Would having both the Kali LP-UNF and Kali LP-6 v2 on the same desk be a redundant waste

[Luvtron]

Hi. Newbie to the forum here. Hoping to get some expert advice.

I have a 65" wide desk for my studio set up in an untreated regular sized bedroom.

I have enough space to put 2 sets of studio monitors on the desk for a dual monitor setup to switch between the two to check mixes.

Currently I have the Kali LP-UNF sitting on the inside on some isolation pads. And I have a pair of 1st Gen KRK Rokit 6s on the outside on ISO pads next to the Kali's.

The Rokit 6s, in an A/B with the LP-UNFs are proving how muddy and smeared and harsh sounding they are when compared to the Kali's.

The Rokit 6s need to be replaced. I want to pick a 6 or 7 inch powered monitor that would compliment the Kali's and have a little bit deeper bass and be a little louder.

My budget is up to $800 a pair.

Would the LP-6 v2 be too similar to the LP-UNFs to be redundant? Or would they compliment each other well?

What else would you suggest as a near-field compliment to the LP-UNF?

I wonder if the IN-5s might be a better compliment?

Thanks.

All the Kalis are fairly neutral, so you'll mostly be getting some extra bass extension and/or volume capability with the larger models. You might be better looking at ARC Studio which includes emulation of other speakers as well as room correction. Couple that with a sub to give some bass extension and you should be able to get a pretty good idea of what things would sound like with a range of speakers. In theory iLoud's sub should be able to do the same speaker emulation as the ARC Studio box, but I don't know whether the software allows it - maybe ask them?

Thanks for your response and your suggestions. I am not interested in integrating a sub into my system.
