Model Five Floorstanding Speaker

Model Five acoustic suspension speakers are known as one of the finest and most sought-after speakers for audiophiles, both new and seasoned.  Our updated version of this classic speaker has real wood veneers, cast aluminum baskets, and uses acoustic suspension design principles made famous by founder Henry Kloss.

The KLH Model Five vintage speaker is offered in three gorgeous finishes (English Walnut, West African Mahogany, and Nordic Noir), allowing the loudspeaker to blend with all home decor. The English Walnut Model Five comes with a beautiful Stone Wash Linen grille cloth that magnifies the rich finish of the real wood veneers. Meanwhile, our West African Mahogany finish is complemented by an Old-World Linen grille cloth that will stop you in your tracks. And lastly, the Nordic Noir finish is shipped wearing the lovely Medici Grey Linen grille cloth. Want the option of pairing any grille cloth with the finish of your choosing? Don’t worry- you can purchase each style separately below!

Riser base and grilles included with speaker purchase.

REVIEW & AWARDS

KLH Model Five loudspeaker - Read More

"The M5s let me hear all the differences between amplifiers and recordings via its clean treble, open midrange, and controlled, authoritative bass. The M5 was a forensic instrument when needed and an audiophile speaker capable of reproducing rich, true-to-the-source sounds when desired. For not a lot of money. The KLH M5s are intoxication kings, urging me to hear my most beloved vinyl via its big personality and well-scaled dimensionality.

I thought, "If only I'd kept that pair of original M5s I found uptown!" But the revived KLH Model Five turned any regrets into a hearty smile of satisfaction." - Ken Micallef

 

KLH Model Five Standmount Loudspeaker Review - Read More

"So, is the KLH Model Five a good buy, or is it just bye-bye? Definitely the former. Many listeners will find it a match made in heaven because regardless of musical genre, it sounds fun. It delivers memorable experiences when all too often speakers can sound rather matter-of-fact. Its classic looks are also a serious plus, as far as I'm concerned. The styling channels an entirely different era in loudspeaker design, even if the engineering is a modern take on it. Overall then, highly recommended and catch it if you can.  " - Mike Perez

 

KLH Model Five Loudspeaker Review - Read More

"I enjoyed the many hours I spent listening with the KLH Model Fives. Is it the perfect loudspeaker? The tweeter in the new Model Five is likely to be far more revealing than the one found in the original, so if your taste leans toward warm and forgiving sound, this might not be the best choice. But if you want to hear all the detail present in well-produced music, along with fulfilling, dynamic performance across the full frequency range, you won't be disappointed." - Thomas J. Norton
