  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.

  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.

  We are mixing on the Kali LP-6. I love them, but would definitely love to upgrade to the 3-way version :) <br>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. &nbsp;Wonderfully marvelous!

  Well I just ran out and bought a pair after this video. I sonar worksed them &nbsp;and boom I&apos;m up. Fantastic so far. I am switched my Sterling MX8&apos;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!

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

  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. &nbsp;About to get a bigger room and these 3 ways may be perfect. &nbsp;Thanks again for all you do!

  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! &nbsp;And there is zero hiss. I have become an instant fan of Kali Audio.

  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 &quot;we the financed challenged&quot; into decent recording gear is priceless. Thank you. <br>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 !
