KLH – Model Five Riser Base (Black, Pair)

Slant Riser Speaker Stands Allow KLH Model Five Loudspeakers To Deliver Peak Performance

A loudspeaker must be positioned properly to deliver optimal performance – and that’s exactly what these speaker stands do. Angled at 5 degrees, these sturdy, steel stands ensure that the KLH Model Five Loudspeakers are angled properly for great stereo imaging and a wide soundstage. Made of powder-coated, 14-gauge steel, these slant riser base stands manage vibrations, provide security and stability, and allow your system to sound its best.

The KLH Model Fives look fantastic on these stands. In addition to helping with the delivery of sonic details, there is also a visual bonus: You can easily see the iconic KLH cast-zinc logo in the lower left-hand corner of each grille cloth.

These speaker stands are sold as a set of two. Like all Music Direct products, the KLH Model Five Riser Base Stands come with the 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee. (Music Direct also offers two types of grille cloth designs for the Model Five speakers: Old World Linen and Stonewash Linen.)

A Rich History

KLH Audio was established in 1957 by Henry Kloss, Malcolm Lowe, and Joseph Hofmann. Kloss first made his name as part of Acoustic Research with the introduction of the AR-1 and its patented acoustic suspension system, which revolutionized the high-fidelity industry. Kloss later left Acoustic Research to start KLH, and immediately began marketing his own acoustic suspension loudspeaker designs.

The KLH Model Five was first introduced in 1968 and was a response to AR’s popular AR-3 loudspeaker. The Model Five served as the heart and soul of KLH’s success throughout the 1970s, and it was one of the best-selling loudspeakers of its era.

KLH re-introduced the Model Five in 2021. The three-way loudspeaker features updated cosmetics, as well as all the major advancements in transducer design that occurred during the preceding 50 years. But the original acoustic suspension philosophy, cabinet construction, and size all remain intact, thus maintaining the appeal the loudspeaker enjoyed when it was first introduced.
