KLH Model Five Floorstanding Speakers West African Mahogany (1 Pair)

Model Five first appeared in 1968 and went on to become one of the best-selling loudspeakers of its era. KLH brought it back in 2021. Today's Model Five keeps what was worth keeping: a sealed acoustic suspension cabinet, a dedicated midrange, real wood veneers and that wide, unmistakable face. However, much of the engineering under the hood is new. A 10-inch woofer handles the bass, a dedicated 4-inch midrange takes care of voices and instruments and a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter rounds out the top end.

The result is full-range sound with tight, controlled bass that has real weight behind it, in a cabinet built to look great in a living room for decades.

Because Model Five is a sealed acoustic suspension speaker, it is less fussy about sitting near a wall than ported speakers. At 13.75 inches wide and 11.5 inches deep, it has undeniable presence, but should not have you rearranging furniture.

Every room sounds a little different. That is why KLH includes a three-position Acoustic Balance Control on the back of every speaker, which gently tames the mids and highs. This allows you to adjust Model Five for bright rooms full of glass, tile and hardwood or dull rooms replete with soft, carpeted areas.
