Kali Audio LP-6 2nd Wave

In the past I,ve been mixing stuff with my headphones becouse of small child in the house. After few years it came time to buy studio monitor for my home studio.
I must say that todays technology helps to build good sounding monitors with good price. I was considering JBL, KRK, Adam Audio and Kali Audio.
KRK Rokit is very budget sounding and it’s good for rap, dance etc, not for me :)
Jbl 305 MK II is quite flat sounding but has huge low end, to big for me, maybe good for dub or dubstep not for me. Final battle was Kali LP-6 and Adam T5v.
Kali is definitelly more flat and have richer midrange, Adam is slight boosted in treble and bass. Both are really great but this midrange in Kali was crucial. Adam maybe is better for listening music, but I’ve choose Kali for mixing.
Important they are big :)
But I’m happy with this order.
Recomend to all that mixing live instrument stuff (drums, guitars, bass)

For 20 years, I worked on the legendary Alesis M1 Active MK2 monitors, which had a warm sound, great bass (although I preferred to plug the bass reflex ports since I worked in the near-field), and above all, were dead quiet with no self-noise (which was a crucial factor for me when creating ambient music). Because of that, it was really hard to find a replacement under €450 (approx. 2000 PLN) with similar specs. Reading many reviews, I was terrified to see how much the industry had declined, with modern built-in power supplies producing such loud self-noise.

I took a gamble, bought the Kali Audio LP-6 V2, and... I am very pleasantly surprised. If you crank the gain to the max, unfortunately, you can still hear some self-noise. However, I turned them down below 0, and they are truly quiet! I work in near-field and mid-field positions, so this is extremely important to me.

I am also highly impressed by their warm sound. Nothing will ever completely replace my old Alesises, but out of all the current products on the market, Kali is the only brand that can naturally take their place in my studio. I also really like the finish—I absolutely can't stand monitors with colorful accents. Highly recommended!

Kali Audio has completely revolutionized the game when it comes to studio monitors, and let's dive into the symphony of reasons why!

Firstly, they've cracked the code on delivering top-tier performance without breaking the bank. These studio monitors are like the rockstars of affordability.

Now, the low end – ah, the controlled bliss! Thanks to the genius move of placing the bass port in the front, and did I mention the fantastic room DSP settings? They've basically gifted us a sound paradise for those of us whose rooms are yet to be treated.

For the lucky ones with treated rooms, brace yourselves because Kali Audio is here to give the pro monitors a run for their money. The mid's detail is like a maestro leading a musical expedition – bold, upfront, and true. No need to worry about missing out on anything with those crossover points.

And here's the real kicker – no fatigue in the high frequency spectrum, even after marathon recording or mixing sessions. Unlike some monitors that aim for a shiny, hi-fi high end and end up causing more fatigue than a caffeine overdose.

A solid 10/10! In fact, I'm so impressed, I've got not one, but two sets. And the excitement doesn't stop there – I'm gearing up to test their 3-way monitors soon.

Bravo, Kali Audio! You've hit all the right notes.
