The KLH Model Three is a compact bookshelf speaker that delivers a performance rivaling the largest floorstanding models. Its two-way design continues the legacy of KLH's acoustic suspension, offering audiophile-quality sound in a smaller package—perfect for music enthusiasts with limited space. Unlike most speakers at this price point, the Model Three can be placed closer to the wall or on a bookshelf, providing flexibility in your setup.

Crafted with real wood veneers, cast aluminum baskets, and sustainable MDF cabinetry, the Model Three exudes quality in both design and construction. The English Walnut finish is paired with a Stone Wash Linen grille that highlights the wood’s rich tones, while the West African Mahogany finish is complemented by the striking Old World Linen grille. The Nordic Noir finish comes with a Medici Grey Linen grille, completing the sophisticated look.

For added customization, the Old-World Linen, Stone Wash Linen, and Basalt Black Knit grilles are available separately, allowing you to personalize your Model Three to match your style.

Riser base and grilles included with speaker purchase. SOLD AS EACH.

“The Model Three always sounds taut, rhythmic, and controlled, helping to connect with the music on an emotional level. I wanted to listen longer and rediscover all my old favorite pieces of music.”

– Mark Gusew, StereoNET

“Now with respect to sound quality, I’m not going to beat around the bush. Like the Model Fives, the Three’s are amazing.

They’re very much like a scaled-down version of the Five in that the midrange and treble clarity is simply off the charts and largely without equal at this price point. Enjoyable across the widest range of music genres.

There is no denying that the Model Three is another win for KLH and one that is easy for me to recommend- especially when your room and listening tastes align with its strengths.”

Everything "Old" is "New" again! Reminds

Everything "Old" is "New" again! Reminds me of the great acoustic suspension bookshelf speakers back in the day-EPI 100, KLH 17, Small Advent. This modern take on a classic acoustic suspension design sounds "just right" to my years. In my room they seem a bit bright in the "Hi" - neutral setting. The "Mid" setting sounds great.

These are just great speakers! I’ve

These are just great speakers! I’ve now had these for around a year. I’ve played SACDs, Stream and vinyl. They do not disappoint! I’ve spent as much as 6k on speakers and they didn’t hold a candle to these. I hate that the audio industry belittles those without deep pockets but regardless for the price, I don’t know that these can be beat? If you’re a fan of bass you might wantRead more about review stating to add a sub for those lows? Im living in an apartment because of work so I don’t need to rock the house. I have turned them up a couple of times and they just produce the feed! I can’t say enough about these speakers. They are amazing. If you think spending more will result in better, you’re wrong. Aside from the fives, which I’ll be picking up a pair shortly, these will satisfy most audiophiles under 65. Those guys seam to have the ears of 13 year olds? My biggest complaint with all audiophile products is that yes, Jazz sounds great, it sounds great on every speaker I’ve ever owned. But can they do rock and Metal justice? The answer is an absolute Yes! From Opeth to Slayer and Ozzy, they do not color they do not separate like crazy high end speakers that cost over 10k! They play the source unbiased with great stage and like you remember the music. May not have enough umph for big rooms but in my small listening room they are great! Like I said these are just great speakers and the quality of build is spectacular! You will not be disappointed.

I just began using these speakers

I just began using these speakers they sound great out of the box but I'm sure they need some break in time. The finish is excellent and the stands are perfect. The look and sound is very retro perfect for me.

WOW!!! Thus far these have far

WOW!!! Thus far these have far exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to listening and enjoying them for years to come. Thank You!!!
Pros: Sound amazing right out of the box. Can't wait to hear and enjoy them when they are broken in. Finish and craftsmanship is excellent. Supplying the stand is a wonderful addition and I hope other speaker manufacturers will take notice and follow suit. Thank You
Cons: At this point in time, none.
