I’ve been considering the LP6 for a few months - this is by far one of the best “real life” reviews. Thanks for sharing 🙏

RE: that LED issue, you definitely have ghosts in your house.

As others have stated, much better video than I would have expected from your subscriber count.

This might be one of the best reviews I have ever watched, great detail and very passionate , great work man 👍

I’ve been watching videos for days to try and decide what to buy, and this video has made up my mind. Thank you for the thorough review.

This review was literally the most detailed, well edited, informative review I’ve seen in a while. Thank you sir,

By far one of the best reviews you given...you know how to explain the details in mixing vocals and why the one brand is more usefull then the other. Thanks for that

Such a well balanced and detailed review. Your video was super helpful with my studio monitor shopping. Fairly certain I'm going with the Kali LP6. Thank you.

Great review, actually one of the better I've seen. Very informative, ideal length, calm and pleasant presentation.

Didnt realize i was watching a video with only 30 views. Thanks for the comparison excelent video

best speaker review/comparison I've seen. entertaining and informative. thanks a lot

You're review was great, very concise explanation and accurate portrayal of both monitors... I have never had the LP6's but have heard them and was incredibly impressed with them... I have the IN-8 2nd Waves and the Kali 12" Sub and love them to death... I went from my beloved Yamaha HS8's to them and while I was also sad about replacing the HS8's (as they're very good, well balanced speakers I've made some great mixes on) the Kali's IN-8's sound like the rooms in Acustica Audio's Sienna plugin for headphone emulation of very nice high end studios, the sibilance was clear I hadn't done enough from mixes done on my HS8's, but I also have a second pair of Yamaha's (no longer available sadly) the MSP7's which are a step up from the HS series, but I wouldn't say as clear as the IN-8's... All in all Kali are incredible and I always love to hear what other reviewers say in their videos about them, the only thing I noticed on my Kali IN-8's and you may have noticed this on you LP6's, is you really need to crank the volume on them to get them as loud and volume matched as other speakers... I did send an email to Kali about this and they were so prompt in replying (awesome service from Kali and their agents by the way) in stating that this line of speaker does need more boosting, and best not to turn the overall volume knob up on the back of the speaker, but to use your volume knob on your monitor controller / switcher (I have a few sets of speakers for referencing, and switch between them, initial mix on a mono Auratone cub, then on to MSP7 which used to be my HS8s, then up to IN8 with and switch between Kali 12" sub, which used to be my MSP7 and HS8S 8" sub, what I love about the Kali sub is it has a foot switch that Yamaha didn't, so you can quickly and easily switch between the sub in and out) but to get them all volume matched, I needed more volume for the Kali's to get a seamless switch over point, but they do go very loud if you push them and the frequency response on my IN8's are basically flat down to 50hz and -6db at 38hz, but they extend way further down, if you add a sub to the picture (a 12" Kali in my case and I was nervous going to such a large sub from an 8" HS8S Yamaha that I had paired with my Yamaha MSP7's beforehand) I get flat down to 25hz and about -6db at 20hz very usable, tight, accurate bass (I did initially have the HS8 and HS8S sub working together and while they were great, they seemed a little soft and flabby in their bass, when I matched the HS8S with my MSP7's however, I got a very nice response flat down to about 28hz and -6db at 22db and that worked beautifully, so for smaller studio space maybe you could match the LP6 with a smaller sub like Yamaha HS8S, I know they're not made for each other, but neither were the MSP7 and HS8S, but they paired beautifully after some moving them around and tweaking them with Sonarworks and crossover points etc)... A little more detailed and fuller sounding the IN8's are with their 12" sub, but by no means do you need a sub for the IN8's (I just love sub bass and my room can handle it)... Thanks for your detailed review, as before I purchased mine, I couldn't get much information from anywhere so really appreciate reviews like yours to help others make purchasing decisions.

A really good concise video. absolutely enjoying my LP-6, this just helped me validate my purchase. thank you so much.

Excellent reviews dear ... Just clear of my questions

Nice work and thanks for your opinion on the LP6. I’m currently shopping for another set of monitors and this was very helpful.

I was torn between Kali and Yamaha. This comparison came right on time! Thanks Man.

I don’t usually write comments, well I think I posted 5 comments in 10 years. Keep up the good work and I wanted to tell you that there is a sincere approach in the way you do things that sets you apart from the other people that review stuff. My 2 cents. All the best!

I'll join in and say this video is much better than what I expected. I'm currently considering one of these 2 pairs. This helped a lot and made me decide to buy the LP-6s. Would've liked to see some more B-Roll, and maybe be a little more to the point with stuff, but I'm a nitpicky dumbass. This was awesome, please make more. subbed.

Great presentation! Incredibly useful.

great review man! super helpful, thanks a ton! 🎉

Good review, well delivered. Thanks...

Great review man!

