I'll start off by saying, if you know much about audio gear you'll ignore the 3-star review. I imagine it's that guys first time using monitors.For the price these are probably the best you'll find. They'll hit better than $350-$400 monitors from other brands and are fairly flat which is nice. You can find EQ graphs to flatten them even more via pro-q or other eq programs fwiw (I use this to flatten my HD650s/HD580s and DT990 Pros) but ultimately like with microphones your room and it's treatment matter the most.These are only 6" speakers but they do reproducs bass fairly well, however if you're not going to buy a subwoofer you should invest in the LP-8's as they will have a much better extension into the low end.I think these speakers are best for someone who wants the spacial awareness of monitors, wants a fairly reliable mixing experience, but will still reference check on other devices or monitors.They're for someone who wants to avoid the dated "bedroom producer" look of KRK Rokits, and their infamous bass tilt, but without breaking the bank. If you're a serious bedroom artist I would definitely research what you need and while considering these, maybe aim for ADAM audio if you can afford it or the LP-8s over the LP-6, and the IN-8s over both. I would absolutely pair these with a subwoofer if you work on anything bass heavy as well.These are best, in my opinion, with someone who releases their tracks on spotify and has a small following, but isn't about to quit their job to persue music full tilt and still mixes/masters their own stuff.I also would highly recommend grabbing a mixcube as a mono reference if you're using these.For me personally, I love my pair and am using the lp-6s to build a VERY cheap dolby atmos system, mainly for personal enjoyment. I recommend looking up 7.1 and 11.4.2 setups and learning them, because these are sonically excellent and you could have a great surround sound home studio build for like $2,000-ish.

I bought these for a 2nd setup based off the strength of all the positive reviews I’ve heard from YouTubers and reading about them and I have to say I’m a little disappointed with these. So basically I listen to music that can have heavy bass, and although the bass is present in these Kali 6’s… I think it can be a downside bc I think these speakers try to push the bass a little too much which causes them to blank out if played “too loud”. And I put that part in quotes bc I can remember having a $150 stereo system back in my youth that played comfortably at louder volumes than these Kali’s play around the setting they cut out.So disappointing bc they sound really good but can’t enjoy them fully without the constant worry they will blank out again. Asked around to try and find out if this is just a safety feature to keep the speakers from blowing and it seems the one recommendation that was common was to add a subwoofer which is obviously not a bad idea but kind of sucks being that these speakers are $400 the pair and can’t really enjoy them to their full potential without paring them with a sub. Also with all the reviews I’ve watched on these speakers, not once did any of them complain about having the problem of the speaker blanking out and have to wonder is this similar with other brands around this size (like the HS5’s for example). Already returned one speaker but the problem pretty much continues to be the same so I won’t go through the trouble of trying to exchange. Again they sound pretty amazing as long as you don’t play music that has a medium level of bass because these monitors are a little bass heavy even though they are marketed as being neutral sounding.
