IN-8 2nd Wave : Kali In-8 are fantastic at this price range.

I bought these speakers after reading positive reviews of them, and also the other Kali powered monitors.

At around £650 for a pair these are the most expensive monitors I have yet bought (they are for a home studio). A three way design splits the bass and mid drivers which means these speakers have good lows and a clear mid-range.

I have used cheaper powered monitors (Yamaha HS5 and Mackie MR624) and these are definitely a step in quality. They are quite large and therefore I have them on stands around 1.5m from my listening position.

They go plenty loud enough and have sufficient low end that I don't feel the need to use a sub-woofer.

A great pair of speakers that I am really happy with.
