KLH Model Five
3-Way Acoustic Suspension Closed Hi-Fi Loudspeaker with riser base
ATTENTION! THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS ONE SPEAKER UNIT. TO CREATE A STEREO PAIR, YOU NEED TO ORDER TWO.
Rediscover legendary sound with the KLH Model Five, a meticulously reimagined version of one of the most iconic loudspeakers in audio history. Originally introduced in 1968 and celebrated as a best-seller throughout the 1970s, the Model Five returns with modern engineering while preserving the timeless acoustic suspension design pioneered by audio legend Henry Kloss.
This 3-way acoustic suspension loudspeaker features a 10” pulp-paper cone woofer, 4” pulp-paper cone midrange, and a 1” anodized aluminum dome tweeter, all housed in die-cast aluminum baskets for superior rigidity and performance. The sealed, ventless cabinet design delivers natural, lifelike sound with exceptional clarity and dynamic range, regardless of room placement.
The KLH Model Five is engineered with a thirteen-component crossover network using premium inductors and capacitors, ensuring seamless frequency transitions and rich tonal balance. With a frequency response of 42Hz – 20kHz ±3dB, 90.5dB sensitivity, and power handling up to 600 watts peak, this speaker is built to satisfy even the most discerning audiophiles.
A standout feature is the Three-Position Acoustic Balance Control, allowing users to tailor the speaker’s output to suit different room acoustics and personal preferences.
Available in three luxurious real wood veneer finishes—West African Mahogany, English Walnut, and Nordic Noir—the Model Five complements any interior with its mid-century modern styling. Each finish is paired with a refined magnetic grille: Old World Linen for Mahogany, Stone Wash Linen for Walnut, and Medici Grey for Nordic Noir. Grilles are also available separately for full customization.
The speaker stands on a matte black powder-coated 14-gauge steel riser base with a 5° slant, optimizing sound projection and enhancing its elegant profile.
Whether you're a vintage audio enthusiast or a modern listener seeking high-fidelity performance, the KLH Model Five offers a perfect blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and acoustic excellence. Backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty, it’s a sound investment in both style and substance.