The headphones comment you made helped me make my mind up, I almost bought the lp6 when they first came out but just never did, then again was about to get the 8in lp8 recently. But I really want a smaller speaker than what I have now, I've been on the Mackie hr824s for like 10+ years now and wasn't sure if either wld be any better. But I always have to check a few things on my headphones when mixing (which I think I will always do atleast a little for the low end and background details). Sometimes I get a little muddy on the Mackies if I'm not careful about monitoring the mids.

One of the most honest and clearly informative reviews I ever watched. have you reached out to Kali asking the Noise thing? do they have any word for it?

Great video! Very helpful!

Very nice video! Nice guy as well, would totally watch more videos of him

Wow! You should have more subscribers. Quality review with great content! I am in that well known process of picking out the right monitors on a budget. I finally decided on the LP 6 from Kali Audio. Most reviews I have seen about them is saying it's the best monitors in that price range. I hope I'm right in my decision. Great channel and great stuff. Keep it up :) I'm definitly subscribing!!

Thanks a lot. It's been a hard decision to make.

Was thinking about getting some Yamaha's but I think you've convinced me otherwise and saved me some money! Thank you!

excellent video. very informative.

Thank you very much for this video! You did good :)

Good job, Matt.

Very nice video. Glad you're not a sound physicist, like the rest of us. I have the LP-6s and have had no issues. My only issue is should i go for the V2 of the LP-6s. Looks like you have a KORG Minilogue too. Nice. :-)

I wish you had a million subs🤣 im about to buy some right now! Thanks man!

Thanks for the great video. How are those compared to Adam T5V?

Damn, really well done review. I wish this had shown up a couple months ago when I was researching the LP6s as I probably would have bought them sooner lol. Kali recently came out with an updated version of the LP6s, hopefully without the hiss/static. Have you tried or heard anything about them?

Great Review!

Wow! Thank you so much for this review Matt. I just ordered myself a pair of the LP6's to replace my KRK Rokit 6's which have been discontinued. I was debating to get either the Yamaha's HS5 or these LP6's. I chose the latter. Time will tell how well these hold up.

Thanks for the great video- very helpful. The original LP6's (V1) have come down in price- do you think there is a great enough difference between V1 and V2 that it would justify paying the extra $80 per speaker?

Great review

4:30 i own a pair of HS7's and and after a year or so of owning them i had the same problem with one of my monitors. I emailed the company i bought them from and they offered a repair which took forever and in the end after complaining about the huge delay they just sent me a brand new one Yay!

I have had the lp6 v2 for about 6 months and I just cant get the bass to translate right. I bought a used pair of hs 7's and did my own shootout. For the purpose I am using them for I will be keeping the yamaha's. I mainly play a helix through them.

great man thx!! subscribed

Great review. My friend has HS5, and they, as expected, lack some bass I would like to hear. I switched from KRK RP6 G3 to these Kali LP6 and I was blown away with how much clearer and wider they sound. It was like my speakers were covered with a blanked and positioned one next to each other, and Kalis just opened all that up.

I have exactly the same noise issue with my HS7s. However it seems to go away once the speakers warm up. Might dismantle them one day and check the capacitors, I expect that’s the issue. Overall love the Yamahas though like you I have to place them very close to the wall and corners. Bass can be a bit overwhelming but the switches help. Great review so might look into the LP6s if I ever change them.

Thanks Matt!

I appreciate your efforts on our behalf, very helpful. Do you use a lower range subwoofer with the LP6's? If so which one. Also, are the LP8's "better"? Your experience is respected.

At what distance is the LP-6's hiss audible? I will listen at a 4.5 meter distance (14 3/4 feet). I will use them as LCR speakers in a 5.1 home theater, and some HS-5's as surrounds (as they will be alot closer and will need ro be really quite).

Thanks bro Iam going with Lp6

Hi, thanks, great comparison. Might be just what I need to help me pull the trigger. On another note, how much better do you think the IN series would be. Is it worth the price difference. Here in India there is no option to demo the speakers, so I will have to purchase them blind.

Hi! About LP-6. Tell me, what happens if I connect one source to XLR and another source to RCA at the same time? Will I be able to switch between these sources using selector #8 at the back?

The LP6’s do you have a low hiss but love the accuracy and the mixes I have been doing on them

Did you happen to reach out to Kali about the white noise and artifacts. Just curious if they had any feedback

Hi 😁 just subscribed ! Would the V2 LP6 or LP8’s be okay for my music room? It’s only about 10ft by 10ft in size… I do not do any recording or mixing, I just want to plug my keyboards into my Soundcraft Mixer (in stereo) then plug the mixer to the speakers… I also listen to KZfaq music and my normal WAVS and MP3’s, I’m asking all this because I just sold my Yamaha HS7’s, my keyboards sounded awful through them! very “mid” sounding and “boxy” My speakers have to go in the corner of my room, around 8 inches from the wall……. My maximum budget is £500 british MAX - any help would be great 👍🏻😊

Great video. I've had a pair of LP-6 and just love 'em. Would recommend them unquestionably, at the price point. Side by side with a pair of Adam Audio T5V.

Quality content

Great video man, one of the best!!! keep doin more videos

Thank you !

