This vintage pair of KLH Model Six speakers exemplifies the groundbreaking acoustic suspension technology introduced by KLH in the 1950s. Designed by Henry Kloss, a legendary innovator in the audio industry, the Model Six set the standard for compact, high-performance speakers. With their walnut cabinets and woven grill cloth, they are not only functional but also visually iconic for mid-century modern enthusiasts.

  • Model: Six
  • Serial Numbers: 062953 and 063304
  • Material: Walnut cabinets with classic woven grill cloth
  • Condition: Good vintage condition with scratches and scuffs consistent with age. Speakers are untested and sold as-is, offering an excellent opportunity for restoration.

Historical Context:
The KLH Model Six was a pioneering speaker that combined innovative acoustic suspension design with a compact form factor, producing accurate bass response without the need for large enclosures.
