Short answer: the Kali Audio LP-6 V2. It ranks #37 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 4.4/5, at $498; the APS Klasik 2020 ranks #58, rated 4.3/5, and costs $1,800, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
What the APS Klasik 2020 does well: Analog nearfield monitors with very even vocals, tuneful bass, sharp imaging and strong detail, with XLR and RCA inputs. The catch: Its all-analogue design means no streaming, Bluetooth, DSP or automatic room correction.
The case for the Kali Audio LP-6 V2: Affordable studio monitors with balanced sound and solid bass, plus switches to tune them for your room. The catch: The 2.5dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz leaves some tonal unevenness.
Buy the Kali Audio LP-6 V2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the APS Klasik 2020 and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
