KLH – Preservation Sound https://www.preservationsound.com information and ideas about audio history Fri, 20 Jul 2012 13:23:08 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Yard-Sale Speaker Spotter’s Guide: 2: KLH https://www.preservationsound.com/yard-sale-speaker-spotters-guide-2-klh/ https://www.preservationsound.com/yard-sale-speaker-spotters-guide-2-klh/#comments Sun, 22 Jul 2012 13:15:24 +0000 http://www.preservationsound.com/?p=5140 Today: part two of our series on the higher-end of widely available vintage hifi speakers: KLH.  Despite their very generic, un-hip look, these KLH units really surprise me with their sound.  IMHO they sound a lot better and a lot more modern than the JBLs of the same period.  Plus they have woven clothe surrounds so they are a lot less likely to need any servicing.  I have personally encountered some units that had bad crossover caps, so if you get a pair and there’s no tweeter action…  it might be the cap.  I recommend this brand of cap for replacement.  Good price/performance value.  Some of these KLH models were also available (with a different numerical designation) as part of a 3-peice-set including an amp/tuner/phono combo unit.

Above: KLH Model Five, Six, Twenty-Three, Twenty-Eight, Twenty-One, Seventeen, Thirty-Two, and Thirty-One.
