The Model Five loudspeaker is designed around two guiding principles that perfect its sound quality. The first principle is the acoustic suspension design. Unlike bass-reflex systems, the acoustic suspension design is not optimized to favor one frequency band at the expense of another. The volume of the air in the enclosure ensures that the 10-inch woofer will always be in control. The low-frequency performance will remain clean even at the highest cone excursions. Secondly, the dedicated midrange driver is specifically designed to reproduce the important, middle part of the audio spectrum. This is where the ear is the most sensitive and where distortion is most easily heard. That guarantees the output is clean and detailed at all levels.

It all comes down to the Model Five’s acoustic suspension design. Acoustic suspension speakers are much better suited to deal with low–frequency program. This is particularly true when listening to contemporary music. Today’s recording technology has become so advanced that artists are constantly finding new ways to use the frequency band below 40Hz. This was not the case 20 years ago. As technology has evolved, it is becoming apparent that traditional bass-reflex speakers have problems with detail and accuracy in this regard.

The Model Five has elegant simplicity. There are five major acoustic components in this floor standing speaker. They each were developed with the intent of reaching the highest performance quality possible– without breaking the bank. We knew the level of performance we wanted to achieve from the start. In the engineering realm, it was easy to map out the product design and quality that was necessary to reach those objectives. We did not spend money where it was not needed. Instead, we focused on the individual components and specifications required to build this groundbreaking loudspeaker.

Dating back to the 1950s, there has always been a desire for low-bass extension from a small enclosure. Back then, one of the best ways to achieve this output of sound was through the acoustic suspension design. This design principle turned KLH into a dominant solution in the loudspeaker industry for decades. The Model Five was then introduced in the mid-60s when high-fidelity was first becoming popular. The original Model Five was the perfect mix of size and performance and lead to un-heard of success in the speaker industry which is rarely experienced today.

The challenge with any small enclosure is optimizing the positioning of the vintage loudspeaker, regardless of whether the listener is sitting or standing. The slant riser base raises the tower speaker to the perfect height. The 5-degree slant-angle positions it at the proper angle to ensure the best vertical coverage for all listening positions.

The KLH Kendall is an outstanding floor standing speaker that provides the most enjoyable listening experience. These tower speakers permit a much more enhanced bass response than similar speakers in premium home audio. The KLH Kendall’s are the best bass-reflex tower loudspeakers on the market.

These premium speakers effortlessly capture a large room with a natural yet detailed sound. Speaker towers such as the KLH Kendall’s create the most luxurious listening experience while contributing poise and elegance to your home. The Kendall Loudspeakers create an immersive listening experience without the need for a subwoofer.

Kendall speakers will complement a larger room, creating a premium home audio experience for a very reasonable price range. These tower speakers would be a spectacular addition to any home, with their attractive finish and striking appearance. The natural detail of these premium speakers brings a welcoming environment and refined appearance to any room.

The KLH Model Five’s acoustic suspension design is better suited for low-frequency material, while the Kendall speaker towers consist of a bass-reflex design to support high power handling. The Kendall floor-standing speakers have impeccable bass, accurate highs, and rich detail.

The Kendall tower speakers have excellent highs and lows with no distortion, even at high volume. In addition to the perfect bass amount, the Kendall speakers do not fatigue- they bring sound to life. The bass-reflex design fills a room with a bold sound, while maintaining pleasant, tuneful detail. These elaborate features make the Kendall speaker towers the best floor-standing speakers on the market.
