I needed some small monitors for the other side of the studio where I do a lot of sound design and didn't want to spend too much.
A producer friend worded me up about the IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitors, so took a punt on them.
These little monitors are pretty incredible for what they cost (£250).
I'm seriously impressed with them.
Only downside is they are unbalanced in (or Bluetooth) but some XLR to RCA cables sorted that out.
If you are in need of a small set of monitors then you'd struggle to get better than these for the money.

How do you find the bass response on them?
It isn't 'natural' and I couldn't really mix on them, but it doesn't lack bass in any way.
If anything there is too much.

I didn't realise how much I would use the Bluetooth function until I had my pair. Its a killer feature! And also, I love that it can play from two sources simultaneously. I.e. Via bluetooth and through the aux/RCA in. I hook up my phone and computer to it at the same time and can play media on any device through the speakers without having to disconnect one or the other.
I love my pair. It sounds fantastic and is a bit of an engineering marvel.

But, more seriously, we can but hope. I don't really need to upgrade my monitors (Tannoy Reveal 6 passives), but I do keep looking at the Kali Audio ones and wondering...

I know the connecting lead length is a bit restrictive at 1.5m, but would need to wall mount them somehow as wall / desk space is at a premium. I couldnt spot any specific wall mounts for them, but do you current owners think I could sit them on some generic speaker wall mount stands / any reason that won't work(other than not being the best place for them)?

Came home and ordered a set of ILoud Micro Monitors based on the reviews. Hope they are good.............
I have a set of these and they do sound great, not just for the size.
On the downside the connections on the back don’t feel as pro as other monitors I have and they do have some strange bluetooth noise going on, but overall they are excellent.
May upgrade to some Genelec’s at some point, but that would cost a small fortune.
