Iv heard the kali lp6 vs the Yamaha Hs7 on a YouTube video shootout where they both had their own mixes and the Kalis were not as defined in low mids. Iv also heard that from other shootout video comments about the Kalis, I was considering them aswell and I heard yes they are good intro monitors but ultimately idk how much better, if at all they are to yamahas in terms of instrument seperation. Those arent the exact model youre talking about though, but worth mentioning Since I heard those complaints about the lp6 and 8s
