“The KLH Model 5 is a very good speaker with nice construction and a pleasing furniture-grade finish. Because it does not have a wave guided tweeter, it does not require sitting exactly in the “sweet spot” to sound great. Gear matching makes a difference. I originally was driving them with a pair of Fosi V3 monoblocks. Then upgraded to LAIV Crescendo Chorus monoblocks which allowed the Model 5’s to completely open up in terms of soundstage width and depth. They are musical, cohesive and enjoyable. I would not call them technical at all. You don’t sit waiting to hear every little “clink” and “tink” from the percussion. Rather, they present the music as a whole. Four stars is not due to anything negative…they are very, very nice speakers. And customer service from Upscale Audio was terrific. Good communication and fast shipping.”

“This is a very interesting product. I love the walnut fit and finnish. My speakers came with the linen grills. These look fantastic. This speaker takes about 30 hours to break in and toe-in is a must. The speakers respond to every change in speaker placement and cable selection. Right now I am using a Dynaco ST-70, MIT CVT 1 speaker cables, Cardas Clear interconnects and a ARC SP11 Preamplifier. 30 Watts of of EL-34 power never sounded so good.”

“The performance of the KLH Model Five speakers is fantastic, they exceeded my expectations. The only issue I have is the grill cover fabric on one of the speaker covers has fabric that is not tight and the KLH logo is slightly crooked.”

“The KLH model five is a great speaker. It makes everything sound good and it does it an a way that feels effortless. I'd say it's slightly on the brighter side of neutral, but not in a way that's fatiguing. Plus with the treble attenuator you have the ability to tame the highs a bit if you need to. For me though, the thing that stands out the most about this speaker is the vocal clarity. Without a doubt, vocals are clearer with the model five than any other speaker I've heard. Upscale audio was great as well. They were very quick with their responses to any issues or questions I had, and kept me up to date with the status of my order. A great speaker from a great seller. You won't be disappointed!”

“Whoa!... These look and sound Great. They haven't even been broken in yet. I bought them just for my Pro-ject turntable powered by my Prima Luna tube amp, and EAT phono stage. The metal stands that come with them gives them the right tilt for the sound I'm looking for. Jazz, Rock, Easy Listening, KLH 5s can handle it..”
