[$2,000 KLH Model Fives]

I ordered a pair today.  Was able to add to cart and checkout.  The order still shows pending with AMEX.  Did not order the optional stonewash linen grills.  From what I can tell, the standard grills look pretty darn nice.  If not, then I can order the stonewash grills.  I can't remember the last time I was this excited ordering stereo gear!

I hear what you’re saying and agree this could go way off topic BUT maybe the OP thinks he needs custom cables because of the 3 terminals. Or maybe the speakers sound bad because the jumper is missing.

fromwm: There should be a short wire joining T and 2. If it is missing use any short wire—even a paper clip as long as it doesn’t touch 1. Then connect whatever 2 conductor wire you choose to 1 and T, as shown in your photo.

It's there!  I took another pic after moving the gray jacket material out of the way.  Offer still stand?

AR55, Thank you for obviously spending the time responding to my post!  Unfortunately I'm not physically able to make my own, but you have helped me tremendously finding the correct size spades for my loudspeakers!!!!  No far, Blue Jeans Cable appears to be a good candidate for me.   The Belden 5000UE (Gray jacket, 12 AWG) for an 8' length  is only $36 ea.  Yes, reasonably priced.  Thanks again!

Does anyone know where I can find assembled speakers cables that attach to the AR speaker terminals?

As you can tell, I'm a big Supreme lover from the Motor City!!  Anyway, I've owned my AR-6's since the early 70's.  Used these as my rear channel speakers.  Remember Quadraphonic?

I restored these about 10 years ago.  Everything original except the surrounds and grills.

These still sound fantastic!  As I listen to these, it's hard to believe all the wonderful sounds these still produce.

I still wish I could find the grill cloth with the golden threads.

BTW, I'm a Linux guy as well.
