Tempted to go from Dynaudio Lyd-7 to Kali IN8V2 monitors. Anyone to share their experience?

Discussion

Im not using subwoofer, im in a small but treated room and working on mixing music professionally.

I like the Dynaudios, but for some reason (maybe because theyre two-way) everything sounds weirdly wide on them, even when its supposed to be very mono. At least compared to other speakers. I used a friends neumann kh120 recently and they sounded much more tight and mono (which in turn makes stuff thats supposed to be wide sound wider). This, and that the bass is pretty rolled off and the highs kinda hyped, is what i dislike about the lyd-7. The transient response is amazing and their price to performance ratio is insane.

Now from reading online, pretty much everything i have issues with on the lyd-7 would be solved by the kali in8v2, but as theyre cheaper than the dynaudios, and generally kinda cheap, i wonder if all the love for them on the internet can even remotely be factual

any experiences?
