When I heard about the IN-8s I was already in search for a monitor upgrade so I started researching for it and until now, apart from the hissing issue ( which to be honest ,unless it sounds louder than my old fridge reaching me from the kitchen, it won't be a deal breaker) it has been getting glorious reviews!?
I'm guessing you're referring to one or more posts I've made about the IN-8 and the hiss?
The director of marketing at Kali actually reached out to me as he and the team had seen some of my issues posted, and they'd found a component that was likely in my case outside of their required tolerance.
They sent me a new pair that still had noticeable hiss from the listening position, but seemed less ragged (like a soft pink noise instead of periodically hearing muted electronic squeals and such,) and would be fine for those who aren't much bothered by hiss, or for use with a TV. As a package for the price, I don't think there's a competitor (frequency response, dispersion, volume) until you step up to a Devialet Phantom Reactor which is significantly more expensive and has a terrible app and some connectivity issues, or a Genelec coaxial monitor that fixes the latter two issues at the cost of less bass unless you go with a used 8260.
