    KLH Model 20- lack of bass response

    Hi, folks. I'm new here, but have read a lot of good info on the site about KLH 20 speakers and rebuilding them. I rescued mine a few months ago from a garbage pile by the street. The cabinets were in beautiful condition, but they were incredibly mildewy smelling. I had to replace the grills...

    I’m looking to pick up a set of KLH 20s for $50. The buy will throw in some Sansui SP200s for another $25. Opinions?

    my main system is a Kenwood Model 11 series 2 with Klipsch KG4 on the A and Sound Dynamics CM 500s n the B. I’m looking for something less muddy for the B system. The model 11 claims to push 80 watts a channel but when I had it refurbed the guy tested it and said it’s more. What do y’all think...

    KLH Model Twenty Speakers Paired With KLH Model 24 Receiver?

    I have nice pair of model twenty KLH speakers and I was wondering if I could pair it with a later model 24 receiver? The output for the twenty four is rated at 8ohms but the model twenty speakers are 4ohms. I'm not an expert on this and but I know in some cases you drive a 4ohm speaker even if...

    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 20 turntable receiver refurb with iec power cord and socket

    Recently I picked up a KLH 20 turntable/receiver unit without a power cord, and contemplated the often suggested modification to an iec mickey mouse power cord. This "precision adjustment" started to seem a little sketchy when it came to drilling out the power cord pin receptors--so instead i...

    KLH 20 dead tweeter, modern replacement?

    Hi, I am a new member here, but have read the forums for some time when cruising junk stores for vintage gear. As fate would have it, I lucked into a Pioneer SA-9100 for peanuts a few days ago and found a pair of KLH 20's in a nearby thrift store. Well, I did the Parts Express Shuffle and...
