JKent Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Welcome to CSP Those are not classic New England KLH speakers and my advice would be to watch for some earlier models from Cambridge MA. Every seller says his speakers sound fantastic or amazing. Buyer beware. -Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Interesting, tricky nomenclature as they are neither Fives nor Twelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
