So i own the in5's, previously i had the LP6's first wave. A big improvement They are horizontally placed. I use an Adam sub7 subwoofer with them. I also use Sonar Works room callibration. In my configuration i think the subwoofer is much more complentary than it would be with LP6 2nd wave. The punch from the in5 is lovely. I find especcially with that classical orchestra with in5 you easily place every instrument where lp6 isn't. And in5 has much more space for accents where lp6 sounds like already full. For my needs the in5 is far apart from lp6 2nd wave. I'd recommend lp6's for beginners and low budget though! In5 is next level.
It is hard to judge based on these videos but the IN5 gives a better insight into the transients of the song, this is especially noticeable with the song "Man on Fire". It also sounds a bit more composed compared to LP6, albeit sounding a bit more muffled in the low mids but that may be due to the room characteristics - the IN5 should by all means be a better monitor of the two, objectively speaking. I'm listening through Neumann KH310's.
in5 sounds muffled, more orderly in the bass zone, since the woofer is smaller, it is logical, but muffled, it does not project. Lp6 sounds more open, the sound is projected, you feel the space, but the bass is a bit uncontrolled, it could be the room, I don't know.
I have a fully treated purpose built garden mixing studio, approx 4.5 x 3.5m. I have a pair of Kali IN-5's strapped to a Kali WS-6.2 subwoofer giving me a 4-way system for about £1500 and it sounds incredible! 😎
Lp6 sounds pleasant but this is not obviously good for mixing. Kali made mm6 based on lp6 meaning it is good sounding all-rounder. A good monitor speaker has to show where the problems are. I would likely prefer lp6 for composing, guitar practice or music listening and in-5 for mixing
Finally the one Ive been waiting for! Thanks for this DS Listening on AKG K712 headphones: IN-5 definitely better in the bass and low mid region. Tighter and more control there. Everything from mid and down have better separation on IN-5 LP6 sounds overall flatter and due to that I can hear some details in the high end on the LP6 that gets buried in the IN-5 Other than this , the differences are not much to my ears. @DS , which one did you prefer?
Thank you for the video very helpful. Let's be honest, these are both great studio monitors. 10 years ago the likes of these awesome speakers were just not available for this low money. That said, I think the INI 5's are a better buy, nicer high mids and high end. The high end roll off on the LP6's is lacking and they sound a fraction harsh in comparision. I'd perfer to be mixing on the INI 5's for the day. But can't go wrong with either. The over all size I find a little discouraging especiall if your like me and have little space but super company and super monitors both of them. Me I'd buy the INI 5's just better overall transitions frok Low's to mids. If you need more bass add a sub no big deal.
Seems IN-5 is restrained and recessed as compared to the LP6V2 which seems fuller and forward. But I'm sure IN-5 has more detail and better for mixing and I would mind just getting it for long term, only if it was 1.2 to 1.5 max the price.
I did a shoot out at Gc and they sound the same as in tweeter the bass seems subjective but the noise was lower and makes for a better high end. I am getting a pair and I still own ax7s ,hs5, and Kali will be my 3rd pair
Putting the speakers on a desk on some foam bases (that's what they look like) don't think it's the best way to listen them. I would use a pair of speakers stands with floor spikes to have better precise bass response and some less mid-low coloration. I know many peoples use monitors directly places on their desk, but you will make us hear more (or less) evident and objective differences if you record your tests on 2 separate stands. M2C. thanks and keep up with the good job!
Yeah, I put my Kali's on 2" foam Pads, then 1" sponge, Dampened nicely, and Kicking ass. V1 here, all cleaned up and are amazing. Tactile, Impactful, OMG imaging and my low register hits 43 HZ clean, no distortion or floor noise. Then it Hits, such a fulfilling thump thats tight and dampened, with authority.
why am I listening to this I already ordered the in-5 and don't have the space for the lp-6 anyway thanks as usual I would say the in-5 sound better for most genres I guess I'll know soon I didn't even realize the in-5 were more expensive when I ordered them heh thanks comments not like I have a choice my giant screen ate all my desk space
Listening on my neumann kh120 and sennheiser hd650 i dont know what to say. Lots of hard work put there in the channel no doubts kudos but i dont know what is the use to listen to speakers recorded through a mic that then goes to other speakers or headphones, differences and nuances in tonality will be completly different from the reality like recording an hd movie from a tv screen into an iphone camera smh...
Do you have songs commonly we listening in flac/wav/dsd to test this speakers. Same music/tracts using in testing of many speakers. No proper voices, electronic musics, very very difficult to decided the quality of the speaker.
Los lp6 son increíbles la única diferencia grande que se aprecia en el los medios grabes que lo in5 están mejor balanceados y consistente en lo lp tiene como un bajada pero los medios están muy bien conseguidos tb en los lp , valen más la pena los lp cálida precio pero los in5 ganan por muy poco 😏 También note algunas resonancias extrañas en los lp6 por el corte de frecuencia al ser de 2 vías algo que el in5 no pasa pero como dije por el precio están muy bn 👌 si quieres lo mejor y no tener esos detalles, bueno ve por los in5 🔥🤭 pero todo tb depende del nivel que tengas y lo entrenado que estén tus oídos. Y algo a favor los lp6 me gusta más el brillo es más relajado y suave que en lao in5 que lo siento un poco duro fatigante en comparación con los lp6
LP-6 wyglądają na wykresie tak, jakby potrzebowały podbicia +2 górnych częstotliwości z automatu. Mógłbyś pokazać jak reaguje np. LP-6 na kolejne ustawienia Equalizera?
@@Bumper210 Juz nie mam. Oddałem je, bo czegoś im brakowało w okolicach 6-8k. Wróciłem do Focali 65. Wczoraj słuchałem LP8 v2 i wg mnie grają lepiej od lp6, niestety skrzynki od tych kali są mega cieniutkie, a szkoda.
Hey man, thank you for your hard work. I need you to try the Razer Nommo Pro since they're on top of my list as well as the Adams A3X. Thank you 1000 if you can arrange that. Bye
@@DSAUDIOreview Yeah I've heard the Nommo as well and they are of course crap given the price tag. But chances are the pro version (500$) could be another planet with the right audio tweaking (they have a software eq) since it's made of different woofers and electronics. There's people with B&W speakers praising them a lot for their price. I would love to hear them.

