➡️➡️Watch Kali Audio LP-6 Studio Monitors Review (1st Wave) here: • Kali Audio Studio Moni...
Kali Audio has announced the 2nd Wave of their best-selling LP-Series studio monitors. The lineup consists of the LP-6: a 6.5-Inch 2-way monitor available in both black and white, and the LP-8, an 8-Inch 2-way monitor.
Since being launched in 2018, the LP-6 and LP-8 have become some of the best-selling monitors globally. Users have praised their accurate frequency response, low distortion, excellent imaging, and user-friendliness.
The new versions of the LP-Series monitors replace the original versions in Kali’s lineup, and use their 2nd Wave technology platform to realize substantial performance improvements. These include 12 dB lower self-noise, 3 dB higher output thanks to a more sophisticated limiter, more robust DSP for a smoother high frequency response, lighter transducers, and improved construction processes for better cosmetic longevity.
Nate Baglyos, Kali’s Director of Marketing, says: “With this announcement, now all of Kali’s monitors are part of our 2nd Wave, which is something we’re very proud of. We feel that we’ve addressed the most important feedback that we’ve gotten on our products since starting the company. In doing so, our monitors are no longer ‘the new kids on the block;’ they are serious monitors worth professional consideration at any pricepoint.”
The LP-6 gets 80W of power, with both the 1-inch tweeter and 6.5-inch woofer getting their own 40W amp. The LP-8 gets 100W of power, using the same 40W amp and 1-inch tweeter that the LP-6 uses, and an 8-Inch woofer powered by a 60W amp. Boundary EQ settings are accessible on the back of the speaker, along with a quick reference guide printed directly onto the speaker itself. New for the 2nd Wave version is a boundary EQ for using the speakers on desks with monitor stands.
The LP-6 will retail for $199 in the US, and the LP-8 will retail for $249. Customers who are considering buying can visit Kaliaudio.com/secondwave for information about how to tell the 2nd Wave versions apart from the originals. Additionally, Kali will continue to support the original versions.

What monitors do YOU use? What do you think of the 2nd Wave of the LP-6's? Comment your thoughts below!
I use kali LP 8s! Thinking of upgrading to the IN mk 2s
Fluid F4
i still have my Yamaha HS80's but I mix on headphones now because my room sucks.
@@Czyszy at least you realise it 😉 line your walls with mattresses 😂
I'm using the LP-6's, and loving them. Until now...
8 people from JBL disliked. Great vid. I love my Kali's. Time for some new heat!
I had these in my Amazon cart after watching 8 million videos on speaker recommendations for a home studio. You sold me and I pulled the trigger. Thank you for humanizing your review of them! I checked out your course website - may be signing up for it, I'm a total beginner.
I bought the Lp6s last year. Love them. I had rocket fives before. The Kali's have much more dimension to the sound and a large sweet spot. Took me a minute to get used to them but now I'm hooked.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
3dB louder? Even the neighbours enjoy a pair of the original LP6's - they're the ones that I bought through PLAP and Kali, and still use - and they're plenty loud already! Fantastic monitors!
Haha thanks for sharing Chris!!
Once I stacked LP6's on top of each, one upside down so the tweeters are closer togther as Kali instructed me to in a secret instagram DM... and the combination of the four speakers was absolute mind blowing earth shattering studio excitement and I am committed to replicating this with the version 2s as my Adam T8V's can't match stacked lone pines... Not even close... Great review Warren..
I’ve heard these this week and they have absolutely blown me away. Made the best value better. Great for Atmos as you can filter out that low end on the surround speakers.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
I know it near impossible to accurately access the sound from the lapel mic over UA-cam, so on that basis, the Kali’s sounded covered in the midrange compared to the Gens. When you switched to the Gens it was like a blanket lifted off the sound. Kali’s had good bass extension but at the expense of a clear midrange is my impression of them from this demo. Thanks Warren!
The 12Db drop in self noise is significant! And they are around the same price as a pair of Mackie's but I would love to hear them in person. When I was young I was using Tannoy PBM 6.5's, because I despise Yamaha NS10's. This was before home studio's could have self powered monitors, way back then! Still hate the NS 10's, and everyone I knew using them had a napkin or something over the tweeters yet raved about them. Amazing what you can get for the money now, and matched amps to drivers is sweet, making the amp and speakers together cheaper than they were 30 years ago! Now if we can do that with the rent...
