The “Acoustic Suspension” BassUnlike modern speakers with open bass ports on the back or front, the Model Five is completely airtight. This design prevents loose, boomy bass. Instead, it provides tight, accurate, and incredibly low-distortion low frequencies that excel when playing acoustic instruments, jazz, and classic rock. Dual Midrange PowerBy utilizing two mid-frequency drivers instead of just one, KLH engineered a speaker with phenomenal presence in the vocal frequencies. This gives the Model Five an exceptionally wide, realistic soundstage that makes acoustic tracks feel like the performer is in the room with you. Contour SwitchesThe back panel features two rotary switches [1] that allow you to manually “decrease” or “increase” the output of the midranges and tweeters. This was designed to help owners tune the speakers’ brightness to complement the specific acoustics of their living room e. Dampening a room with heavy carpet or brightening a room with bare hardwood floors. For fans and collectors of vintage hifi.
