Guest Americain Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Dave, Your Model 17 is really a peach. I find it wonderful to preserve and enjoy these speakers. I also find that they're superior to almost everything else out there that passes for hi-fidelity these days. Didn't KLH have a partnership with Scott to combine their speakers with Scott components in an integrated system? I seem to remember my neighbor having a Scott system with KLH Model 17s as part of the ensemble. This was circa 1971 or so. Lovely little system it was.

Guest ddavejb Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Thanks for the nice responses guys. Those seventeens will be with me until they(or I) die. I've always been a fan of KLH stuff and vintage equipment in general. My first 'record player' was a KLH Model 11 suitcase job that my parents got me when I was a kid. Boy I wish I still had that! A friend just gave me a pair of Model Sixes today that he was going to throw away! How lucky am I? A little scuffed up but sounding great. I'll have to upload a couple of pix when I get them cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