Perfect. This is how you do a monitors review. 🙌 Thanks dude
Thanks ever so much
I have Kali LP8s and I’ve been happy with them.
Fantastic!!
These Kali's would be great for me since I'm into producing and DJing dance music in my bedroom. I love the extended low ended. It'll be a nice upgrade from the used KRKs!
Thanks for sharing!
Can you tell us if the highs are a bit worse on the Kalis in comparison to the KRKs ? I am looking for a new set and torn between kalis and krks - i simply love that super sharp highs on the KRKs - do Kali have those as well or are they a bit more neutral ?
Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter, and a big congrats to Joe L., Dave P., and Peter S. on winning this amazing giveaway!
These would be a nice replacement for my old M Audio bx5's......great review Warren.....
Alrighty! Yet again best of luck everyone. I can't tell you how much I'd love to have these! Cheers Warren!
These sound amazing Warren!
when will the winners be announced?
I've been a user of Kali LP8's, and a vintage pair of JBL L-40 studio monitors. I bounce between the 2 sets when recording, mixing and mastering. I love the Kali's. In fact, I'd like to add the Kali LP6's to go between 6", 8" and 10" monitors. Oh, plus I have a pair of Auratone's 5C's. Love your channel and info. Keep it up!! Cheers!!
Because of your review of LP6's the last time I just had to buy them. I recommend these marvelous monitors all the time to everybody I meet. Wifey is getting abit annoyed at me.. Haha...
That's great to hear!
Good day to you kind sir!
Nice too see you indeed. These speakers I have being interested in for a very, very long time. Or more precisely the first revision. I did stay away though due to a quite high noise floor. Now, however I will dive into this fine review of yours. I will sit back, and enjoy. :)
Noise floor is 12 dB lower!
@@kaliaudio Yes I would guess this would be one of the bigger priorities. Maybe I will get back to music one day. If so, I will buy a pair. I got covid back in april damaging both my hearing and my vocal cord/muscles on a neurological level changing the tone of my voice. I was a musician/singer before all that. Now I sound like shit, super nasal even though it havent affected my sinuses. It seems to be the muscles in the palate not constricting the way they should and it seems so far to be irreversibel damage...
And they're claiming it to be a rasparitory disease?! Well that's just BS. If you're lucky it will only affect your loungs. Oh yeah the muscles in the eyes are fucked up as well. It seems to have triggered a neurodegenerative muscle disorder in the eyes also, making it hard to switch focus points and making the eyesight all blurry most of the time. Oh yeah... worst of all... Sudden almost complete erectile dysfunction at 37 years of age. Life is great, isn't it?! :)
Be careful out there! One day music is your life. The next you'll be trying to forget all about it.
I still have the first Kali Lp6 and love them still.
Love to try these out!!!
Thanks for the awesome video Warren.
I have a vacation cottage up in Oregon that I wanted to be able to go to and noodle away at music. I stashed a guitar amp up there and I decided to make a little recording setup with a Focusrite interface and I needed some cheap but not horrible monitors. Based on your previous look at the Kali LP-6s I just went and grabbed a pair at the nearest Guitar Center and I must say that I was pretty amazed at the low end and the overall quality vs price for those things. I've since recommended them to a couple people who were on a budget.
Thanks ever so much for your great comment! I'm glad to be able to help!

*Then becoming Jedi-fied (?) and returning to fight the legendary behemoth! Popcorn Time!*
*Saving up for a pair or so of IN-5, LP6v2 or MM-6.*
Thanks Warren!
You’re very welcome
I have a pair of LP6s already and I think they're plenty loud enough! I'm really trying to save my hearing. I'm in a small bedroom sized space and they can easily overload the room even with the little acoustic treatment that I have. I bought them on yours and Glenn Fricker's recommendations and couldn't be happier! Thanks for that one! But another pair would be really nice too!
Would love to try these. Hoping to find my next monitors. Been using old LYD s since 2010.
Thanks for sharing!
