For now, mixing only on headphones works, but I could sure use this new style monitor system to add to my headphones being in an untreated room. Here's hoping🤞You Rock! 🙌

    Since this design points the speaker straight to the engineer’s ear it may eliminate the floor reflection. But what about ceiling reflection?
    The reflection contributes to the resonant frequencies that makes up your room mode. Which then causes a dip at around 60hz to 120hz. You are perceiving less bass which will make you bass heavy when you listen to this mix on another speaker.

    I have this system and really like it. You do not "need" a sub but that really depends in what you "need" for your purposes. I use it for mixing but I also use it for playing guitar with bias fx and backing tracks as well as my main listening system for the past 8 months or so. It sounds great and I personally always felt the "need" for just a little more bass for my purposes. I didn't need huge bass so I went with the KRK S8 subwoofer to compliment this system and it is more than enough to fill out what was missing. So depending on your purposes you could very well not "need" a subwoofer but you might want one.

    the reason the high boost sounded bad is that a room should have a sloped frequency response. this is because the directivity of the sound is also sloped, so the in room response for a flat sounding speaker is sloped accordingly. tuning for a flat target will actually sound harsh.

    according to the pdf manual: "The bass unit handles all material below 280 Hz, and the two woofers are summed to mono.
    Harmonics above 280 Hz will allow even very low sources like bass guitar to be perceived in
    stereo." -- what were your impressions of low mid stereo width on the IN-UNF ?? Would there be any significant difference between this system and a pair of LP-6 in a similar tight triangle at ear height?

      @@Producelikeapro for the record your review of the in-8’s is what even put them on my radar. I was scrolling through reviews of the lp-8’s. after watching your video on those monitors I’m thinking to myself “yeah these seem promising” and then the very next video was your video on the in-8’s. At that point I still hadn’t heard of them yet. I’m really happy that video popped up when it did because it 100% changed my mind on what I was going to purchase.
      Again, cold dead fingers and all… my previous set of monitors was the presonus e44’s. After a few years of dealing with how badly they were lying to me it was time to upgrade. Honestly when I started the search I was prepared to spend $2k usd. I hadn’t even looked at what was available these days. So I didn’t even know much about kali just yet. You really saved me some money here!!! I cant thank you enough.

    Re Sonarworks calibration, is it possible that because of the upward firing angle and hyper directivity of the Kali speakers, any Sound ID sample point outside their unusually narrow sweet spot will be dramatically down in the higher frequencies, resulting in a large compensatory HF boost in the averaged calibration EQ?
