Model Five Floorstanding Speaker

Model 5s Blossom

When the Model 5s first arrived, they sounded good, but not great. I was aware that new speakers, as well as amps, tubes and turntables need to break-in, but had not experienced it. I have to say that the system (Heaven 11 Billie MK3 amp, Rega Planar 3 turntable) began quite noticeably improving after about 25 hours of play, but blossomed to sound absolutely amazing after around 50 hours. It continues to dig into detail and warm up with the vintage sound I was going for. At 74, I had longed for a system that sounded like the one I had back in the early 1970's, searched long and hard and here it is. Even better now that I can stream or do vinyl. Love the Model 5s, they fit in with our mid-century style living room perfectly, and they are quite easy to place for full soundstage detail and clarity. Completely satisfied.

Wow, believe the hype, these are great speakers

Wow. These are terrific speakers. Walnut with linen grills are stunning looking. sound is rich and warm. Expansive soundstage Built to last. I have KEF LS50s and Wharfedale Evo floorstanders. These are better. I have them running with a modest setup: Integra DTM 7.4 amp, nakamichi elite 12awg cables, Sonos port, svs 3000 micro subwoofer. All lifestyle grade stuff you can buy on Amazon or such. But with the KLH 5s it's simply great. Believe the reviews, the hype. These are great speakers. Worth your hard earned money. Highly recommended.

Great speaker

Big sound for a small footprint.
