Like I said, I think this accounts for most of the difference between the LP6 and the HS8. It makes the highs that are there sound more colorful (in the sense of having another dimension).

The EQ that I added makes the HS8 sound like it has more breath in it. I really think that this matters for a monitor, because different cymbals are harder to distinguish from one another without as much of these reverberations. You get the "ting" but not as much of the note, and it sounds thinner. On the Kali, it sounds like a dinner bell, while on the Yamaha, it sounds like a thin aluminum chime being struck. That gives the HS8s the feeling of not being able to hear the "voice" of a ride cymbal.

It seems that the mids that contain the reverberations and "voice" of the cymbals are not as present in the HS8. I don't believe that it is due to the high frequencies. The sound difference that I was picking up between the two speakers is that on the Kali, I was able to distinguish different cymbals better by their different pitches. But this issue, in my opinion, doesn't need to be addressed. It is a very pleasing sound, while the Yamaha sounds more artificial, like it's playing more limited frequencies, which I did find to be the case when I pitch-shifted it even higher.

Doing a band-pass at the highest frequencies and listening to some cymbals in a song, the Kali still sounds acoustic and recognizable. Prong 1 is that the tweeters don't reach as high. The difference in the high end is 2-pronged, but I think the EQ was able to fix 90% of it. The HS8's highs have a kind of high mid sound to them, and I discovered that the tweeters simply don't produce frequencies as high as the Kalis'. I just want to say that the HS8 sounds much fuller than the LP6, less location dependent, while the LP6 has more definition in the high end. I'll upload a pic of my EQ curve when I get home. So then, for the next few days, at home, I A/B tested the LP6 against the HS8, and I came up with some opinions on how the HS8s sound and how flat they are, and an EQ curve I used to make it sound more like the LP6. The Sterling 8 sounded completely scooped out. The Yamaha HS5 and HS7 sounded harsh compared to the LP6, lacking in clarity and depth, but the Yamaha HS8 sounded much fuller. Sound-wise, the JBL, Adams sounded comparable to the Kali, probably with less bass. The Yamahas and the Sterlings had MUCH quieter hiss, the Sterling's being nearly non-existent. I went to Guitar Center then and listened to a bunch of different monitors, including JBL 308P/6, Adam Audio T7V, KRK Rokits, Yamaha HS#, and Sterling MX8.Īs an aside, I brought one of my Kalis in so I could compare the hiss, and the results were as follows: The Kali was the loudest hiss of any of them (It also had the lowest output.) The JBL, Adams, and KRK had comparable and bad hiss, but just a smidge quieter than the Kali. While I like the sound a lot, the hiss was just too loud for me. In short, I bought a pair of Kali LP6 monitors due to all of the hype. what if you compare them to some other monitors, and you think the others are flatter? Is it not okay then to EQ a monitor, to sound like the other one? I know "They are supposed to stay flat, DON'T EQ your monitors" My description of the difference is dramatic just to get the point across. People, including the guy at guitar center who owns them told me they are completely flat and uncolored.
