I have the Gen1 IN-8's and the LP-6's. I honestly can't see myself ever needing any other monitors. And yet, I'm still thinking of adding either LP-8's or IN-5's for live room playback. LOL PS, Glenn- The mid range driver is coaxial with the tweeter, not the woofer.
I've been mixing on the IN-8s for a few months now and I absolutely love them. In addition to their honesty with my mixes, I was surprised how much more obvious the acoustics issues in my control room got when I upgraded to these. New absorbers and diffusers helped tremendously and I'm very happy with the whole setup
I've actually had a pair of IN-8s for a year now, and I love 'em. Way less fatiguing than anything else I tried out close to their price range, and the option to turn them horizontal is ideal for my setup. One of the pair was DOA when it arrived, but Sweetwater fixed that for me super fast with no hassle (they one-day'd a replacement for me, and then let me return the defective one back with the RMA label/etc that they included with the replacement). 100% would buy again.
A couple weeks after the IN-5’s came out I decided to give them a try since I was in the market for new monitors. I absolutely LOVE them! Such a huge upgrade from my old pair of KRK RPG Rokit 8 2nd gen that I had since 2012 and were starting to fail on me. The Kali IN-5’s are a great pair of monitors and definitely worth every penny
Don't skimp on monitors, the biggest filter in the chain. They last a long time and the longer you use them the better you will understand their coloration. I use a set of Genelec 8030a I got off ebay over 10 years ago. They were used for an Olympics then resold to me at half price.
I bought my LP-6 monitors after watching many reviews including yours and I'm definitely impressed, mixing and playback of them are absolutely awesome 100% satisfied for the bang for the buck affordable monitors, I definitely recommend!!! I'm also in an untreatedroom which makes certain frequencies hard to hear. DO NOT FRET!!! You can make clear mixes with them!!!!
@@KelticKabukiGirl Even if the stuff can be recycled, some 80% of what people put in for recycling doesn't get recycled! It's one huge scam! Most of it ends up in landfills!
@@Bob-of-Zoid I have a Bachelor's degree in Environmental science and History. As well as an associates in Business. I am aware of what can and cannot be recycled. And I would bet $1,000 the recycling programs in Canada are better than here in Dumbass America. Also, some refuse collectors use clean burning incinerators that also power the plant and surrounding areas and catch all metals that can be recycled. Metal is EXTREMELY recyclable. The plastic on that table top could be repurposed or definitely shredded for pellets. I could have used the top as a work bench cover or a ton of things. The Metal could be taken to the scrap yard with a few of my dead appliances and actually make a few dollars for the trouble. Especially now that the supply chain is fucked due to the pandemic. Don't believe everything 100% there are always variables.
Glen when you placed the monitors on their side, I noticed you placed them so the sub was "inside" and the tweets "outside". is there a specific reason for that?
Glen has mastered the art of the unboxing video! Concerning the table debacle I offer a quote from a famous philosopher of the early 21st century: "Spend the money, you cheap F#@k!"
Got the IN5s a few months ago and they are awesome. There's a little hiss when nothing is playing, but when there's audio flowing they sound great. They are certainly not light though as the table found out.
OMG, I got the LP6 at your recommendation and boy are they the cats meow. Accurate, deep, powerful, versatile. I don't notice any hiss that some talk about. Thanks for helping me pick the perfect affordable monitors on the 1st shot.
Glenn, you have to admit this video was more about the table than about the monitors. Well, at least half of it... :)) Thanks a lot for the review and also for the great laugh!
Great video Glenn, thank you! I just got back to playing my guitar, got a Focusrite Solo, and am super happy with all the advancement made with all this digital shit in the last decade, when my guitar was taking a very long nap. I'm having so much fun with this, and some of the biggest tips to enable all this fun were from you (Reaper, Amp sims, IRs), not to mention your mind blowing video on how the sound is mostly shaped by the speakers. Thanks a lot! Love from Israel :)
As soon as I got the IN-8 2nd Wave, I only put out my best mix ever. Next song? Another great mix. Months later? Absolute believer in the 3-way design, and still putting out great mixes. I can hear what’s going on!!!
