KLH Model Twenty Three - Restored

Airjmax · 2019-03-01T18:40:57+00:00

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 had the ultra-thin copper wires broken, and in such a way that repair was impossible. I tried to source some original tweeters for them, but I was having no luck. Thanks to AK member @Ruppert, I have fully-functioning speakers! While waiting for tweeters, I sealed the surrounds, recapped, and refinished the cabinets. They look and sound very nice, especially with the Sansui Seven. I still can't get over how much bass these things produce, along with non-fatiguing highs. Thanks again @Ruppert

Daughter #1 received the refurbed 17's, along with a Kenwood KR-4400 and Dual 1228 for her college graduation gift a few years ago. Her friends are still blown away with the vintage setup. Helping to cultivate another generation of vinyl lovers...
