I have them and the focal cams 50 and I can say they are not in the same level at all , the focal much more detailed clear and accurate , the kali are good for the price nothing more then that .
You completely missed the point about what a 3 way speaker is. You stated you've got the 5" subwoofer and then you've got your tweeter, followed by referencing the (crossover) split in the tweeter and the sub. You didn't once mention that actually a 3 way speaker has 3 drivers in it, the subwoofer, midrange and tweeter. And each unit is tri-amped, meaning there's 3 amplifiers, one for each. Completely undermines your ability to make a basic description of a product, let alone a review
Why? If you are saying that because of the proximity to the wall, thats precisely what the "boundary EQ" switches are for on this speaker. Unless you are saying there is something I'm missing about the current positioning of my speakers?
@@rooksmusic_ Proximity to the wall does mainly affect bass response, so no. The speakers are way to close to each other and way to 'toed in' (angle) which does hurt stereo image, sound stage and sweet spot. However, if you are happy with your setup, keep going.
gotcha, I mainly use the monitors for arrangement and general sound design and will use headphones for mixing and mastering as well as check through multiple reference sources. They are def toed in a bit much but I also lean forward when listening (not the best for my back) Ill likely move them off the stands and on stands of their own and further away in my next studio upgrade! I appreciate the comment and tip ;)@@legalize.brokkoli
@@rooksmusic_ I have the same Kali and they don’t have the proximity effect bass build issue being close to wall, yet use STUDIO ACOUSTIC PANELS WILL BRING THEM OUT MORE

@@rooksmusic_ the cms line are not manufactured but you can buy them at low price second hand and i think they are worth it even today

You might want to reconsider your speaker positioning. :p
