I heard about this from Glenn Fricker and I have to say, they sound incredible for the price. I opted for the 8 inch for the better transient response. They are alot bigger than I expected and I honestly could have got away with the smaller 6 inch size for my modest bedroom studio. The bass is deep and the noise is minimal. I can't hear it at my desk. They have revised these speakers and now have revison 2s out with even lower noise, so that's a plus! Unless you have or want to spent thousands of dollars on monitors, then you wont find a better speaker under a grand. They have amp connection options and the dip switchs for room correction. What else do you need? Grab these!

i bought these as another pair of reference monitors as backups to my Focals. The noise level on these is unacceptable. Also, there is an occasional loud pop when turn off the monitors, likely from the on/offswitch being directly adjacent to power plug socket. An inquiry with Kali Audio stated it as just "static electricity" and not to worry about it. Oooook. Sure thing...lol. They did not offer any remedy or further assistance. Maybe it is the effect of the pandemic, but this company is not one of my favorites. Cheap, poorly designed product with even worse customer service.

I also took advantage of the stupid deal of the day and I'm so happy I did! One of the reviewers below left a positive review but says there are much better speakers but they cost thousands more. Even at thousands more I'm not sure there are many that are "much" better than these. These are so incredibly good. Not only are they my go to monitors, they've also replaced my KEF bookshelf speakers for pleasure listening. They bring everything to the foreground allowing you to hear all of the nuances in a song which makes them perfect for mixing. Hard to believe they've supposedly improved these speakers with the new LP-8 ver 2. I haven't listened to the LP-6. I'm sure they're incredible, but my music is always bass heavy and I have the ability to really hear the lows with the 8's. Although be warned, these are not small speakers. I was going to get those side desk mounts for stands for these but now I'm worried these will be too big for those stands. Better off getting traditional floor stands. But yeah, if you can afford these, which most people should be able to, then do yourself a favor and pick them up. You seriously won't be upset for doing so.

Very neutral sound that is quite accurate. With the Kali monitors, I found that what you hear is what you get. Real-world playback (car, home stereo, portable mp3, etc) represents what was heard in the studio. When mixing with my JBL LSR's, the bass was very booming. When mixing bass, what sounded right on them, the bass was almost nonexistent in the real-world playback. I would need to have the studio mix very "bassy" to get a what I really wanted outside the studio. It drove me nuts. I have mixed two songs with the Kali's and did not have to go back and re-mix based on notes from what I heard in the car, home stereo, and portable Mp3. It came out as expected the 1st time. I am definitely getting rid of the JBL's. I saw in other Kali reviews that some took issue with a hiss when idle. I heard no hiss or noise on mine? Maybe I am deaf to that hiss frequency, or I got lucky with my pair, but these were quiet at all volume levels. Maybe at all the way up at "11-1/2" volume there was an almost inaudible hiss when you put your ear up to them? But nothing I would ever notice in normal use and volumes. So, I dunno... For the price, these are awesome speakers. Best in their class in my opinion. Sure, you can get better for a couple thousand bucks more. But these are not that far off from what I hear.

I recently purchased these monitors as a "stupid deal of the day"for an unbelievably good price, to replace my older krk rocket 8 monitors, which had seen better days. My older monitors were great, but after using these Kali monitors for my last two projects, I can say that I'm more than impressed by the quality, the accuracy of the sound, and the overall flexibility to adjust sounds in any given room. They deliver exceptionally well and I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. If you're working in a smaller home studio, or if you're on a budget, I don't think you can do much better than these. Highly recommended!

In my private studio these KALI 8's are the best!
