    I&apos;ve been using the Kali IN8 V2&apos;s for about 2 years now, and I have to agree with every point you made about them. For that price range, best I&apos;ve heard.

    Great video right off the bat mentioning very flat makes for good translating mixes! &nbsp;You don&apos;t want any frequencies accentuated in monitors when mixing!

    I have there Kalis. Loved the idea of 3way. I was laughed/sneered at by some of my snootier friends. When I got them I listened to mixes I had done on the Yamaha&apos;s and I had two re-sing some of them because I heard issues in my singing that were masked in the Yamaha&apos;s. Yamaha&apos;s are great, no problem , but wow that was really revealing..... literally.

    I love the Neumann KH80s. They are small but have the DSP built in and work well with the MA1 alignment software which helped me in my studio. I can also couple them with a KH805ii if I want extra low end. But the neighbours might say something else 👀

    THANK YOU!

    I bought a pari of Kali IN-5s a couple months ago, and &nbsp;I use SoundID Reference as well. Not disappointed.

    APS Klasik 2020 is the best 2-way speaker in the price range

    I have the first pair of HEDD 07 with the 300 watt amplifiers. They sound lovely and fun to mix with. This is the first pair of monitors ( including Genelec, Neumann, Yamaha, original Mackie 824) that I have never had to remix with. They translate beautifully and they are really fun to mix and master on!!

    Thank you!<br>Justin, I did want to ask you about something. You put the IN8&apos;s at the top of the list, but I noticed you didn&apos;t mention the IN5&apos;s. Was there an issue with the IN5&apos;s you encountered?<br>Oh, nvm, you mentioned them in the last minute. Lol<br>I also wanted to thank you for what you said about the HS series. They were so heavily pushed on all the top 5 lists in 2018-19 that I got the HS7&apos;s. I replaced them with the Alpha 65 Evos when those came out. If you&apos;re going to get HS series monitors, get the HS8&apos;s. They sound a little more even in the mids, flatter than its little brothers.<br>I was actually surprised the Alpha Evos made your list. I thought you&apos;d think they&apos;re too hyped like KRKs!
