Kali IN-5 versus PreSonus R65 V2

[mophilly]

I understand but with the Adam's you'd probably end up with a flatter sound with less room treatment so you need to calculate which gets you the closest for your overall budget. Speakers are a major outlay so best do it once and keep them 10yrs+ . Room treatment you can improve piecemeal over a period of time and it will never wear out, be obsolete or break down.

The warm audio mic will be fine, the difference between a great budget mic and a good high end mic is not as great as you might think.

Ah, good point. I will reconsider.