I have a pair of Kali LP6s on yours and Warren's recommendations. I've never been happier! Lone Pine is the neighbourhood where the Kali factory is. Haaa! I have the same Costco table! But mines not broken. Yet!
When unboxing speakers like this in size and weight start by opening in one end, like you did, then turn 3 of the flaps outside, keeping the Styrofoam inside the box. Then turn the box 180 degrees while holding the one flap as a safety wing to keep the speaker inside the box. Now you can gently but easily lift the box vertically up while the flap retracts and the content (here the speaker) stays steadily on the table still protected by the Styrofoam. You can actually lift the box without fighting with the flaps first as they will softly open up as you lift the box... But now you can remove the foam and all the other protection stuff :-) and get a good and safe grip on the speaker before you move it around... With heavier speakers simply open the top and cut the cart board open from the inside out (Sissors or a small scalpel / hobby knife) in two same side corners. Then you can tilt the speaker out from the box or cut the other corners all the way down so you then can unpack and again get a safe grip... Those Kali's really sound fantastic !!
He he , best unboxing video in decades , entertaining value +10 Yeah that table was a bit flimsy , been there experienced that too not with unboxing , but a table ful of beers ( that was a mess ) Not all the typically nonsense you see on other chanels , nope just straight to the point explaining what you get for your money . Great video , keep them comming . Edit - I think I got all typos right , but im on mornign coffe so there might still be some .
Hey Glen. Thanks for this review. I’m really in between these KALI IN-8s and the Adam Audio A7Xs. Since I know you’ve now put in time with the 2, which would you go with at this point?
Epic fail on the unboxing table. LOL You remind me of me yelling at inanimate objects when things don't go the way you want them to. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I think this is going to be a great series and looking forward to the next video. Thanks and keep up the good work !!! Can you do a video on passive DI's VS active DI's and what you would use each on. Thanks again!!
I heard the guy who made Kali audio speakers used to work for JBL back in the day and worked on the higher end JBL studio monitors. I personally think you have to hear them in person and decide on what you want.
I've never an unboxing as funny as this one...lol ... Many of us have problems like that when we receive a package and other unboxings make it look as it was easy
This mix sounds great! I love the presence of the drums; the snare and hat, especially, are leaping out of my speakers and right in front of my face. There's also a sparkle on the drums I haven't heard on your last few mixes; 6k or so? Great mids on the guitars, too.
Dammit Glenn! I already bought the LP-6 and LP-8 because of you! (They are FANTASTIC!) But now I have to buy the IN8!!!??? Please don't tell my wife!.... :-)
This convinced me there's a whole world of SSS bloopers.. we need them
Yes!!!
We need just a channel of them right
@@Darrenowsley id say yes but I think Glen does ALL the work video wise.. idk how he'd feel about a second channel.
Yeah Glenn!
The trust you displayed for that table following the starting debacle is legendary.
The part with the table is golden.
FINALLY bought a new one!
Darn near spit my coffee out.
That’s my favorite part.
@@SpectreSoundStudios Please make a video of you unboxing the new unboxing table 👍🤘
@@SpectreSoundStudios Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!! You should always use the POS!! Laughing is healthy!!
Lol the table. Oh the table. That almost had me in tears the second time.
James Hetfield IS the table
I want a' Glen Getting Pissed Off With Furniture' channel!
Glen: " let me whip this out on my legs. "
Me: finnaly the real unboxing begins!
I have the Gen1 IN-8's and the LP-6's. I honestly can't see myself ever needing any other monitors. And yet, I'm still thinking of adding either LP-8's or IN-5's for live room playback. LOL
PS, Glenn- The mid range driver is coaxial with the tweeter, not the woofer.
Hands down the funniest unboxing video I've ever seen! 🤘🤣
Glenn, that band was great! We all need to know who they are, where to get their music, and how we can see them live. That rocked!
The effort you put into your content is incredible, who knew unboxings could be this engaging
I nearly fainted when you put both unboxed monitors on that Jean Van Damned table, you’re a real savage Glenn 🤘
I'm excited for the upcoming unboxing table unboxing video.
So cool! Not only did we get a review for studio monitors, but we also got a table review! This is why Glenn is the best!
