Overview

Big sound. Classic looks. A smaller footprint.

The KLH Model Three brings the legendary acoustic suspension design of KLH into a compact loudspeaker that delivers performance well beyond what its size might suggest. Inspired by the company's classic mid-century designs, the Model Three combines vintage aesthetics with modern acoustic engineering for an engaging, room-filling listening experience.

At its heart is an 8-inch pulp-paper cone woofer housed in a sealed acoustic suspension cabinet. Unlike conventional ported speakers, this design uses the air inside the enclosure to help control woofer movement, producing tight, articulate bass with impressive extension for a speaker of its size.

A 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter delivers detailed, refined high frequencies, while a carefully engineered crossover integrates both drivers for a cohesive and natural presentation. Whether you're enjoying vinyl, streaming high-resolution music, or rediscovering your favorite recordings, the Model Three delivers the warmth, clarity, and dynamic performance that have made KLH a respected name in American hi-fi.

The three-position acoustic balance control allows you to adjust the midrange and treble response to complement your listening room. Its sealed cabinet also provides greater placement flexibility, making it an excellent choice for smaller spaces or rooms where traditional floorstanding speakers may not be practical.

Finished in genuine wood veneer with a removable magnetic linen grille, the Model Three captures the timeless appeal of classic hi-fi. Each speaker includes a powder-coated steel riser base that tilts the cabinet upward by eight degrees for optimal listening alignment.

Classic American loudspeaker design, thoughtfully reimagined for today's music lovers.
