An iconic speaker, reborn
Henry Kloss and KLH introduced their original Model Five back in 1968, and it became a popular and broadly recognizable speaker that helped propel the company's success. This new version takes advantage of modern driver technology, but houses it in a retro-styled, acoustic suspension (sealed) cabinet that's similar to that of the original. And here's a rare touch for 2021, also from the original 1968 version — a passive sound-shaping switch that lets you tailor the speaker's output to your room's acoustics.
