3-way, 10 Acoustic Suspension Loudspeaker
The legendary KLH Model Five was first introduced in 1968 and served as the heart and soul of KLHs success throughout the late 1960s and 1970s. At its core was the acoustic suspension design that dominated the loudspeaker industry for decades and made the Model Five one of the best-selling loudspeakers of its era. In 2021, KLH re-introduced the Model Five; building on the original acoustic suspension design and using the most advanced loudspeaker technology available today.
