JKent Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 An ebay seller in northern NJ, not far from me, has not one but TWO pair of these remarkable KLH-branded Arthur JansZen electrostats, "Tested and working. Very good condition" for $1,300/pr OBO.

George P Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 shame that stereophile didn't post any pictures, or did I miss them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted July 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Just search google for "KLH Model Nine" and you'll find lots of pics. The current KLH company has resurrected them and is selling new ones for $25,000! ? JansZen will refurbish old ones for anywhere from $2,500 to $9,900 a pair https://www.janszenaudio.com/klh-nine-refurbishment-upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Nicolai Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 I would give anything to hear a pair of refurbished KLH 9's. There was a thread on another audiophile blog about 6 months ago about someone from northern NJ purchasing a set of the 9's. I never read anything further about them. I wonder if they sold them or gave up trying to restore them, and if this is one of the set of 9's. Purchasing a set of the 9's is certainly a major commitment in resources and labor, and as much as I would love a pair in my LR, even if I had the space, which I do not, it's more than I'm willing to bite off.

Not sure where you are located, but there was a pair of these being demo'd today at Glen's get-together. http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/IP.Board/index.php?/topic/10476-peekskill-ny-blue-mountain-lodge-audio-fest-saturday-may-18th-september-14th-2019851987/&tab=comments#comment-126463 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
