    KLH Model 17 Woofer Clicking

    Just got this beautiful pair of KLH Model 17s, restored caps (wow!) and (attempted to) re-seal surrounds. I recently started thinking I was hearing a rattling from the left and sure enough, there is. Here is a google drive link to video showing the clicking sound at 5 Hz (right in time with the...

    KLH 17 versus University LTV Medallion

    I have the opportunity to pick up locally a pair of KLH 17 or University LTV Medallion for the same price ($200), both in mint condition. The KLH was even recapped but I’m not sure if the University was recently serviced. The seller got them from a tech who said they didn’t need it and they do...

    KLH 17 Resto-mod?

    Have a pair of the new KLH tweeters being put in all the new models. I am thinking of putting them in a pair of vintage 17’s. I know, or I am sure, the crossovers will have to addressed. But, I have now idea how to address it, no experience. Any thoughts or directions?

    Dayton 8uf capacitor wire broken

    Just wondering if it's possible to use a cap with a lead that is broken, down to the quick. Maybe gouge out enough material around it to solder in a lead? This is for a KLH 17 crossover calling for 8uf caps, and I was excited to find this one in a drawer, an 8.2, which I figure should work--if I...

    Vintage Speakers - and Pioneer SX780

    Hello all, First post - patience. I've been running a Pioneer SX780 for some time now, love Pioneer SX series. However, my speaker knowledge base often gets overrun with too many options. I want to run an A/B setup to play both, or just A depending on situation. Budget isn't a huge issue...

    KLH Model 17's-buy or not?

    Came across these things on Ebay. Heard these KLH's are pretty great, but are they worth that price? Do they even look to be in good-sounding shape? Seller says they "work flawlessly", but that leaves the sound quality pretty subjective...

    Uh oh. Bought another pair of KLH (Model 17)

    This could become a trend. Recently, I posted that I rediscovered my KLH model 6 speakers which had been relegated to a closet for a decade or two. I was so impressed when I hooked them up to a good source (even without replacing capacitors) that I decided to try to find another pair for my...

    KLH 12’s recap/tweeter

    Hello, I’m really excited. Just picked up a pair of KLH 12’s. I think the reason I was able to grab them was because it was listed as “Nice Old Speakers”. Wow, huge and heavy. They’re in really nice cosmetic shape. Woofers are tight. Seal is good. I connected them to my B&K AVR 507 and...

    New KLH 20 Crossover with WIMA Film Capacitors

    The crossovers in a pair of KLH 20 speakers were restored/upgraded with WIMA MKS2 capacitors. The KLH 20 speaker is essentially a KLH 17 speaker with a 4 ohm woofer and share the same crossover. Whereas the KLH 17 was sold separately, the KLH 20 speakers were part of the KLH Model 20 Music...

    KLH 33's vs. Epicure 180's, thoughts?

    I'm looking or opinions on these two speakers, I have owned or do own other Epicure (100, 200) and KLH (model 6, 17) speakers and I enjoy them all. It is my understanding that both these models are different sounding from the other speakers in their respective lines - the KLH being a ported...

    Dynaco A-25/35 or KLH Model 17...and why?

    I am editing the original post to add my existing situation. [orig] Still searching for a new pair of speakers for a new to me Yamaha CR-820. Was leaning toward a pair of Polk Monitor Model 10s with the Peerless tweets but I am looking for something a little smaller. [added] I have been using...

    Any Opinions on KLH 17s compared to vintage EPI m100s?

    Much to my wife's chagrin, I have accumulated a set of both KLH 17s [can be seen here http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/more-odd-klh-17s-wierd-factory-cab-finish.776940/#post-10659112] and the first version of EPI 100s. I got them both basically for free over the last year. Last...

    More Odd KLH 17s... wierd [factory?] cab. finish

    Don't tell my wife... Someone had kicked these out to the curb and in an unguarded moment I took them in. Haven't looked deep inside, but they sound perfectly splendid and appear to already have been rehab'ed. But the outsides SCREAM '70s! The finish appears original. 1) Has anyone seen this...

    Found a matching tuner for my Voice of Music Tube amp

    A few months ago I picked up a 1962 Voice of Music 1448 integrated amplifier for $40 and today I got the matching 1465 tuner that goes with it, paid about $80 shipped. I had the KLH Model 17 before I got either paid about $20 for them. I have about as much in this setup as the tuner alone cost...

    Water Damaged KLH 17 cabinet

    Recently picked up a pair of KLH 17's for $20. They are missing the correct tweeters, have a lot of misc cosmetic damage (that I can repair) and the killer is that one of the cabinets has water damage. Any suggestions on how to save it? Do I have to cut away the veneer and remove all the damaged...

    KLH model 17 replacing caps and restoring old surrounds (sealing them?)

    I scored a pair nice 17's at goodwill yesterday for 12.99. It's been a long dry spell on the goodwill front for me. While I was googling 17's I read something about sealing the surrounds. Okay I've messed with speakers for years what would a person seal or recondition the surrounds with? Latex...

    It's raining KLH speakers at my place

    I went on a road trip and did some CL speaker shopping. I came away with two pairs of KLH 17's and two pairs of KLH 32's. I'm figuring to restore them. About half don't have sound coming from the tweeters. I'll open them up to see if it the cap or capacitor in each one. The 17's. (I have the...

    Does anyone else recall the ORIGINAL KLH-17 speakers?

    For more years that I'm comfortable revealing, I've had an eBay search in place for KLH-17. I get emails almost every day about new postings. I don't want to buy a pair. I'm looking for information. I had a pair back in 1963. I worked part time at Seiden Sound in Schenectady. They got in a...
