#26 Kali Audio IN-8 V2: $499.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: The IN-8 V2’s coaxial midrange/tweeter supports coherent imaging, and low distortion at ordinary levels complements its 6.54 ideal-subwoofer score. Measured -3dB extension of 45.4Hz provides useful bass; boundary settings assist placement.
Cons: The measured 3.0dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz includes unevenness that can make some vocals sound forward. Bass and limiter behavior constrain high-level playback. These measurements apply to the V2, not the first-generation IN-8.
How it compares: Just above it: Kali Audio LP-6 V2 - $101 cheaper. Just below it: Genelec 8050B - $3301 more, 130W more output power.
