Model Three Bookshelf Speaker

The newest addition to the Model Collection: the stunning KLH Model Three loudspeaker! This beauty is a compact bookshelf speaker that rivals the largest floor standing speakers. The Model Three’s two-way design continues the KLH acoustic suspension legacy of accurate, audiophile-quality performance. This charming bookshelf speaker serves as the perfect solution for music enthusiasts with smaller listening spaces. Unlike other loudspeakers at this price point, listeners have the flexibility to place their Model Three’s closer to the wall than the average tower speaker. Or with even more convenience, you can fit your Model Three on a bookshelf!

The KLH Model Three is made using real wood veneers, cast aluminum baskets, and gorgeous, sustainable MDF cabinetry. Like the Model Five floorstanding speaker, the English Walnut Model Three bookshelf speaker comes with a beautiful Stone Wash Linen grille cloth that magnifies the rich finish of the real wood veneers. Meanwhile, the West African Mahogany finish is complemented by the gorgeous Old World Linen grille cloth that never fails to make a striking statement. And you can’t forget about the stunning Nordic Noir finish that is shipped with the Medici Grey Linen grille cloth! Right now you can purchase the Old-World Linen, Stone Wash Linen, and the stunning Basalt Black Knit grille separately to customize your Model Three bookshelf speaker as your own!

REVIEW & AWARDS

KLH Model Three loudspeaker - Read More

"My first impression was that the essence of the M3 was timelessness, but that isn't quite right. After two months of living with them, I found their true spirit, and it's not something you'd expect from an iconic design. The KLH Model Three possesses the spirit of youth—vitality, confidence, hope for the future. It has a young heart, like me. " - Robert Schryer 

 

KLH Model Three Bookshelf Speaker Review - Read More

"The new KLH Model Three is a highly capable little loudspeaker, one that’s far more characterful and less analytical than most modern designs. Rewarding and engaging, it produces a huge stereo image, and with a bass full of texture and resolution. At no stage was the sound boring or a taste of plain vanilla. So do check it out if you can – not just for its vintage styling or obvious cool factor, but for its likeable sonics. It really does connect you to the music in a special way.  " - Mark Gusew

 

Three for Three: KLH Model Three Review - Read More

"The audio world is full of fine speakers at under $1500/pair. Which is best? There's no reasonable answer to that often-asked question; it depends on your tastes and needs. The KLH Model 3 can compete head to head with any of them and offers a unique blend of superb sound, an included stand that will allow it to perform at its best, adjustability, and a unique, vintage look with up-to-date audio performance.

How does it compare with the KLH Model 5? While I reviewed that product, it's been a year or so since I've heard it and audio memory is far shorter than that. With its larger woofer and box, The Five offers more bass extension, but I still needed a sub or two on challenging film soundtracks, at least in my large room. But if you add a subwoofer, the Model 3 offers similarly high performance, and the money saved vs. the Model 5s can go to your subwoofer fund!" - Thomas J. Norton