LP6 seem more open, immersive and reverby.. somehow more relaxed. IN5 seem more closed in, flat and dry. Listening on Earfun Free Pro Oluv Edition

In real life the differences are very minor in favour of IN-5
K712 is not a good headphone for bass referencing, they barely give any - I have K712Pro and I never use them for checking bass.
incredibly close, for almost double the price I don't really think it's worth it for the in5.
Would really like to see you compare Kali IN-5s with Eve SC205s!
I think blind test is better but I still love the comparison videos. I try not to look at what's playing but I usually see.
LP6 V2 is a clear winner. The 5 seems to lack 'melody' in the lower regions, like the base line disappears in the background.

In 5 have better high mids and high end clarity lp 6 sounds hollow
I tryed them in the music store,and my conclusion was the same.It was a hard competiton but finally I bought In5.
through my 306p both sounds very close to each other
The In-5s seem better for accuracy and the lp6 sounds more pleasant.
If I listen to this on my LP6’s, what have I learned?
That you saved $300 and got yourself a great set of monitors!😁
The IN-5 sounds like a clock radio to me. Missing high end information, probably due to the off axis response. The LP-6 is a much better value.
Do you have songs commonly we listening in flac/wav/dsd to test this speakers. Same music/tracts using in testing of many speakers. No proper voices, electronic musics, very very difficult to decided the quality of the speaker.

The microphone lies at how far away from the speaker for the test?
it is insaine how similar they sound. the in5 beats the LP 6 but not by a lot.
LP-6 V2 Good!
LP-6 wyglądają na wykresie tak, jakby potrzebowały podbicia +2 górnych częstotliwości z automatu.
Mógłbyś pokazać jak reaguje np. LP-6 na kolejne ustawienia Equalizera?
Ten dół to pomieszczenie, w którym absorbowane jest za dużo wysokich tonów. Podbicie wysokiego pasma o 2db raczej nie uratuje 15db doliny :D
@@byniasofficial2567 Widziałem po innych komentarzach, że masz LP-6, jak się sprawują w Twoim pomieszczeniu?

What's up with that high roll of in LP6? Is it the room? I had them for a month and also noticed they lacked a lot of high-mid freq.
That is mostly due to high dampening in the room
This video has put off buying lp6 or in 5 . Mmmmmm
is in5
is IN5 worth it? i doubt
could u do a in5 vs in8v2?
