The legendary KLH Model Five was first introduced in 1968 and served as the heart and soul of KLH’s success throughout the late 1960’s and 1970’s. 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.

Acoustic Suspension

First introduced in 1954, the acoustic suspension principle has long been regarded as the most accurate of all the loudspeaker designs available. Edgar Villchur and Henry Kloss worked together to bring the original AR-1, and several later models, including the well-known AR-3, to market. Several brands, including KLH, would adopt the acoustic suspension principle and use it in their loudspeakers designs for many years to come. This design principle dominated the speaker market well into the 1970s.

In an acoustic suspension design, the volume of air inside the enclosure serves as a cushion of air, or air spring, to provide a restoring force for the woofer cone. The air inside the enclosure essentially becomes the dominant part of the woofer’s suspension. Since the volume of air inside the enclosure is more linear than the mechanical parts of the woofer’s suspension, this enables the woofer’s diaphragm to move in a more linear fashion. This enables the driver to operate at higher excursions with less distortion than more traditional bass-reflex type systems. Acoustic suspension systems are regarded all over the world for their greater accuracy, tighter bass transients, and exceptional bass resolution and texture.

Dedicated Midrange Driver

The KLH Model Five is a 3-way design featuring a dedicated midrange driver housed in its own internal enclosure. It’s the midrange driver’s responsibility to handle the most significant, middle part, of the audio spectrum. This portion of the audio band contains the vocal and musical instrument fundamentals which are most familiar to the human ear; and where accuracy, or inaccuracies, are most easily detected. In a three-way design, having a dedicated midrange means the driver can be optimized for this specific use since it doesn’t have the additional burden of reproducing lower & higher frequencies in the audio band. This results in truly remarkable clarity of vocals & instruments with less distortion.

    I used to have my dad's ancient sealed box speakers from the 70s and I'm not keen on all the "futuristic" design styles of most modern speakers. So when I saw all the glowing reviews of the KLH Model Five as having modern technology in a similar wooden enclosure, I had to check them out.

    Scott at CHT Solutions was very happy to let me demo them at his showroom with my amp and DAC and I had a blast playing a big bunch of my CDs through them. I put a deposit on them that day. Scott was an absolute pleasure to deal with.

    I won't go over my sonic impressions. They sound fantastic. Scott has posted a bunch of YouTube reviews which go over all that much better than I could.

    I will, however, provide one caveat. The reviewers above touch on it, but I think it should be emphasized. These speakers love power. I have been using a 100W amp with them for the past few months. While they sound fine with that amp, I have also demoed some more powerful amps and that's when they really come alive. Think 200-300W minimum.

    So when you call Scott for a demo, make sure you also ask him to show you some of his bigger amps at the same time. You'll be so happy you did.
