Gear

 For my small bedroom  and looking to the specifications of different brands of professional studio monitors, it felt:

 1) overkill for my room

 2) a waste of money because I’m NOT a professional musician that needs the at most professional gear for my hobby BUT 

 something better then just PA speakers with a PA amp of 2x 500W rms 2x 1000W peak. 

 3) I don’t have a ton to spend on audio gear because my Samsung tv from 2015 was getting backlight  problems and my pc

 screen still worked well but I wanted a ultra wide curved screen for my Mac mini M2 Pro.

So after a LONG time of comparing brands, models, sizes, and output power, viewing reviews on YT, reading reviews made by customers and more research, I finally decided to go for the Kali Audio IN-5 studio monitors.

I ordered them at my near by music store namely  https://www.bax-shop.nl  and now I can rearrange my room once again.

I’m sure many people do hesitate for buying stuff like this from online stores because you can’t hear them before  you buy. 

I ordered just one of them to first listen and decide later. This way I reduced the cost having to return 2 units which costs double  the returning price (not during the first 30 days after purchase). The reason I did this was the estimated time of delivery  of 6 weeks, so well over the ordering date (you have to pay on order which COULD be interpreted as date of purchase). 

The first unit came in after one week, was well  packed as usual (thank you Bax) and after 2 days I ordered the 2nd one.

The second unit also came within a week  same good packaging.

As in the YT reviews mentioned, setting these up is as easy as making a cup of coffee with a Philips Senseo machine. 

A clear set of instructions is ALWAYS available on the back instead of a ready-to-loose manual. No searching on a site for downloading,  just always ready on the back of the unit. 

For those who are interested, I’ll give you  a few links to YT reviews that helped a lot to make my decision.
