MODEL FIVE (PZA)

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

The KLH Model Five vintage speaker is offered in three beautiful finishes (English Walnut, West African Mahogany, and Nordic Noir), allowing the speaker to blend with any home decor. The English Walnut Model Five comes with a beautiful Stone Wash Linen grille fabric that magnifies the rich finish of the real wood veneers. Meanwhile, our West African Mahogany finish is complemented by an Old World Linen fabric grille that will stop you in your tracks. And finally, the Nordic Noir finish ships with the lovely Medici Grey Linen grille fabric.

What makes the KLH Model Five monitor speaker different from other speakers?

It all comes down to the Model Five's acoustic suspension design. Acoustic suspension speakers are much better at handling low-frequency program material than any other speaker design.

This is particularly true when listening to contemporary music. Today's recording technology has become so advanced that artists are constantly finding new ways to utilize the frequency band below 40 Hz. This wasn't the case 20 years ago. As technology has evolved, it's becoming evident that traditional bass-reflex speakers struggle with detail and accuracy in this regard.
