[@AlexeySolovievMusic]

I use Yamaha HS8 but of course would like to try something new, especially when you say Kalis are good on low end. My monitors have lack of low end so I mostly mix and master in Blue Lolas headphones :)

[@tgm2tgm137]

WARREN, ERIC, Why do you not decouple your monitors from the counsel with at least foam or isopads?? Are you not hearing the counsel with them sitting right on it??? Please reply as this goes against everything I have ever read on this. I would like to understand your thinking ..., thsnks

[@chetti8432]

I use spirit absolute 2 speakers with upgrade tweeters with sonarworks. I am totally well over due an upgrade. They have served me well though.

[@gbfusion]

I've been using IN-8s for six months and love them. I remember being worried about the hiss before I got them, but the very minor hiss hasn't been an issue at all. It doesn't even enter into the equation when I am mixing. If I needed more monitors, I wouldn't hesitate on IN-8 v2.

[@paulchris5637]

I purchased the Kali IN-8 V1 monitors almost a couple years ago. I watched your video on them & I totally agree with you. There's nothing wrong with the original version. They are just as smooth. I was just in Nashville weeks ago with the artist I currently play for & the producer who is producing him is a very well known person (he's produced some major hits). He couldn't believe that the demo of one of the songs (a song that my artist wrote & we the band recorded) was done at a home studio, on live drums (no samples), and mixed thru mid price monitors (Kali IN-8 V.1). He complimented me, by asking "Why wasn't I in Nashville working in a major studio as a recording & mix engineer?" Whether or not he meant it or not, I really appreciated the compliment. And thank to your video on the original Kali IN-8's, I have heard a major difference in my mixes. Prior to the Kali purchase I was mixing thru the JBL LSR4828P monitors. Which also brought my mixing up to a new level until they were stolen back 2019.

[@michaeltablet8577]

I bought the Kali LP6 after your review a couple years ago. Still in love with them. They are perfect for my small mixing room. About to get a bigger room and these 3 ways may be perfect. Thanks again for all you do!

[@Producelikeapro]

That's wonderful to hear!

[@nickhenretty1282]

You were one of the people that convinced me to get the LP-6s, and I love them! Hope to be able to upgrade to these one day

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Nick!

[@mrelegoboy]

Same here!

[@EasyHeat]

I sprung for the LP8S. Had I known I would currently be mixing in an apartment? I probably would of stayed with my first impulse of the LP6s. Still? I absolutely love them, and the added low end helps as I currently experiment with standard C and baritone guitar work. Absolutely brilliant monitors for the investment. Congratulations on choosing an excellent pair of monitors! Cheers!

[@commontimeproductions]

We are mixing on the Kali LP-6. I love them, but would definitely love to upgrade to the 3-way version :) Also, I love the way that you are always the student as well Warren! Being able to admit that you would go back and mix it differently shows that you have grown as a producer while being sensei for so many of us. Wonderfully marvelous!

[@davidstojakovich2463]

Warren, I have been using a set of Kustom three way 50 Watt PA speakers. And Sony MDR-7506 headphones. The PA speakers colored the upper mids and don’t have a great bass response so lately have been mixing mainly with headphones. I just received my pair of the new IN-8’s yesterday and everything you said is true. Listening to my mixes on them I hear what needs fixing, immediately! And there is zero hiss. I have become an instant fan of Kali Audio.

[@peterzabriskie]

Warren I hope you as well are having a marvelous day! Touching bass from SBL again. The move from just retired to once again bass performance and recording is moving along well. I tell every musician I meet about PLAP. Your expertise in helping "we the financed challenged" into decent recording gear is priceless. Thank you. I was planning on buy a tiny Mackie pair of monitors, now I think the Kali LP-6(8) will fit the bill. Until I can move up to a better level like the Kali IN-8. 4 LIVE performances here in New Mexico in the last week and a half! Life and Music are Returning !

[@41Cavin]

I have Kali LP-6's and IN-8's in my studio now. I love the way they sound. I can only imagine how good the new amps are, but I have no problem with my current setup. Thanks for the review.

[@nickhyder9141]

is there much difference with LP and IN for improving mixes? I have LP6's and am upgrading. thanks

[@41Cavin]

@@nickhyder9141 There is a difference in sound. The IN-8's are more open sounding. I use them after I believe I've got my mix together to check balance and low end. I primarily mix through my LP-6's and Auratone's.

[@nickhyder9141]

@@41Cavin thanks! so in your experience, LP-6's are easier to mix on?

[@SMFilmStudios]

Well I just ran out and bought a pair after this video. I sonar worksed them and boom I'm up. Fantastic so far. I am switched my Sterling MX8's and I am very happy. Much more detail in the mids and the bass seem a bit tighter. I have been looking for some new monitors. Thank you Warren!

