The Model Five Awards
“This speaker gave me a presentation that I had not heard through anything else… have you ever had a dessert at a really good restaurant and you just kind of have to sit down and not think about anything else for a second- just take in the wonderment? That’s what it was like.” Randy at cheapaudioman
“Mostly, the speaker played with a detailed, sparkling upper/mid/treble chutzpah that favored and seemed to amplify texture and viscosity. Notes had realistic weight and body. These Model Fives are attention-getters of the first order, delivering a big soundstage and big, juicy dynamics.”
Ken Micallef – Stereophile
“…I have nothing but praise for the clarity of the midrange, the robustness of the middle and upper bass, and the voicing across the entire frequency range.This is a case where old school and cutting edge have combined to create something that’s truly special—and at a very reasonable price.”
Doug Schneider – SoundStage!
“The Model Five is, for me, a near-perfect hybrid between the clarity and immediacy one gets from high-efficiency loudspeakers combined with the raw grip and control really only found in high-end powered monitors…. I thought about starting or ending this review with a video clip of hands clapping.”
Andrew Robinson, “Best Loudspeakers Under $2,000,” TheRobinsonBrand.com
“…KLH just set a master class on how to get it done right.“I think this is a solution that many people have been waiting for a speaker that has an old school aesthetic, a speaker that has the kind of sound that’s like a fusion between that big, fun, old school presentation with some of the more modern technical achievements that audiophiles expect from present-day speakers.”“It’s a speaker that gives you just enough of those audiophile benefits while at the same time offering up a consistent and fun listening experience, which allows you to go back to the ritual of just enjoying music for the sake of enjoying music.”“This is one of the few products where I got excited for both the consumer as well as myself because I actually struggled to review this product… I was so much more focused on just going through my music collection and freaking enjoying it.”
