Would those Kali's happen to be the IN-8's? Were your old ones also 8" monitors?
I have enough space in this room to accommodate 8" speakers, but I haven't really given my KRK G3 Rokit 5's a chance. So at the moment I'm just toying with the idea of upgrading. I want to see how easy or difficult the next mix goes with them.

Mine are the LP-8 V1 models. The primary reason I moved from our Rokit 5's was I'd tired of constantly having to listen to my mixes via our "living room" system and/or in our vehicle (Harman Kardon with a sub). The Rokits were reliable, very clean flat sound, etc., but the 5" woofers combined with my old ears simply did not give me sufficient low end feedback.
I use Nectar 3's "masking" feature to help the bass and kick drum cooperate in the mix

and, as mentioned, did not want to constantly check it on another system.
Some of the Kali models get mixed reviews but at the time, last year, when I bought these the reviews from many sources were excellent and they were cheaper than my Rokits.
All with a big ole FWIW.
