400 bucks budget for a pair of studio monitors for home studio: JBL 306p MKII or Kali LP-6 2nd

[Dreamers2]

I'm having an hard time deciding between these 2 pairs
Looking from an hardware standpoint i would go for the Kali since they offer a bigger woofer at a lower price than the JBL (159 rather than 199)

My use would be in a fillmmaking home studio. I've seen the review of the JBL but unfortunalyt no one reviewed the LP v2. Also, which one have less hiss, that rather important for me.
Thanks a lot

Here's a review of the LP-6v2: https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/kali_lp-6v2/
Same Klippel Nearfield Scanner that Amir uses and same data quality.

They are very close, the Kali a little bassier and more linear wins though.

FYI spinorama.org is a great website that tries to index all of the objective measurements on loudspeakers. They have the data / graphs and who / how they were generated.
