I don't know if that was meant in shock/disgust or excitement  . It's not always a bad things, Barefoot did it on their Footprint 01 woofers and they sounded great. We'll just have to wait and see how Kali implemented it here. |

Nice to see an innovative passive monitor design and paper cones usually just sound better to my ears.
The tweeter sounds interesting too:

I’ll definitely demo these, but with amp I wonder if they will be more expensive then the new barefoot 3 active.

The Amp requirements make me a bit nervous, So even in single amp mode these need a DSP profile? 3 ohms I know it’s a nominal rating but guys what that tells me is it’s really a 2 ohm load all over the place, but the lower the impendance the more current your going to draw at wattage. No limiter or no warranty, not a problem we have racks of amps that fit the bill in the live rig, non of the amps that end up on monitors here are going to have limiters, are they that fragile?
If I really need a specific amp. Package it and call it an active system.

Genelec limits the crap out of their coaxial mid/tweeter assembly. |

This is the first set in the new line. In the video they talk about other models and active, beg an 8 inch woofer is in the works.

At 2G's with no amp, there's a lot of great quality competition out there.

Now I was looking at a pair of Passive HHB circle / Harbeth’s for $200. Now for 4K I could get one hell of an amp. |

That's more money than Focal and ATC and unlike Focal and ATC, Kali is using generic drivers. |

And more then the new barefoot 3 and dyn lyd48, both active: I’d find it hard to buy the kali, unless they really blew my doors off .
