I finally decided to grab a pair of Kali Audio IN-5 3-way monitors. Don't have much to report, except that they are silent, no noise that I detected. Apparently that was an issue with the 1st generation IN's. Powered them on and listened to few reference tracks, but that's about it so far.

I considered the IN-8's, but after sifting through multiple reviews on YouTube and given the size and setup of my spare room studio, the 5" monitors are the better option.
