    Help me decide! JBL, HPM, KLH....

    I need some help. i'm currently rocking KLH 6's and been getting to thinking that they lack a little punch SOMETIMES. I've owned HPM-100s in the past and thought they were a tad bright. And now I've been offered a pair of JBL L80T3s for a good price. What do you guys think about the JBLs in...

    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...

    Help rebuilding KLH 363 crossovers?

    Hi all, I have a pair of KLH 363's that I picked up from a thrift store for a song and they're, overall, in great shape. I've ordered the solvent sealant, treated the surrounds on the woofers, degunked the vinyl veneer, and now it's time for me to tackle rebuilding the crossovers. These are...

    KLH model thirty-one

    I just got a pair of KLH model thirty-one and they sound great. One of the tweeters was having some issues but it started working. I've decided to re-cap this 40+ year old set, but when I opened it up the only capacitors I could locate were the 4uf paper caps connected to the tweeters. Does...

    McIntosh Integrated amps - speaker pairing questions

    Hello all, I inherited a bunch of gear and am trying to figure out what to pair with what and which speakers to repair. I know next to nothing about vintage stereo stuff, but I listen to lots of music. The three McIntosh amps I have are all in good working condition (as far as I can tell, but I...

    Pioneer cs-77 and cs-88 with KLH-6

    I broke into the vintage stereo scene as a beginner a couple years ago with Pioneer sx-737 receiver with a pair of KLH-6 speakers. A friend of mine wants to sell me his Pioneer speakers (77s and 88s) for 20 bucks. My question is would these be good replacements to my sixes or used in combination...

    Hello AK users, I am looking for input on KLH speakers. I currently own a pair of Model 23s. THEY ARE GREAT!! (to my ear) I haven't re-sealed the surrounds or replaced the crossovers in them and they still sound great. (I shelved my Dynaco A25s in favor of the KLH 23s). I have read that I...

    Any KLH fans near Waco, TX...

    Keep seeing these Model 7's come up and I think the price just dropped. Seems like a decent deal for one of the more obscure, early KLH models, especially if you could talk him down another $20 or so. https://www.ebay.com/itm/263094400191

    Replacing Vintage KLH Tweeters (Model Twenty Three)

He told me the tweeter was out but he wasn't sure why so I spent some time yesterday recapping the crossover. The woofer still works with a recapped crossover but the tweeter does not so I think I'll need to...

    KLH Model eleven 11 spinning too fast

    I have a beautiful KLH model 11. It just came out of servicing sounding perfect. However it has begun to speed up, and after switching it from playing a 45 to a 33, it is now fast. Not as fast as a 45, but I counted 111 rotations in 3 minutes so the voices do not match. Some history, I live in...

    Mystery speakers - KLH AV44

    I have a pair of KLH speakers that I bought new in early 1993. I'd like to get an idea of their value but can't find them in any online list of KLH models. The tag on the back shows "Model AV44" and "Made in USA". The dimensions are 29 x 5.25 x 11.75 (big and heavy). The specs are: design - 12"...
