KLH Model Five

KLH Audio was established in 1957 by Henry Kloss, Malcolm
Lowe & Joseph Hofmann. Henry Kloss first made his name as
part of Acoustic Research with the introduction of the AR-1 and
its patented acoustic suspension system that revolutionized the
high-fidelity industry. Henry Kloss later left Acoustic Research to start KLH, and
immediately began marketing his own acoustic suspension loudspeaker designs.
The KLH Model Five was first introduced in 1968 and was the answer to AR’s
popular AR-3 loudspeaker. The Model Five served as the heart and soul of
KLH’s success in the industry throughout the late 60’s & 70’s, and was one of
the best-selling loudspeakers of its era.
KLH re-introduced the famous Model Five during the spring of 2021. This new
three-way loudspeaker features updated cosmetics, as well as all the major
advancements in transducer design that have occurred over the last 50 years.
But the original acoustic suspension philosophy, cabinet construction and size
all remain intact, thus maintaining the performance and appeal the loudspeaker
enjoyed when it was first introduced.