I think I'll go for these as my first studio monitors. Been mixing (learning to mix my own demos) on my headphones a bit but with monitors my little home studio would be complete. Pc, Audient Evo 8 audio interface, Audio Technica ATH M50X headphones, mics from Lewitt (pair of 140 air and the mtp 440 dm), Se Electronics Voodoo 2 ribbon and Austrian audio OC18. I think I have lovely equipment to start recording my stuff but I need to learn a lot more regarding DAW work. This is fun!
Great review ! Out of curiosity , where are your Genelec 8351B’s?
These speakers are worth a look. Will need to see if they demo them somewhere nearby and the IN8 would also be nice to demo. Thanks again for an informative video
Beautiful studio setup. Love the SSL.
HI Richard! Thanks!
I’ve been working with my Rokit 6CLs for about 14 years and my CLA10 passives for about two. I felt it was time to upgrade my powered monitors and this video just sealed the deal. I’m buying them 😁
Thanks ever so much for sharing
@@Producelikeapro I've been blown away by the sound ever since I got them. The stereo imaging is absolutely phenomenal.
I have the IN-5 (which were the first of the V2 tech line) and I think that I will have them a very long time.
That's fantastic to hear!
Get mine this week, can't wait!
Great review. I’m starting to mix piano and choral recordings so these would be a great addition.
Marvellous! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing! , I miss your Trio11, Kali is doing such a great job, pretty impressive for the price range !, definitely one of the best options in the market for any size of Studio, gracias ;)
Thanks ever so much
Great as always ❤️❤️
Thanks ever so much
Wow!!! this is insane!!! Good Luck to everyone!!!!
Best of luck to you and everyone else!
I've been using Event 20/20's powered by an older Crown D-75 for over 15 years. Would love to try the Kali's, though.
Never did like Genelecs. Bring it.
YES YES YES!! I'm so excited to try this out!🤩
Marvellous
Great to see you are using isolated decoupling.
However, your are placing stuff on to of your monitors in effect "listening to the resonate frequencies of whatever is placed on top.
I just ordered the LP-8's 2nd wave pretty excited to say the lease
Fantastic
How are they working out for you?
@@jc.1191 Love them, I would highly recommend these
@@805Dak Cool
LP6 originals loving them everyday.
Warren......tapping my digits in anticipation of your HEDD Type 20 MK2 review............sooooooon?? ;)
I’ve reached out to them! A few times! We will see haha
Glad to see these reviewed here.
I love me my LP6s. Now if only I can better treat my room I would love them even more!
I already mixed 3 atmos songs with my headphones lol. They sound great. All you have to do is put it in Binary mode and your set.
Fantastic!!
great video, thanks for the heads up on these Warren - any chance of a PMC review next? I'm trying to separate the hype from the reality and yours is a trusted opinion. Thanks either way!
Yes! Would love to!
For my small room, Mackie CR3s work great. No muss, no fuss.
these speakers looks great
I've been waiting for these. Now waiting for them to reach Tomann or some dealer in my country.
They should be in Thomann soon!
They're on their way!
Hope you are doing marvellously well too hehe, great great review as usual :)
Thanks ever so much!
I use the original Kali LP-6's and love them--but better sensitivity & lower self-noise would be nice... I also read that they updated the Boundary EQ settings, which would probably help in my room. (Right now I do some software EQ...) So hook me up, Warren! 😉
Mackie MR524s. Ready for an upgrade to these lovely monitors!
I bought the LP6's based on your recommendations and a mate of mine bought the 8's on mine.... They really are cracking bits of kit for the money.... Thanks!!
PS. I dont use instagram... does that mean my other competition entries dont count??
You can enter regardless of having Instagram. Thanks for sharing!
Dying to see a comparison between these and the Adam Audio T5V's/T7V's
I use B&W 802 Matrix Series2 for monitoring (what is out of Price range of Kali for shure :=)) and looking for a good cheap way to expand the system for Atmos with Kali LP-8 or LP-6
Thanks ever so much for sharing my friend!
Ooooh is it Kali or Yamaha??? The jury seems to be out and they are even Stevens.
