KLH Six, are these capacitors already upgraded?
New owner of a pair of some KLH Six speakers. One is old.. I haven't opened that one yet. The newer of the two has 169*** serial number, with the screw in woofer and recessed back plate. Do these caps look like they've already been replaced? I don't have the full backstory, the owner...- sirvancelot

KLH Model Six recap: blood, sweat & tears
Hey, all. OK, I realize this subject has been addressed in other threads, but I'm still confused about what to do. First off, I love these KLH 6's with my little push pull 15-watt maggie. But the left speaker suddenly sounded dull, and it turned out the tweeter was not working. The tweeter...- Moonwatcher

Would Smaller Advent tweeters work in KLH Model 6?
So I blew a tweeter in one of my KLH Model Six speakers. I have two Smaller Advent fried egg tweeters that I have been meaning to sell. Would one of them work in the KLH Six? Looks like both are 4 ohm. Thanks!- Moonwatcher

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... -

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... -
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... -

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 Model Six Restoration
Greetings all! Just picked up a pair of these classic beauties for a mere $10.00! I hooked them up and they have a good amount of bottom end, but not a lot upstairs. (no pun intended...as far as you know) I'm assuming they will need to be recapped and they will definitely need to be refinished... -
KLH 6 tweeter question
Just received a pair of KLH 6's, circa 1969 or so judging from the stamp on the woofer. These are the ones where I can remove the woofer and tweeter with screws. What they are connected to is in my signature. I previously had a pair of Bose 301's (Latest ones) connected to my receiver. I am...- marcthisdate

Orphaned KLH Model Six - serial number 0156
Checked out an estate sale today and came home with this little orphaned speaker. Must have PiO caps because the tweeter is all there. Cabinet is in okay shape, just needs a refinish. I'll either have to re-home it to someone with a close proximity serial number OR wait until I find something...- nickdinatale

Found some Old KLH Model Six's
Been a lot of threads on model Six's as of late and they were one KLH model I still had not come across around here for my little collection (32, 23, 17, 24, five). This pair came up on CList here 2 days ago for $40 so I acted. They are a mismatch of two that appear to be very early versions... -
