Kali Audio LP-UNF Professional Ultra Near Field Studio Monitors with 3D Image Waveguide, 5.1 Bluetooth Connectivity, Touch-Sensitive Volume Slider and Boundary EQ Settings - Pair

I use these way outside the intended use as ultra near field monitors, putting them on either side of my TV while connected to a sub in my small bedroom for both watching movies/shows and airplaying music, and I typically listen 1.5-2 meters away on my bed or desk, raised to ear level using stands. The measurements and impressions of this little speaker are impressive for the price, and seemed to fit the bill for me as small, inexpensive speakers with an accurate/flat response and low distortion. I was worried about performance since I'm using them a little farther than the intended .8m, and also being too dry/boring since they are studio monitors, but I'm very happy with the sound; it's balanced, clear, and very revealing with accurate imaging and a strong phantom center, even when I'm not perfectly on axis like lying on the bed. It gets plenty loud for a small-medium sized bedroom, especially if you add a sub, and you'll have no problem feeling immersed in both music and shows being very clear and detailed, but in a pleasantly natural and non-fatiguing way. The DIP switches are especially helpful in shaping the sound further and I found it really easy to find a balanced and pleasing sound for my placement just using familiar media to fine tune them. My only negative might be the interconnect cable being of an unusual connector type and fairly short at 5 feet, making it hard to conceal the cable if you use it a little farther part than the recommended .8m, but there is an 8ft accessory cable you can buy direct from Kali, or if you have cable skills, make your own. Overall, I'm very happy with these speakers and don't feel I'll be buying anything else for a long time.

I can't say enough good stuff about this professional studio monitor. It sounds fantastic with clear and precise sound. Also has a eq for where you decide to place the monitor for the best sound possible. 80 watts of power is enough for any level you wanna listen to.

I did a lot of research on which monitors to buy. Initially I was going to go with Yamaha HS6's or KRK ROKIT 6's, but after asking for community feedback on Reddit, these were a clear favorite for someone in the $400-$600 budget range. I can see why.The ability to customize the EQ on the back is wonderful, and I love that there are pictured instructions of how to set the EQ switches based on how you plan to position the monitors. If you go to Kali's website, they provide an even more detailed explanation. I have not acoustically treated my room yet, and they still sound amazing.To be fair, this is my first set of studio monitors, so I don't have much to compare them to. Prior to purchasing these monitors, I was using Sony MDR-7506 headphones (which are amazing). These monitors sound just as good (if not better) than the sound coming from my headphones.To save a few bucks, I took a gamble on buying them used from Alto Music. I was really worried about getting something someone had not taken care of, but I made the right choice; they arrived in excellent condition. I wouldn't even know they were used if someone had gifted them to me.

Premetto che amo ascoltare la musica nel modo migliore possibile e che possiedo uno stereo di alto livello. Ho comprato queste casse per metterle in cucina pilotate dal telefonino via bluetooth. Pur essendo sistemate in un luogo tutt'altro che ottimale, la loro resa ha superato di molto le mie aspettative. Dopo un rodaggio di qualche giorno il suono si è rivelato molto equilibrato, piacevole, musicale e non affaticante. A questo prezzo non credo esista nessuna combinazione cassa passiva e amplificatore che possa avvicinarsi alla qualità sonora di questi piccoli diffusori.

Sound quality is amazing. Excellent. A class. Extraordinary. Budget friendly. It is equivalent to yamaha and adam audio. Satisfaction 100%
