- KLH Model Five – 3-Way 10” Acoustic Suspension Floorstanding Speaker (Nordic Noir, Each)

So, I'm not what you would consider an Audiophile, but I am an Engineer. I do owe my son the credit for selecting these speakers. He did tons of research and we landed on these. They are amazing and I really can't find the words to explain just how amazing. Had my BFF since we were six years old over, and he cried a little listening( and reminicing) to the good stuff. Boston, Mercy Me, Dire Straits, and Talking Heads (Take Me to the River). Spectacular!

I bought a pair of the series 5 speakers from KLH. They were missing the speaker grills and the company is not responding to my complaints. Beware of buying these speakers. It’s like they have no warranty.

The seller was on point and over delivered. The speaker are great. They sound crisp/clear, and have sufficient bass. However, for those that want that extra umpfh, you will need a sub. The finish is good. The drivers seems to be of good quality. Although they are made in China, I wouldn't let that hold you back. The designer of the Heritage Klipsch was the same designer for these speakers. Don't hesitate, just get them.

Quality built speakers!

I watched hours and hours of reviews before choosing these I am so happy. I have them paired with a stunning Class A amp. BUY THESE SPEAKERS! Just amazing.

If you are buying these speakers by recommendation of any youtuber (Zero Fidelity, Jay, Andrew Robinson, etc) I would advise you to find a way to try these first somewhere or dig a little deeper on google to find some of the issues you'll encounter, before buying. The positive: They are very detailed on Top (Voices), have a very good sound stage and are very well built, nice looking as well. The negatives: These speakers a very good, but sadly they are not USD 2.5K good. They are very picky with placement in your room and unfortunately they are too revealing, the latter means, songs that are not very well recorded will sound terrible on these. So you could find yourself trying to listen to one of your favorite songs and realize it sounds bad on these because they were not perfectly recorded. Also not all genres will sound well on these speakers, for example songs that rely on bass or have a lot of percussion will not sound good (sometimes unbearable). Bottomline, paying 2.5K for speakers that cannot play all music or genres you want, are not worth it and you should look somewhere else (in my opinion). My set up was, Blusound Node (Streamer/Transport), Denafrips Pontus II (DAC), Denafrips Thalo (Power Supply). Blujean XLR & Speaker Cables and also Audioquest USB Cable. My advise, get the Wharfedale Lintons, these are excellent speakers, very well rounded and will play anything you throw at them quite well. Also they are cheaper 1.8K USD and better built. These are currently my daily drivers and double quite well for Home Theater use (watching movies, series, etc).

Goodness. The hype train sold a lot of these speakers for KLH. Listen to them before you buy them. My guess is that a lot of people are going to have some very expensive speakers in their garage, once they realize that these are just an OK pair of speakers.

The quality control is very weak, I had to return these to a distributor to be repaired after 1 week. They smeared glue over the connections on the inside of the binding post. It had to be removed, cleaned and reconnected.