The first half of this video was chaotic in the most perfect way possible. Keep up the amazing work, Glenn
I've been mixing on the IN-8s for a few months now and I absolutely love them. In addition to their honesty with my mixes, I was surprised how much more obvious the acoustics issues in my control room got when I upgraded to these. New absorbers and diffusers helped tremendously and I'm very happy with the whole setup
Editing was amazing, great video Glenn!
Went to like after the table fell the second time forgot I already liked it the first time. Lol love the genuine frustration
I've had my LP 6s for over a year now. Great speakers
I concur! (
Best unboxing video ever :-) and the Kali’s ROCK!
can't wait for the unboxing video for the next unboxing table
I'm dying here!!! You are a riot!!! Love Kali and love your channel!
This video is very educational and historical!
Thank you again for being informative and honestly a funny guy
That sir is a mighty fine knife. The first premium knife I have seen on TH-cam unboxing outside of a knife channel.
It was sent by a fan!!
Thanks Glenn!!! You were right! Love my LP6's! I love the chaos of this new series!
I'm actually very impressed with your new set up Glenn.
WHY'D YOU LEAVE YOUR KALIS ON THE TABLE‽ HERE YOU GO CREATING ANOTHER FABLE...
Hahaha, perfect.
Just ordered a pair of IN-8's. Should be here by Friday. This video was a massive help in making my decision. Super stoked to get them in and setup!

Came for the unboxing and stayed for the table blooper, LOL!!!
This was the best unboxing I have ever seen
I’ve got the LP6. I’ve had them for a little over a year now. Love them. Don’t plan on replacing them anytime soon.
New editor? Love the style of editing here, keep it up!
I love how you didn't edit the table part out hahahah. Also *insert I AM THE TABLE meme here*
lol
Love the new intro theme. You should make it permanent!
Setting up 3 cameras for an unboxing... The table knew it was it's time to shine haha
I lol'd at the beginning with the lp6 rant. I'm watching this using my lp6s that I bought because you recommended them.
I have the Kali LP 8 V2 monitors and they were game changers for me. GREAT monitors.
Glenn, you went all out on the FX on this one! Lol. Love your work, brother!

DO NOT FRET!!!
You can make clear mixes with them!!!!
Poggers, Also the table should get the hammer treatment.
We dumped it in the bin last night
Looks like it wrecked itself pretty well without the hammer.
I hope it was recyclable in some way, smAsh all the Line6 crap you want, just dispose of it properly!😅 A scrapper would have taken the metal

Lol, great slapstick humor with the unboxing table! Cromm's BaLlS that was great!
GLEEEEN! HAMMER OF TRUTH!!! THE TABLE NEEDS IT!

This is a great video Ha Good humor, informative presentation.
Idea for next Wild World of Unboxing video: Glenn unboxes a new table!
Ha, love the table wars!
Got the IN5s a few months ago and they are awesome. There's a little hiss when nothing is playing, but when there's audio flowing they sound great. They are certainly not light though as the table found out.
OMG, I got the LP6 at your recommendation and boy are they the cats meow. Accurate, deep, powerful, versatile. I don't notice any hiss that some talk about. Thanks for helping me pick the perfect affordable monitors on the 1st shot.
That was comedic gold. I actually bought a pair of LP6s on your recommendation, so some of us are listening.
The mix is superb !!! Like this channel he doesnt mince his words , as it should be haha, legend !!! And im comin from Hip Hop but this is refreshing.
I'm never tired of unboxing videos. LoL. I really need to check those Kali monitors, seems awesome!
I'm feeling this intro it's like a new step in metal man this is big.
Glenn, you have to admit this video was more about the table than about the monitors. Well, at least half of it... :)) Thanks a lot for the review and also for the great laugh!
I grabbed the LP6s after seeing Warrens video and the video from yourself, absolutely love them. Thanks for the great tip off!
Great video Glenn, thank you!
I just got back to playing my guitar, got a Focusrite Solo, and am super happy with all the advancement made with all this digital shit in the last decade, when my guitar was taking a very long nap.
I'm having so much fun with this, and some of the biggest tips to enable all this fun were from you (Reaper, Amp sims, IRs), not to mention your mind blowing video on how the sound is mostly shaped by the speakers.
