Hi AK, I am "re-refurbishing" a pair of KLH 6s and I've already gone through the trouble getting the supplies I need according to YouTube and various threads here at AK. I have also already recapped some used, working crossovers I bought from ebay as the speakers did not come with the OEM...

Hello AK, This has been discussed before by other members in similar situations, but I felt that due to the rarity of these speakers and the number of differences between varying serial numbers, a separate post might better help others in the future. BACKGROUND: *Feel free to skip if you’re...

Hey all, I got a pair of KLH Model Six speakers for free and I was curious about how I should go about fixing one of them. One speaker is fantastic while the other suffered some pretty bad water damage. I opened them and checked all the electronics, on the good condition speaker all the...

Received these from a friend. No clue what they are since there is no labels or markings anywhere on them. Couldn't find anything similar in a Google search. KLH? Tweeter is 4369 on the back. Has one capacitor on the tweeter nothing else inside the box. Square magnet on the woofer. Any ideas?

I need a second audio setup at my studio but but since my audi addiction is only a few months old I don't know much about speakers yet. Had my sights set on some JBL 4412A blueface modified by Kerick Sound but someone got to them first. Now I'm between these: DCM TF600 KLH 2 Infinity Reference...

Newbie here! Looking to get back to the audio of my youth. Last night I picked up a pair of KLH 23 speakers. After I got them home, into the light and hooked up to something better than the FM radio they were demo'd with, I discovered some damage to the bottom of one of the cabinets. Looks like...

I have been looking for a pair of Model 6's for a while.... and while I was down in the Tampa area soaking up the heat and hiding from winter I saw a local and fellow Audiokarmia member had a pair on facebook with a problem driver but great cases etc. Might have over paid at $125 but they...

Good day, and I hope everyone is well & content. N00b question: I'm going to be upgrading the crossovers in a set of mind KLH Model 5s, and I notice in the schematic that the inductor going to the mids is iron-core, rated at 68mH & .25Ω DCR. I don't know whether there would be an audible...

These arrived on my porch yesterday. I was a bit concerned about the condition of the boxes, but the speakers were very well packaged. So far I can only comment on build quality, because I had too much to do and didn’t get the chance to run them through their paces. These speakers are...

I found these KLH Model 23 speakers in Chapin, S. Carolina. No affiliation. $200, recapped and properly redoped, but cabinets need a little work. These would be perfect for those who want vintage speakers, but don't want to have to rebuild/restore them. Ad has been up a month, but recently...

In the process of restoring a pair of Model 6’s, and wondering how they compare with the NLA’s. I had a pair of OLA’s, but the mid/upper ends of my newly-recapped 6’s don’t sound like what I remember the OLA’s sounded like (but then, those didn’t get a recap). A single NLA speaker I used as a...

Found a pair of KLH Model 23 speakers on marketplace for $100, seller says they’ll take around $75 for them. Seller doesn’t know if they work as they’ve been sitting for years and can’t test them. The surrounds look okay but given the age and how long they’ve been sitting they’ll probably need...

I've got a pair of old Model 5s that I'll be restoring. Not impressed with the interior wiring and in addition to recapping (and maybe replacing the iron-core inductors with air-core), I think I'll replace the interior wiring with 16awg OFC or OCC, and prolly be silver-soldering the leads...

Trying to help a friend with a KLH model 25 turntable. Everything seems to be working properly except the rubber wheel (see pic) that makes contact with the drive: A: does not move freely, and B: has round burn spot(from the drive, I suspect) Can the wheel be found and replaced? I’m a musician...

I have a pair of KLH model 6 speakers I was putting new caps in and I took the hot lead terrminal lead apart and the insolater slipped from my fingers and now its MIA. I went to Lowes in hopes of finding a plastic washer but then found a rubber grommet that fits the hole perfect. Is this a...

So, Ive gotten my hands on a pair of 1968 klh model 12 speakers. I got them in working condition but unrestored. Used them for about a year until it became apparent that they had deteriorated a bit. Im awaiting the parts for a full restore of the boxes, my only remaining issue is that one of the...

We got another pair of KLH speakers the other day. Drove to Las Vegas to pick them up. A couple hours each way. They had been for sale for a couple weeks. My husband called the owner and offered him half of what he was asking, and since nobody had ever called once about them he agreed. They...

Hey all, I just picked up some vintage KLH Model 5 Speakers for about $30. On one only the woofer works, both midranges and the tweeter have nothing. On the other all drivers work except the tweeter. The cabinets are battered, but overall all elements are intact, albeit showing their age...

Been researching out of curiosity if any of the post 1980 - pre China Mfg models were acoustic suspension?

Hello AK Gurus! I scored a Luxman 1070 at an auction for $350, untested. They don’t show up that often, so I couldn’t pass it up. It arrived. All lights worked, pots, glass, all clean. Didn’t play last night and I went to bed doing some research. This morning I took the jumpers out of an...

I have a pair of speakers I got from my grandparents. As far as I know they purchased them new in the early '80s. On the back they claim to be KLH Model 6's: I did some reading around here and got pretty excited, as those have a great reputation. They don't sound awesome though - voices are...

Hello! I'm just starting to figure out a starting home audio setup and would love some advice. I'm unsure where this belongs. I'd like thoughts on the whole setup - speakers, receiver, and anything else I'm missing. I'm very new to hi-fi, or medium-fi for that matter - we've been listening to...

I have searched the interwebs high and low and can't find anything like these. There is no model number or wattage or other info on the back, just the front "Reference" nameplate. I almost wonder if they're custom speakers in a KLH cabinet? Klh Reference 1 by lusciousmane posted May 10, 2021 at...

I'm having trouble with a new system I'm building from scratch and would very much appreciate the expert advice of other members. I thought it would be fun to create a new system for my office with all vintage components. For reference, my main system at home is a mix of contemporary and older...

Hello Klh Yogis, I picked up a pair of KLH 12’s and I’m ready to recap them. I’ve recapped 5’s, 6’s, and 17’s so I’m pretty okay with the process. Does anyone know the Caps that I’ll need, and any other information to help make these sing? At the moment they sound like crap - and it’s...
