USA - Kali Audio has announced the SM-8, an 8" model in its top-tier Project Santa Monica, or SM-Series, line of studio monitors. Combining Kali’s proven three-way coincident architecture with ‘uncompromising components and craftsmanship’, the SM-Series delivers ‘unparalleled imaging, accuracy, and detail for critical production applications’.