[@MarcosCerutti]

Thanks to you Ive got them a few months ago. I must say, that the clarity provided by these monitors are out of this world!

[@nxchol4s]

Just had a quick question for you Warren & here it is.....Do you think you'll be sitting in that same studio, behind that same console even after you're 70? Reason i asked was because you've accomplished so many great things in your lifetime & even till this day, you're still doing music. That just inspires me & motivates me so strongly knowing I'm not alone. I'm only 23 & music is what i chose to do for the rest of my life so seeing you still at it, gives me a huge sign of comfort & peace.

[@1KMPLX]

I have had these speakers for a little while now, but I wasn’t able to listen to them until today (Busy life). My friend and I checked them out and we were blown away. I was expecting them to be good, but I wasn’t expecting them to be that good. I should be getting the Kali sub this coming Monday. I will probably be a sleepless wreck with anticipation until then. lol

[@Producelikeapro]

[@stephenandreucetti5217]

Hi Warren another great informative video. I like a company that listens to the feedback from their customers and makes the improvements even if they are really good already, it says a lot about them.

[@kyleparfait61]

Funny enough I was waiting a while for these to be released, but I ended up going with another tier up (at least in price) to the Dynaudio LYD 48's and they are pretty incredible to me. I've been able to hear a new depth to the detail of reverbs, transients, and my mixes tend to translate very well compared to my previous very entry level system. Well done! I'd love to hear these Kali's one day and see how they compare!

Kali Owner here! Good: Kali Speakers have a good flat frequency response applicable for mixing. They sound better to my ears than other speakers from the similar price range. Bad: They have a hiss (about 100% buyers would say that). It's not too loud and something that may bother you, but there's a hiss. Secondly, my speakers occasionality turn off once in 3 hours (some other people report the same issue).

I love your channel . I started recording in 1979. With a Sony two track, then a Teac four track, then a Tuscan eight track, the a really old Studer sixteen track, then a twenty four track Studer A80. Now I am just on a MacBook Pro, high spec. I use, a pair of KRK, 6’s plus an original pair if Yamaha NS 10’s, plus an original pair of Auratones from 1980. I can’t afford a decent pair of monitors because of situations beyond my control. I would love a pair of Genlecs.

[@compucorder64]

I'm using APS Klassik 2020, from Poland, in my main home studio. But I use a pair of these in my project/rehearsal studio. The APS are physically a little better built, physically (better braced, damped, more sturdy, controls and connections feel sturdier) and the bass is tighter/more even, as they are barely ported. But for a little over half the price, the Kali IN-8 v2 overall sound holds up very well, and are absolutely killer sub 1000. I use the Kali IN-8 v2 with Ferrofish Pulse 16, and a bunch of Audient ASP800 pres. It's a really good value setup, and very expandable up to high channel counts. The Kali IN-8 v2 gives me reliable 3-way monitoring for incredible price. The Ferrofish has 16 line inputs, for synths, 4 ADAT inputs, and can be expanded with MADI or DANTE. At 50 eur a channel, unbelievable power and flexibility for the price, is reliable and sounds good too. Same with the Audient ASP800, with mic pre colour options, and great sounding clean clear preamps that work out 80eur per channel.

Nice, I had a pair of the originals for a month, they sounded pretty good but I didnt like the self noise cos i had them quite close to me, plus they were not very flat above 1k (I used Sonarworks on them which sorted it out) but with these improvements i reckon they will sound great now. I ended up going with Neumann's KH310's but they cost more than 3 times the price!

Currently using Kali LP-8s and an old set of Behringer MS40's. The LP8s are damn good for what they cost. I was on the fence with maybe replacing the MS40s with some Kali IN-5, but i am going to try the Focal ALPHA 50 EVO's as well I think in store if we ever get out of lockdown.

[@Chingston]

i had decided to go with the new Focal Alpha Evo 65's due to the everything i was hearing about the IN-8's self noise, but now that they have taken the time to listen to their customers, and address one of the only main complaints i've read about the IN-8's, I may now be back on the Kali bandwagon, and pick myself up a pair of these guys.

[@kaliaudio]

So good to hear!

[@billmuertos]

How are the Evo 65's? Can't find reviews of them anywhere. They aren't super budget like the older version were priced so it makes me hesitant to purchase them as Focal don't want to put any DSP into them.

@@billmuertos i never actually tried the focals. i just know focal is a very respected brand with top quality monitors, so i was trusting that a newly updated monitor would sound great. but Kali offering an 8" speaker in the same price range, while also updating their line based on customers reviews, makes me want to lean heavily in Kali's favor going forward.

They're rock solid and super reliable. I combine them with a very affordable subwoofer, a Presonus Temblor T8. Very happy with my setup.

