[KLH Model Four]

I own a pair of vintage KLH 4 speakers which I purchased new in 1964. I am happy to say they are

in pristine condition both acoustically and cosmetically.  I am not sure why the speakers have survived

so well, but I live in San Francisco which does not have high humidity or extremes of temperature. The bass of

the KLH 4 has always been a bit soft compared to an AR3, but some years ago I added a small REL subwoofer

which fixes that problem. Turning up the bass only muddies up the sound. They are in my office and I listen to

them almost every day. I have never over driven them. I use a Mac 275 and a C22 which I think are a perfect match.

I think there are very few KLH 4s around anymore.  The quality of the sound remains excellent. As good as any

book shelf acoustic suspension speaker that I know of. One of Henry Kloss's finest efforts. I have another system in

my home which I use which are a pair of Quad 2905s with REL subs and Spectral electronics.  While there is no beating a

big Quad for sound quality, I find the 4s comparable.

If the reader is interested in a 4, I would suggest a nationwide search. Probably a few are out there for purchase.

The 4s have a 12 woofer and 2 tweeters. The 4 is a two way speaker
