    KLH Model 6 possible dead tweeter?

    I recently picked up a pair of KLH Model 6s (screwed woofer, not glued) and found that the tweeter in one of them sounded a bit weak. I tried flipping the channels from my amp to check if that was the issue but it persisted in the same speaker, and after a recap today it's still the same. The...

    Not 1 but 4 KLH Model Six! Any advice on fixing up?

    Couldn't sleep and was browsing Facebook marketplace and saw someone was selling 4 KLH Model Six for 100 bucks! Said he found them in the trash? But either way they appear mostly undamaged besides some peeling on the veneer which I plan on fixing. The grills are removable and the woofers are...

    KLH 6 (3rd version) Tweeter Question

    Hello all, I recently picked up a pair of KLH 6s that I absolutely love. They are the third version with screws in the baffles and inset terminal plate. While I enjoyed them from the start, I realized they needed recapping. I also heard some distortion from one tweeter (on very high...

    Is the KLH Model 6 short on bass?

    I picked up a pair of these from a guy on CL last night. These are early run models -- serial numbers in the 20,000s -- and so the grill and everything else is glued down. They sounded a little bass shy in his place, but I thought it could be the fact that he had them on stands, the amp was...

    KLH 6 Crossover Confusion

    Sorry to be redundant, I have another thread open on my 6's refurb but wanted to bump this issue up. I have a pair, circa 1969. I opened the first one to do a recap, looked at the crossover and man, it does not look like anything else I've seen in the forums. Is this normal? As far as I can...