[@AironExTv]

Up until early 2020 the Bluesky System One. 2.1. Loved that sound and found it perfect for my dialogue mixing work. Then one of my closest friends and a fellow dialogue mixer passed away suddenly(get your heart checked mate) and left me his KM120A speakers. I was already eyeing them as a replacement, so these have been my main speakers for the past year. Good low end that I sometimes supplement with a custom sub, especially when I‘m mixing for a 5.1 show. Smooth high end and mids. Workable all day which is one of my gripes with the midrange Genelecs(103x) which struck me as a bit too honest. I‘m definitely checking out the Kali IN-8 v2 in the speaker room of my local supplier, as soon as possible. They have KM120A speakers there too so a comparison without taking them home first is possible.

[@Thomas0661]

How awesome is this, here I am, looking for a new set of speakers. Going from Adam T7V, i was looking out for a pair of 3 way speakers with sub. I wanted a good review of the Kali IN8 v2 with the WS12 sub and what is this; One of my all time favorite youtuber doing a review of the exact speakers I was looking for… What a day, and what a set of speakers. Have a great day, and a fantastic future. All the best. Thomas

[@amusik7]

I must say that my experience with Kali would have been without problems. My LP-6 sound great, but two different speakers were shipped with broken amps that creates a small distortion noise after just few weeks of light use. This appears to be a common issue with products shipped to Europe. Its an absolute pain in the butt to be exchanging speakers. The speaker that I got as warranty replacement had the same issue. So the Kalis will no go to the home theater and I will get some proper speakers. I believe this is the true cost of affordable speakers: something has to give, there is no free lunch and it is manufacturing quality and durability or some components that are compromised. Next time, I will just buy something like Genelecs.

[@1KMPLX]

I’ve been wanting a pair of the Kali IN’s for a while now. I’ve had the same pair of ELESIS monitors for about 18 years (the ELESIS mk 2 active. They are a bit boomy, and not very detailed). I’ve been upgrading my equipment lately, but it takes time and money to build (plus, justifying these purchases to my wife and myself isn’t always easy). I used to mix and record pretty regularly between 2000, and 2012 (myself and local small time artists), but I have six kids and I had to redirect my energy and money. We are now in a place where I can start getting back into music again.

[@dustinthiessen]

Using LP-6 at the moment, which have come in handy this last 14 months or so... As a live guy who's now had to transition into more broadcast style mixing, I'm super grateful to have these, and they'll do me well until I can afford to drop a few thousand on something nicer

[@swedishvoice]

Hey Warren! Hope all is well. Thanks for a great channel and a very interesting video. Yes, I've been keeping these speakers in sight for a while, and it seems already the first version was a real bargain. The only "complaint" was that some engineers found them a bit noisy compared to other more pricy monitors. That wouldn't have bothered me though. I'm more interested in how the speakers translate the actual audio then how little nose they produce (within reasonable limits of course). :) Kali's update to V2 makes me really interested. I've put off making a speaker upgrade since I use Sonarworks (with my M-Audio BX8 Gen 2) and I'm quite satisfied with both the comfortability of the audio as well as the audability of the system. But with the IN8s I feel (know) it's going to be a huge leap of improvement to the setup I'm using today. MAudio and Kali are in different leagues, and the Kalis are 3-ways as well. So I guess the V2s are going to be virtually impossible to resist even for a contented guy liek me. :) Warm greetings from Sweden! / Daniel Vållberg

Under $1000 for a pair of fine 8" 3ways is a helluva QPR! 😉

I do all my recording/mixing on headphones, but have held off on mastering as I haven't any speakers. But, I have been looking into the Kali stuff as they are incredibly impressive with their price point.

Running HS7’s with the HS8 sub, in a smaller room than I’d like with tons of treatment from GIK, Sonarworks does some gentle sculpting of the remaining problem areas. I’ve used RoomEqWizard and sonarworks extensively to measure response and I found the most amazing thing I ever did was just to treat the room. Huge difference in RT60 and frequency response. If I didn’t have that it really wouldn’t matter much what speakers I had. With it I’m pretty happy with the Yamahas. Now however the question is what’s the next level of awesome!? I have to admit I really loved MDN’s video on this channel about his mixing setup so I’m trying to learn to maximize what I have before I move on but it does seem like some great stuff is out there when I’m ready for it!

Hey!! Quested S7s with SB10R

Appreciate all you do, I feel like speaker reviews are all the same. Which usually consists of the reviewer owning nicer high end monitors. Feel like a speaker review should consist of a mix that was done on their own set of speakers and then a mix done on the review. Seems like the only way we would get an understanding of how these translate? I know we can always just buy and return but that’s a pretty toxic footprint we need to get out of. Saying all this as i am searching for a proper 8” monitor solution without a sub. Again thank you for the video the continued information you share it’s appreciated more than you know.

Great on kali for updating these monitors

Crossing my fingers for these! Been looking for something with more detail and low end than my old 2nd gen KrK Rockit 5s!