I have spent considerable time and effort create a room that is audio centric, for listening and recording acoustic guitar. Just for a low cost test I put a pair of these in the room. Wow the stereo field is incredible. The clarity is on point and the internal amplifiers are completely silent. How the hell do they produce such good monitors for such a low cost? By the way I have a dedicated sub amp at 40hz. These are good but not that good :) Kudos to the manufacturers.
I just bought a pair ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Fantastic!
Good review Warren. Would be a production like a pro if you stereo mic your speaker demo with high quality mics so we can hear the speakers better 🙂👍 Thanks for the giveaway, I won't win but it's a nice gesture 👍
I don't know.. But I always like kali more than krk and Yamaha...... Cuz they are flat but somehow they produce more and perfect low end.... ❤❤🔋
Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on the 666k subs. Rock n Roll!
Ha! Thanks!
O.o White OG Kali-Lps up in this club :-) And yes, The new ones that are louder would be the bee knees, though. Hey I have my OG Kali's upside down-am I messing up my stereo field doing that? Thanks for posting, Warren!
Upside down is the way to go if you need the tweeters closer to your ears! You'll mess with the stereo image if you put them on their side.
@@kaliaudio Thank you for answer!
@Luminous Brilliance: You want the tweeters to be at ear level. So if you need them to be upside down to accomplish that, go ahead. Stereo imaging won't be affected as much as low end perception, I would think. .
nice, I could use these right now
I bought my Kali's after watching your review heh
Great! I have these new ones up now and I’m using them!
i dunno if its just a bias that i already have in my head cause of price brand etc, but to me the genelecs sounding way cleaner just thru this video, comparatively the kali sounded way more boxy and muffled
I've got an old pair of Tannoy 5A's, I know these new Kali's would make a hell of a difference to my monitoring. Fingers crossed
My gosh, there couldn't be better time than right now for these things to get to the market for me :D
Marvellous
i literally just got kali lp-6’s for my birthday yesterday and i think they’re the originals. i’m still happy though
I would bring them back for the newer model if price is the same,they should have discounted the older LP-6 model!
I would return them and get a refund and then buy the newer model
I’m glad they updated these and made them a bit louder. In the store they were noticeably quieter than any others on the monitor wall. Even turning them all the way up, we had to turn all the other ones down. In the studio they sounded great, the extra headroom is nice, then they will have fixed the quiet hiss the originals could have.
@Produce Like A Pro Nice review. Would the LP-6 benefit from a treble lift like you did with the IN-5? Would of the two did you prefer?
The IN-5 is a wonderful monitor! Both are incredible value for money, it comes down to how much you want to spend
Iam still using Mackie CR4
What do you think of Kali Audio LP-8? Are they actually better than the 6?
Warren and Kali are divided on this. He likes the 6s the better; most of our staff prefer the 8s. Perhaps our tastes aren't as well developed and we're just gaga over that little extra bit of bass. :)
I love the LP-6's! To me they are best in class! I love the balance between the lows and mids!
@@kaliaudio both are amazing! I personal love each model, however the LP-6 wipes the floor with other models!
@@Producelikeapro well OK then! You may have saved me a few clams. Also my room really isn't big enough for eights at the moment but thinking down the road I may upgrade.
is there a compersion between those and IK multimedia MTM ?
Lol, I find it ironic that Sam and I are watching this listening to Kali LP6 demo through our Kali LP6's! I think we have entered some sort of time paradox of kali proportions 😅
Haha amazing!
Kaliception! Love it.
@@kaliaudio We are so calling it that from now on ;)
@@kaliaudio haha indeed!
@@commontimeproductions hah do it!
I sound-off between the KRK Rokit 5 4Gs and these Kalis would be interesting.
Öy! Two times in german, Auf Wiedersehen and Tschüß.
Ja! Doch!
Hi Warren!!!!!
Hi John!
Hey there. I have a hopefully small question. I am in the market to either buy the LP-6 (or 8) V2 or the IN-8 V2 which are 170 euros more. My listening distance is around 2,5M - 3M. I prefer mids and highs, and good soundstage and imaging. For 170 euros more, what does the IN-8 offer more than the LP-6 V2 and is it significantly (170 euros) better? Thanks!
Was the mid range flatter clearer than it sounds through your Mike , that mid range bloom would really concern me ?
