In-Room Loudspeakers
The KLH in-room loudspeaker line-up consists of 12 models. As a nod to the brand’s history, each is named after a street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the birthplace of KLH.

All the speakers boast luxurious real-wood veneer finishes; the finest MDF cabinetry, internal components and dampening, and powerful performance-rich Kevlar drivers and anodized aluminum dome tweeters. To maximize floorstanders’ bass performance, incorporated are low resonance driver chambers with hand-tunable baffle ports. The KLH warranty is unprecedented: 10-years on passive speakers with 5-years on powered subwoofers.
