    AR4ax Vintage Speakers...Thoughts?

    Hi everyone, Have an opportunity to pick up a pair of AR4ax speakers. The guy has had them for sale locally for a at least a month and he still hasn’t sold them. From what I understand, these are a must for my style and a perfect fit for my collection. Currently running KLH Model Sixes in my...

    Advent/1 or KLH Model Six - That...is the question

    I have a pair of KLH model sixes that I absolutely love. Being a huge fan of Henry Kloss, I couldn’t pass up a pair of Advent/1 Speakers I came across for 50.00. They’re in amazing shape, and everything is perfect on them so nothing is required to be fixed. However, as much as I’d like to keep...

    KLH Model Twenty Three - Restored

    I paid $150 for these speakers plus a very clean Sansui Model Seven receiver from the original owner, and I was pretty excited to get them home for a listen. Unfortunately, both tweeters in the 23's were dead! No problem, I thought, new caps will cure them. It was not the case. Both tweets...

    Harman Kardon 330B Amplifier/Receiver - Is it safe for my KLH Model Sixes??

    I picked up an HK 330B that I LOVE. I'm running my KHL Model sixes thru it and it sounds great. After some different reading on the net here and their, I got worried thinking maybe that I'm underpowering the speakers and causing damage... Anybody's thoughts on this? Is a Harmon Kardon 330...

    KLH Model Twenty Issue!!!

    Hey guys, I’m having an issue and I wanted to know if anyone could possibly help me! I bought a beautiful model 20. It’s in great shape. It is the FM/a.m. model.

    A (nearly) full KLH Model Four restoration guide

    Close to a year and a half ago I purchased my first pair of KLH Model Fours. They were in working order, but not perfect cosmetically. I had read all I could find on AK, as well as the rest of the internet, so I already knew that they were pretty well-regarded, and semi-rare. I was in the midst...

    KLH Model 12s for $300 w/one being muffled

    I have the option to buy these KLH model 12 with the two crossovers for $300. They are in amazing cosmetic condition. The guy says one of the speakers sounds muffled. Question 1, would $300 be fair? Question 2, could the muffled sound just mean the x-over contour just needs recapped? Question...

    Unidentified KLH Speakers

    Hey guys, I someone on Craigslist in my area is selling a pair of KLH speakers that appear to be from around '89-'91, as their cabinets are the same style as my Infinity RS-2001's from 1991. I'm trying to built a second setup around a B&O Beogram 4004 and Kenwood KR-4400 (currently B&O Beogram...

    Hellos and Intros

    Hello! Came here on the recommendation of a friend as I recently came into a KLH Model 20 rather unexpectedly. I have never owned a turntable before so I'm trying to educate myself so I can enjoy it. I've got a lot of reading to do, but thought I'd say hello in case I pop into old threads about...

    KLH MODEL 5 RECAP Q'S

    So...this is a pretty novice question on my part but people here have been such a huge help so here I am to ask about replacing resistors. I've recapped the Model 17, 23 and 6 but have never replaced the resistors so far. I'm about to recap a Model 5 and it replacing the caps doesn't worry me...

    KLH sx-9 Goodwill find...twelve bucks total. Huge but not impressive.

    It needs one woofer replaced, so I'd likely replace both. Seeking any info that would be useful in a decision as to how much time and money to put into repairing them. Woofers are 15", soft midranges 3.5" and 1" tweeter. There is very little insulation/packing/whatever you call it in the...

    3 truckloads of speakers...

    I answered a craigslist ad and bought about 3 pickup truck loads of speakers for $100. Some are in good shape, some need a new surround or driver, and some have trashed cabinets. I'm trying to sort out what I've bought, what's worth restoring/repairing/keeping and what is best turned into an art...

    KLH Model 23's

    I just picked up some KLH 23's and I must say they are very nice. I had them hooked up to my Realistic STA-960 and was listening to the radio when "Another Day In Paradise" by Phil Collins came on. The bass and soundstage was incredible! I took one apart to see if the crossover has been...

I want to pull the trigger on one but would like to hear your guys' feedback? The HH Scott has more power but the KLH really...

    Sansui Free Stack

    So I have been offered a sansui stack consisting of a b-55, c-77, and t-5 for 40 bucks. Don't really want to take it if its not worth it. I would use in in place of my 10 year old cheap Sony STR-DH100 powering my two KLH model 5s (8 Ohms and i think 80 Watts). I am anything but an audiophile...

    Surround Dope (Sealant) Application Technique

    I just redoped a pair of Utah drivers. The original sealant had completely dried away. This is the first time I did this. But I had an idea before I started and I put that idea into practice when applying. I connected the speaker and ran at low volume a 30 Hz tone, just loud enough to see the...

    KLH Model Nines

    I have an opportunity to purchase a set of 6 panels with power supplies and the brackets to attach the panels together.

    KLH Model Nines

    I have the opportunity to buy an excellent set of 6 panels. My question for this forum is what amplification is proper for these rare electrostatics - Tube? Solid state? Wattage? Mono blocks or stereo amp? What do any of you Model Nine owners out there use and why? What shouldn't I use and why...

    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...

    To Dope or NOT

    I have a Utah A-100 12" 3-way with horn and tweeter system. The woofers have cloth surrounds. I purchased the doping stuff but a member has brought to my attention that it is possible that although AR and KLH doped the cloth surrounds, that doesn't mean Utah doped their cloth surrounds. Were...