It seems to me that the Kalis have a bit more of a boxy sound (in the 300Hz region) compared with the Genelecs. But, of course, hard to really discern the truth via ta moving microphone. :)
You got bigger and smaller boxes in your room. Is it better to buy the 8" Kalis? And for what do you have the bigger boxes? Best wishes!
Hi Warren, I'm about to purchase my 1st studio monitors, I produce EDM mainly and i cannot decide between T7V & LP-6. I believe the Adams have a scooped mids and are over doing the highs while the Kalis have a flat response. would you help me decide ?
As much as your setup can give you better sound, especially if you come from the very very ismple stuff. A good mix can also make a great differene. I have a pair of unknown Pioneer bookshelve speakers using good old spaeker wire, connected to a 15+ year old Panasonic AV receiver which gets its audio from a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 connected to my PC. The speakers are tuned very simply by myself because they have a big boost at around 140 - 145 Hz so I lowered that and boosted the treble a decent bit for added brightness. Most music sounds pretty good on these, but a good mix like Whiskey from Steve Maggiora sounds amazing compared to most music I find on spotify. I'm not a mixing/mastering engineer, I just want good quality stuff to enjoy music and occasionally mess around with synths. But mostly to enjoy music. And although a better pair of speakers can be nice, finding a good mix is at least half the work. If not more.
Never heard that song Whiskey before but I fell in love with it the moment I hear it in this video so thanks for that!
How do these compare to the JBL 306P MK2 for music listening, not monitoring?
Is it worth it to pay more to get the In-8s? Can you hear much difference in a room this size?
The IN-8s really are a whole step above. You'll hear it anywhere.
Wait, have you just said 'sayonara' in your farewell at closing? 😲
Haha trying to change it up!
I see you've gone back to your old Genelecs
Which IsoAcoustics are those. My speakers are on order and want the best isolation.
are you still using that iD44 sitting there on the side? hows that ad/da with the Kalis?
I use every day
This kaki audio and the Adam audio A5x which one should I go for my home studio
I'm listening on LP-8s. I have one problem with them. The sound is so realistic, My cat leaps on top of them and tries to bat at the tweeter. He wants to capture the sound (and the blue light.) I need to find out how to keep him off of them. He is quite athletic and it just might mean he can't come in here while they are on.
Hey nice vid , how they compare to Yamaha Hs5/7??
I don't know if someone already mentioned it, but I wonder what happened to the new genelecs? 😅
I’ve been using the older models while recalling previous mixes
Damn, Matt Lange is so good
He is! Thanks for watching
They look like a mix between genelec and jbl.
Honestly man I’m having a hard time deciding these and the RCF ayra pro 6 ate the same price…
Hey Warren. Have some tips for me how to record a whole band at once with multipletracks for less money. Have only 8 channels right now (Clarett)… what should i buy to record drums bass 2guitars trumpet and piano…
Add a Clarett OctoPre for an additional 8 channels.
I owed lp6's and loved them, but that dam standing noise drove me nuts. I said if they ever get rid of that I would consider them again. and now that I think about it... next to my hs5 they where half as loud, I had the hs5 at 12 o'clock, and kali set to almost all the way up which made for more noise floor. So I may look at these again.
Noise floor is down 12 dB!
I guess its like in5's which have so low amount of hiss that cannot bother anyone. Love those monitors.
Hi Warren. Question for yourself or the community to answer. If one chooses to use a monitor controller with a console...what outputs from the console would you use - do you come from the mix output or the actual monitor outputs? I presumed using monitor outputs from console to monitor controller. The reason I am asking is because I want to use my console strictly for tracking and sending some cues etc, but not for mixing on, as I mix in the box, and would rather keep the console off. I am happy to monitor straight from Daw when mixing. During tracking obviously I want full monitor control of whats going through the desk and also whats going into the daw, so I am thinking of a monitor controller, and now (I may be overthinking this) about what output is correct, is it your console monitor outputs or the mix outputs? It's my first time considering a monitor controller. ps** for the price point, Kali's are nothing short of awesome.
May i ask what happaned to the Genelec and sub (the one)you setup not a while back? Saving up for those and would love an honnest user review.
I love them! The Sub was loaner and they needed it back, so when I get a new one I will be back in action!
What’s the difference between the old version and new version?
