Large Size Floorstanding Speakers
Ranked #97 of 167 in Large Size Floorstanding Speakers - KLH Model Five: $2,998.00 per pair Amazon Crutchfield eBay
Pros: Exceptionally wide and even horizontal radiation of roughly +/-70-80 degrees gives a spacious soundstage without sacrificing image focus when toed out about 10 degrees. Three rear-panel mid/high attenuation settings are genuinely useful for room and placement matching; Erin preferred Low in his room, with the grille fitted and slight toe-out. The sealed 10-inch acoustic-suspension woofer reaches an Erin-measured F3 near 52Hz and integrates gradually with a subwoofer. At 96dB/1m, harmonic distortion stays mostly below 1%, and multitone distortion is also well controlled. Compression is good at ordinary and high listening levels until the most extreme sweep, supporting convincing dynamics. The included slanted stands aim the unusually low tweeter toward seated ear height. Near-wall placement naturally fills the mild 200Hz baffle-step depression, as the manual intends. Measured bass extension of 52Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 85dB.
Cons: On-axis response is visibly irregular because the wide vintage baffle creates diffraction, and the upper/lower midbass mismatch around 200Hz can sound lean away from the intended wall placement. Erin heard a mild 800-900Hz resonance that coincides with a clear impedance blip, plus occasional hardness around the 2-4kHz crossover region at elevated level. Vertical directivity is narrow; the included five-degree slant bases are important because the tweeter otherwise aims below seated ears. The top end rolls off relative to the midrange, producing a warm balance that may not suit listeners seeking maximum air. At the highest test level the tweeter develops substantial compression. Large size, 52lb weight with stand and roughly $2998/pair price are significant commitments, and subwoofers remain necessary for the lowest octave.

Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #137 of 158 in Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers - KLH 911B Discontinued eBay
Pros: A budget two-way bookshelf from the KLH brand. KLH’s measurements show a preference score of 1.32 that reaches 5.12 with an ideal subwoofer, with 0.68 listening window deviation.
Cons: Bass is very limited and the on-axis response is uneven (1.14 average deviation). The data comes from KLH and its quality is unknown. KLH no longer sells it. Bass reaches 128.8Hz (-3dB) and about 92Hz (-10dB). That data is of unknown quality. Discontinued.
