Notes: V2 ("2nd Wave") revision, flagged vs original V1 LP-8. Kali's own page gives only a shared "starting at $249" figure for the LP-Series (which appears to reference LP-6 V2); LP-8 V2 is NOT separately priced on the manufacturer page. price_usd=299 is a street price sourced from Sweetwater (each), not a confirmed Kali MSRP — flagged as inferred/secondary-source pricing per golden rules. Designed/engineered in California per site; manufacturing location not stated. channel_count=1 reflects one cabinet; commonly sold/used as stereo pairs.
