoy owner i can say that it is not just the frequency response but how dynamic these speakers sound, just pay attention to the separation between low mid and high frequencies

[@MediaMusik777]

tannoys are amazing but expected coming from a/b amp on highs and lows

[@Fevarent]

Can we have a LP-6 vs IN-5, or LP-6 vs Eris E5XT comparison?

[@user-hy4xz1qt9h]

Kali got bodied but the Tannoy... the transient response is on a different level. you can literally hear the Kali choking in the first example if you pay attention to the kick

[@OnlyCi]

Tannoy gold 5 vs Fluid FX50 please :(((

[@NKML_CF87]

02:46 - 03:51​ Deep (tell me what song is playing)

[@jcpuga]

Listening on Senheisser 600s. Commenting on "The Making of Thumbs Up" source track. The changes I would personally make to the bass were much more revealing in the Tannoys. Same for the snare on "DEEP". Same with the Jazz Con Cajon song...I personally don't like so much air on that mix. And the Kalis did not reveal that higher frequency detail like Tannoys did.

[@highgaugedesign]

I am biased towards the single coaxial type driver. Can't afford the KEF. I will consider getting the tannoy Gold

[@djrobtech]

Tannoy Gold 7 are perfect man! Loving them!

[@DJMikeron]

Get the Tannoy Gold and a DAC i have the hooked up to a ifi zen signature DAC mid blowing with an amazing wide sound stage. KEF LS 50 lost the Duell

[@poorlytang6339]

Source is a always a win for me. Everything else is dependent on your environment.

[@TigroGumi]

Why didn't you compare these with the gold 8's?

[@TigroGumi]

A 3 way 5 4 and tweeter is more comparable to a 8 inch two way

[@MustacheVerra]

Love Tannoy but Kali is much closer to the source here.

[@SilverWX]

Can you test numan MK2 ?

[@Leo_Vulkan]

Although this kind of test does not sound as accurate as a real life test does, Kalis sound totally off to the timbre. Tannoy at less than half the price sound more accurate and true to the original timbre of the music played.

[@alik1dio]

Kali Audio мне показались с более открытым звуком, т.е. с более широким динамическим диапазоном. А Tannoy более зажаты, как бы закомпрессированы, но тембрально ближе к оригиналу. Слушал через пульт в моно. Логическое сравнение лучше слушать 1 колонку, imho.

[@1qiq]

Как раз выбираю между кали и танной. Мозг пухнет просто. Кали ещё и дороже будут раза в полтора.

[@markgriskey]

thanks for this

[@DT-yt2zh]

The Tannoy fall apart on the Metal Head track and sound scratchy and hollow. Really quite terrible by comparison to the Kali. At $240 less expensive than the Kali, it shows here. For some genre's the Tannoy will be fine, but clearly for others they are not well matched. Get the Kali if budget allows.

[@cryptogames6829]

Presonus r65 pls)

[@carnalcarnivore]

IN-5 destroys Gold 5 in mid and low range, but generally Tannoys sounds more closer to original track.

[@tradehut2782]

Tannoys sound broken compared to the in5. IN5 mids sound so much better. IN5 lacks air though.. Pls do IN5 vs Focal next

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

Edifier wins! Oh sorry, no Eds here. My bad. Ill keep walkin.

[@NKML_CF87]

kali 3👏👏👏

[@TigroGumi]

There's more detail coming across in the Kali's but they always have this recessed high mid top end which I found annoying to mix with... you could never get a song sounding like a song and for that reason the translation was never perfect. They would win over hearing what a compressor is doing better, but it's too easy to push stuff to get it sounding balanced which for that have gone Tannoy's in a Atmos setup over the Kali's any day as they will show what the song is actually doing rather than trying to give more transient detail with a sacrifices that defeat the purpose of what you gain. Better the Tannoy's and say a pair of Verum 1 headphones to understand what is happening in the details. That would be a A/B setup where both are a relative cost to each other to make sense. A Topping Pro - E2x2 OTG as a interface and make sure you have your acoustics covered also... speakers for mixing are worthless without proper acoustic treatment, and you will be golden. A flat response isn't meant to sound flat as such, you are just meant to hear the balance of the finished song, not add to it, so flat is not even a none audiophile thing, it very much is... but the Kali's seem to try to sound flat rather than be flat. I did find them to be quite clear myself when I owned them, but what you gain in it being a little clearer you lose in the tonal balance. Plus you do not miss detail in the Tannoy's, I would not say there is less detail, I would have compares the Kali's the the 7 or 8 Golds for a more comparable speaker adn it would then be more obvious... the detail is there, you just get distracts more by everything standing out that should... once you start to listen to things individually to edit them, then you can then concentrate easier on the transient details. I then use a set of Verum 1's planar headphones to hear details within a entire track... but for overall translation I still need the Tannoy's. The reason why they will be good for the new studio build when my main stereo monitors will be the MUM-8's is when you mix Atmos you simply make all parts sound as best as you can rather than trying to shape them to fit together and the main process of Atmos mixing is placement and movement so you really just need speakers that sound as you like top hear music. With the new algorithm for fold down, I find Atmos mixes folded down always sound better than my stereo mixes and now I just record a folded down stereo file and master that for stereo uploads. I'll soon have the MUM's so I can make parts really sound as best as they can, I will save my thoughts on if I later want a Atmos setup built entirely using the MUM's but for now I feel like I will be happy for a long time before needing to make any upgrades. That is until Atmos mixing starts to have new formulas that require the need to hear more. It's very new now and you have to think back to when stereo came out and bands used it completely wrong... such epic bands as the beetles for instance.

Kali is better sound, more rich.

[@benjoe999]

more rich is not good. we are pointing to neautral~accurate

[@valtercarvalho7149]

@@benjoe999 Ok..accurate. I´m portuguese

[@王竑哲]

kali fuller，tannoy squashed

[@peterpixo]

Hmm... love the design, but in every comparison the Tannoys sound worse :/