Very helpful

interestingly in terms of placement you should try and get them as close to a wall as possible as this pushes the reflections up the frequency band and out of the bass range which is easier to absorb.

After watching this video I'm pretty sure I will be going for lp6

The final "sounds" were hilarious. :-) I think the second iteration has fixed the white noise "thing".

i have JBL104 BT,, whic has no low frequency...but good in mid and high.... so whch i should buy now hs7 or kali lp6...?

Why do you name your monitors? Anyway thanks for the helpful detailed review. Greetings from Germany

what about hs8 vs lp6 i m currently sing jbl lsr 305 and just curious about upgrading them to a big size for the low end purpose just asking if u could help me on that a it being confused on hs8 vs kali lp6

Have you tried the Focal Alpha Evo 65s. Any views. Thanks.

I have this issue when I play guitar on HS7 and HS8 and I hit a guitar note C# or 140HZ frequency on multiple different guitars were I get this after boomyness can figure it out ! Rest of the guitar notes done do it.

Would it be a good idea to buy only one piece of speaker monitor. And buy the second piece after some time as it very expensive to buy a pair of studio monitors in my country.

I have problem with lp6 speaker. Permanent orange light (sleep mode), switch does not give an effect... anyone can help?

Are you using the RCA on Kali? I thought the hiss was from that and could be shut off if not used... Just curious

The Kalis Have The Noise But With bluettoyh module When You Turn Knob It Goes Away

I got my LP6's two weeks ago and they are absolutely phenomenal for the price range. I checked the hs7's but i'd need additional woofer for them as i work with bass heavy music. About the Kali's.. YES , they do have hiss but when u put them on a proper distance of 2-2,2m away from you , the hiss becomes unnoticeable. Always read the manual :D ! Other than that i love working with them for many hours without my ears getting tired. An issue i had with HS7 in another studio environment. To sum up ..i highly highly recommend the Kali Audio LP6's , you will love them for a reason! Yamaha is dope but with a woofer.

was these the v1 lp6? thats the ones i have for backup hardly use em still use my krk rockit 7s. got yamaha hs8s about a year ago and didnt like the sound of them at all but i make hip hop so? lol

I have a pair of LP-6 monitors, & I honestly don't hear any hiss... Maybe its my interface blocking it, I'm not sure. Sound wise they are amazing sounding monitors.... Also if you add a sub its game over....

Ty

Feel annoyed that lots of the music stores near me stock lots of HS5's and 7's, but nearly no stores near me let alone in Australia stock the LP6's.

People have been talking about the problem you said and hiss problems with kali monitors but alot of people have said they bought power conditioners and it fixed everything.

Oh my God!! The static issue you had with Ben! I'm having the exact same issue with another brand, not Yamaha and nobody was able to explain what's happening. Only one of my monitors does that and it slowly fades away as the speaker has warmed up properly. If ANYBODY has any idea what to check or what is dying inside, I'd be super grateful!

did the fix the hiss in the Kali?

You forgot that with the front ported box the port resonances also be presented in your face. Generally I rather have the port at the back (sealed + sub would be ideal) and at 50Hz port tuning, the bass is omnidirectional. Usually spkrs which are more revealing are tiring after a while, a lot of metal cone midwoofers might do this and crossover design is very important to keep cone resonances down so they don't add their flavor to the sound. On the other hand, it would be nice to have a few spkrs and headphones (yeah just a few pairs of each) to check your mixes on.

I have the HS7 and I'm in quite a problematic room... Maybe i should change them to a pair of LP6s... Or have both. Thanks a lot for s great review. Subscribed :)

I believe that from 15:00 we start to hear an alien interaction. They tried to make a contact with you via speakers.

would you say the lp6 is missing the ammount of detail in the treble that is necessary for a good master? seems like the yamaha series has this saturation with the treble which ultimately gives you more treble detail, from the sound demos I heard online of the lp6 its missing that info entirely. The yamaha hs8 might be a compromise between both of the features you're looking for I think, its less topsy-turvy in the lower mids and bass.

What Hiss? I haven’t had issues when using a SMSL M200 DAC

Fun fact = when you turn the Kali LP6 almost to zero, it starts to play Aphex Twin - [Equation].

Cheap Capacitors bad shielding….. Incredible design….. Should be able to mod them to lower the noise floor…. Are You running a power conditioner of Any type? Is it grounded power coming from your walls?

Do the LP 8 or the IN series have these noise issues also?

That digital noise can be eliminated if you make sure you're using balanced connections between the interface and the speakers.

which one of these would you recommend if i have a room size of 7ft x 10ft ?

Those sounds at the end are digital nightmare fuel

those final noises... someone transpose the alien message, please

i had this noize issues a lot. try a hum destroyer. remove LED lamps and their powerbriks. remove any lan over powerline adapters. try optical out from pc. test it with a phone or not charging laptop-

Did they fix the hiss/noise issues in their v2?

nice

The ending of this video is like if aliens had dial-up

Earned a sub from me!