Thanks a lot!
Love from Israel :)
Sinking of the oceanus
Sorry Glenn I was trying to look that up On another note I did get a set of caliel P six's on one of your reviews fantastic speaker thanks
And shits all misspelld because I'm speak texting but you get the gist of it.
As soon as I got the IN-8 2nd Wave, I only put out my best mix ever. Next song? Another great mix. Months later? Absolute believer in the 3-way design, and still putting out great mixes. I can hear what’s going on!!!
I would use that table to hammer the next Klark Teknik compressor you might encounter in the future, or similar worthy of a good hammering.
I have a pair of Kali LP6s on yours and Warren's recommendations. I've never been happier! Lone Pine is the neighbourhood where the Kali factory is. Haaa! I have the same Costco table! But mines not broken. Yet!
I remember seeing a window visor that said please remove before driving. I loved your unboxing.
Dang, Glenn
These cams are wild
I feel like I'm smoking crystal again
Those IN8's are looking real tasty. I may have to get a pair for my third set of monitors.

Those Kali's really sound fantastic !!
He he , best unboxing video in decades , entertaining value +10
Yeah that table was a bit flimsy , been there experienced that too
not with unboxing , but a table ful of beers ( that was a mess )
Not all the typically nonsense you see on other chanels , nope
just straight to the point explaining what you get for your money .
Great video , keep them comming .
Edit - I think I got all typos right ,
but im on mornign coffe so there might still be some .
really fun episode!
Lol what a great unboxing video. I'm loving this stuff...get an even worse table...will be even funnier

And holy shit you’ve lost A LOT of weight. Looking great man!
Glad I could make someone happy!
@@SpectreSoundStudios thanks man! You rock
I heard the guy who made Kali audio speakers used to work for JBL back in the day and worked on the higher end JBL studio monitors. I personally think you have to hear them in person and decide on what you want.
😂 funniest vid you've ever recorded, amigo!! How we really open kit 🏆
Kali used town names that sit on California's Hwy 395, eastern Sierra's... Beautiful place, beautiful monitors!!
I've never an unboxing as funny as this one...lol ... Many of us have problems like that when we receive a package and other unboxings make it look as it was easy
Very professional vid. Well done.
5:09 Every warning has a story to go with it, no matter how obvious that warning is.
Come for a monitor system review and stay for the folding table slapstick
This video is gold. The editing on point. I was laughing even before the table broke. xD
I still have my KRK Rocket 6's and my Kali LP6's and still use and love them!
Ha! Got mine a week before you.
Only took six weeks, and two days apart.
Love ‘em so far.
Love my Kali LP6's , one of the best investments I've made for my home studio.
Gaffa tape on the table Glenn .
The chaotic energy here was simply delicious.
woffer, midrange, twitter images made me laugh way more than I expected hahahaa
I got some IN - 8's a month or two back. Hands down one of the best sounding monitors for the money I've ever used.
This mix sounds great! I love the presence of the drums; the snare and hat, especially, are leaping out of my speakers and right in front of my face. There's also a sparkle on the drums I haven't heard on your last few mixes; 6k or so? Great mids on the guitars, too.
Great vid the drivers you call 'tweeters' are the dual drivers... Mid and highs. Been contemplating these
This is the funniest unboxing video I've ever seen
Hey Glen thanks for the show. Im just gettin better from a 24 hour flu.
Dammit Glenn! I already bought the LP-6 and LP-8 because of you! (They are FANTASTIC!) But now I have to buy the IN8!!!??? Please don't tell my wife!.... :-)
The table “situation” was epic! 😂😂😂
I think I've never laughed that hard for a monitor unboxing video !
I can't even pay attention to the vid because I'm laughing too hard at Glen vs THE TABLE
Comedy fucking gold. Love the grumpy old bastard persona hahahahahaha
Screw reviewing products Glen, just keep entertaining us with the table stunts!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Watch the next "Butthurt of the Week" be Glenn's unceremonious verbal-dethroning of his unboxing-table. xD
The table made my day.
That intro took me back to Ten Pin Alley!
Glenn, all of their product names are inspired by California landmarks.The IN models are named after Independence, and the LP's after Lone Pine.
