Hi Erin, studio speakers are touted to be "neutral". Is this really true when compared to a living room hifi speaker? If so why should we not use a studio speaker for everyday listening. I have a cheap Presonus monitor for my computer and I often enjoy it more than my other hifi speakers.

This is the best audio review video I've seen in a while. It's not just about utilizing measurement data and subjective listening, but also about framing the problem, demonstrating awareness, and candidly expressing limitations and uncertainties. This made for a comprehensive and enlightening discussion, resolving some of the measurement uncertainties I previously had. Outstanding.

The 8-10 kHz on-axis hole is an artifact of the round "waveguide" (midwoofer cone) that the tweeter "sees". The reflections around the mouth of this "waveguide" arrive after a path-length-induced delay, and so there will be a frequency region in which this delay causes the reflections to arrive out-of-phase with the direct sound, resulting in a cancellation dip like the one we see. This sort of on-axis dippage happens with any round horn or waveguide or coaxial, and is present even with a very large radius round-over. The dip disappears off-axis because off-axis the reflection's arrival is smeared in time rather than arriving all at the same time. The frequency of the dip rises as the microphone distance increases, because the path length difference is geometrically reduced. Imo in most applications it would be a mistake to EQ out this dip because it is ONLY present in the on-axis sound, BUT in THIS application (NEARFIELD and assuming ON-AXIS listening) imo it DOES make sense to EQ it.

I have this system and actually have the coaxial units on stands about arms length away on the sides of my desk due to the available space on my desk right now. They sound really good like that for music and movies. I do some music/recording/mixing and for that I would put them in their assigned spots if I was really trying to do a good mix but for my purpose they are great overall for now. Basically I'd say kinda what I think you guys were getting at, these are great if they fit your purpose. They are a bit better at being loud to you without being loud to your neighbors than if you bought the Kali in 8s or some other larger monitor/bookshelf speakers. I really do appreciate the sound of the coaxial design.

Hmmm. I expected the x-over point to be a problem when i first read about these. 280 hz simply is too high. I find the fact that you need to place the bass unit so near the speakers cause of the x-over point beats the purpose of what they try to be. Meaning, being compact speakers but then out of the blue, “ oh! I need to put the module in front of my face also!” . i like the concept but the module on a desk defeats its purpose. Thanks for the wonderful test guys!

I actually bought it. Not sure I would have if I saw this review first. In terms of space on the desk they work very well for me. Everything is under my ultra wide monitor which is suspended from an arm. If I got the normal bookshelves, they would have to take space to the left and right and I like having a second monitor to my left so that wouldn't work so well. In terms of sound quality, I think they are more accurate and are perhaps better for editing work than my Bose Companion 5s, but they dont go nearly as low. For pleasure, I prefer the Bose. For work, the Kali. Its quirkiness does concern me though. What is the best way to EQ the IN-UNF's if I am using USB?

I'm currently using the Kali IN-UNF system, and have been really pleased with the results. A couple of things: (1) The measurements in the review were taken with one of the bass units upside down. Yes, the bass unit can be used upright, or flat on a desk, but the flat-desk setup here had the bass unit upside down, which would have then thrown off the placement of the satellite speakers somewhat when using the provided placement template. Would this make a massive difference in performance or measurement data? I have no idea. But no doubt neither the bass unit, nor the satellites were in the optimal, recommended positions. (2) To counter the idea that the system doesn't really save that much space, I can only offer that it certainly DID in my case. I recently moved over to a very small corner desk setup, and had been using a larger-format (and fancier) monitor and sub system. In this new setup, I simply could not fit my larger monitors in any kind of optimal position along with my dual screens, nor did I have room for the big sub underneath. The IN-UNF has allowed me to get two adjoining 24" monitors on a stand sitting on top of the bass unit (I have them about 5 inches above the bass unit itself) with ample room for keyboard, mouse, ipad, laptop, small mixer, and other miscellaneous bits in front. It freed up quite a bit of room in my case. Most importantly, I've really been enjoying the sound of the system (once I dialed in the eq/dip switch placement). Granted, I'm the target user here. Of course this won't be the ideal product for everyone. But I suspect there are other folks with similar setups/environments who could benefit from this system.

In its video showing the bass unit in its prone position (t=180s), Kali Audio has the bass unit's larger surface, the one with the swirly pattern on it, facing UP. In your video, also coincidentally at t=180s, the bass unit's larger surface faces DOWN. 30 seconds later, your video also show the unit upside down on the Klippel. Hopefully this is clear - I want to emphasize that I'm talking about what you describe as the "lay flat" position. I can lie on a bed tummy down or tummy up, right?

@@Gamez4eveR The problem is that it will need to be well centered between the speakers since it goes up so high. With interaural timing differences, any subwoofer can be localized when you are in its direct sound field, and it will be perceived as a point source and all the bass will appear to originate from where it is when it plays by itself, even when playing pure tones in the sub-bass region. 280Hz is getting pretty darn close to where the head and torso become significant acoustically, and having level differences as well between the ears will just exacerbate things if it has to be off to one side. If you can get it behind the monitor it should be ok, albeit the soundstage will be a bit myopic in the LF region since the satellites are just small speakers.

​​​​​@@leo11877 it's important to note that the measurements help describe what we're hearing. Where the magic happens is in correlating what we hear with what we measure. Neither I, nor Erin is in favor of using one and not the other. To answer your other question about measuring them in different ways, it gives us a better understanding of the speaker by isolating certain components. By doing that, we have a better idea of how it might sound in different scenarios. This is proven in the video when Erin's predicted response closely matches my in-room measured response. Accuracy is more important in this case, because these are meant as studio monitoring where accuracy is a top priority. To your example of drinks. Imagine having amazing coffee beans only to have your drink ruined by dirty water. That's the reason we want a "transparent" sound system. We want the true flavor of the bean to come through uninhibited by the flavor of the water. If you don't know how the water "measures" for purity, and all you're basing your judgement on is the flavor of the final drink, then if it tastes bad, you might incorrectly think it's due to bad coffee beans when in fact, it's just the dirty water.

I ALWAYS thought a 'monitor' was something we WATCHED, not listened to? This is a loudspeaker, NOT a monitor.

You ever heard of a baby monitor? Maybe a hall monitor? Words can refer to more than one thing, dude.

What's up there ALL CAPS? Hey, there is this THING called a DICTIONARY. Maybe you've HEARD of IT? From OXFORD: •A loudspeaker, especially one used by performers on stage to hear themselves or in the studio to hear what has been recorded. _"I was amazed at the quality of the sound coming from the monitors"_ So THERE you GO. Have FUN and DON'T take YOUSELF too SERIOUSLY. Laff.
