    Receiver options for KLH Model Fives

    Hey all! I had two options present themselves lately and could use some assistance. Right now I'm using a pioneer sx-680. An Arcam SA10 for $400 and a Cambridge AXR100 for $350 were offered to me. I've researched a fair bit on both and have hit an analysis paralysis phase and could use some...

    Erhard Audio

    Hey all! I just wanted to shout out to Holger and his gear, I have listened to KEF LS50s, KEF Q150, B&W 704 SII, Dynaco A25s, KLH 5s and even Sennheisser headphones! The Buddys and Aretha rock so hard and have such holographic imaging. In comparison with other amps that I have heard power all...

    KLH Model 5

    These don't come up much, so it's hard to determine value even looking at e-bay. There's a pair for sale a few hours away from me. The seller is willing to meet somewhere closer. His asking price is $400, says crossovers have been redone. Cosmetically in decent but not pristine shape from...

    KLH Model 5 - all bass, no mid or tweeter

    Hello! I always had a dream of getting myself a vintage stereo set up, but never got to it. Yesterday I on a vim bought a pair of KLH Model 5. I could not test them as the woman was just getting rid of some ex-husband stuff, and the speakers were the only things left. Either way I just hooked...

    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...

    Hey all! I hope everyone is safe! I have been doing tons of research on turntables, and haven’t landed on anything yet, however Thorens TD 160 and Rega Planar 3 have popped up very frequently and look pretty sweet! So far in my HiFi adventure I’ve noticed a few things, different sources and...

    Which would you choose between these two KLH Models?

    Hi all, Just looking for opinions. I have the chance to buy a pair of all original and in great shape KLH Model 20s or Model 5s. Both will need a recap but foam surrounds are in great shape on either. The model 20s are $90 and the Model 5s are $175. Both are in my budget. I'm not sure how...

    Acoustic Suspension sound in 2020

    I really like the sound of the 1960's-1970's acoustic suspension speakers owning a pair of AR-11's. For a second installation, two questions for you folks who know far more than I-- - First, what if any new speakers have a similar sound? - Second, any thoughts on KLH 5 and 6 vs. Large Advents...

    New or Vintage Amp for KLH 5

    Hello all! I am looking to create a happy couple with my KLH 5s. I enjoy relaxed listening, my space is small, so I don’t need tons of power. Right now I’m using my Scott 299B and it’s great! The Scott is for my KLH 6s, I had a Marantz Model 22 that was powering my 5s, which is now out of...

    KLH 5 Orientation

    I have a pair or KLH 5's and am moving them to a new location. In order to place them far enough apart to get good stereo separation I would new to put them on their sides. I don't think I've ever seen them in that configuration which leads me to believe it's not such a good isea. Anyone have...

    KLH 5 Woofer Ground Question

    I am re-assembling some KLH Fives; I started with empty cabinets and have gathered the components together. I have refurbished the crossovers. Since I did not have an image (and can't find one online) of what the wiring pattern to the speakers within the cabinet looked like, and schematics just...

    KLH 5

    I bought KLH 5 speakers. One does not have KLH mid drivers. Question: Which KLH speakers share the same mid driver with the model 5? They are 4-1/2" square with square magnets. I do not see any model numbers on driver. If they come from another KLH and look the same, are they compatable for...
