    New KLH Model 5

    These arrived on my porch yesterday. I was a bit concerned about the condition of the boxes, but the speakers were very well packaged. So far I can only comment on build quality, because I had too much to do and didn’t get the chance to run them through their paces. These speakers are...

    KLH classic Model 5 inside wiring — req. for advice

    I've got a pair of old Model 5s that I'll be restoring. Not impressed with the interior wiring and in addition to recapping (and maybe replacing the iron-core inductors with air-core), I think I'll replace the interior wiring with 16awg OFC or OCC, and prolly be silver-soldering the leads...

    Can anyone help ID these KLH Reference three-way speakers

    I have searched the interwebs high and low and can't find anything like these. There is no model number or wattage or other info on the back, just the front "Reference" nameplate. I almost wonder if they're custom speakers in a KLH cabinet? Klh Reference 1 by lusciousmane posted May 10, 2021 at...

    KLH 12 Recap Help

    Hello Klh Yogis, I picked up a pair of KLH 12’s and I’m ready to recap them. I’ve recapped 5’s, 6’s, and 17’s so I’m pretty okay with the process. Does anyone know the Caps that I’ll need, and any other information to help make these sing? At the moment they sound like crap - and it’s...

    Epicure Model 5 help needed pls!

    Hi All, Scored a pair. In fairly good shape, all drivers work, but of course surrounds are gone. I tried to find replacements on an auction site - results seem to be conflicting. Some call for 6 inch foams and others for 6 1/2inch. Looking at the specs - they have 6inch woofers. However...

    Beveridge Model 5 - Restore

    Edit: I originally had the title of the thread as Model 3, but after determining they are Model 5, I asked the Admin to change it. Since starting this thread, it has turned into more of a Beveridge speaker history thread than just a Model 5 restore discussion (starting around page 7). All of the...
