KLH Floorstanding Speaker Model Seven English Walnut
The KLH Model Seven has strict asymmetrical front panel combined with the natural veneer finish of the other surfaces is the same style.
The Model Seven speaker with a cellulose diffuser on an inverted half-wave rubber external suspension is equipped with a 4-inch coil and operates in a closed case. Not as loud as with a bass reflex, but more accurate, more musical.
In addition to the large woofer, the Model Seven also has an inch tweeter with an aluminum dome membrane and a 5-inch midrange. They are installed closer to each other and away from the woofer. The 13-component crossover ideologically repeats the Model Five scheme. It used inductors with iron cores and mylar capacitors. The scheme allows you to adjust the sound of the speaker to the characteristics of the room or the tastes of the owner — a three-way switch is displayed on the back wall.
The Model Seven mounted on stands made of steel profile, creating a slight tilt back.
The two main benefits of acoustic suspension are, cabinets are sealed, so the room placement is more flexible. Start at about 6 to 12 inches from the wall—and trust your ears. So, the Model Seven is more room-friendly. But the main sonic benefit is that you get half the roll-off, one octave below the cabinet’s natural tuning frequency. It’s only a 12 dB roll-off, versus 24 dB.
The Model Seven has a 13-component network that utilizes premium, iron-core inductors and Mylar capacitors. Model ship with speaker stands. Model Seven has a 3-degree slant riser base made of powder-coated 14-gauge steel.

About brand
KLH
KLH is an audio company founded in 1957 as KLH Research and Development Corporation in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by Henry Kloss, Malcolm S. Low, and Josef Anton Hofmann. KLH was the largest loudspeaker company in the world, employing over 500 people and shipping over 30,000 speakers a year to retailers and distributors throughout six continents. KLH has deep roots firmly planted in high-fidelity sound reproduction as a ground-breaking company of firsts, launching the first-ever high-selectivity FM table radio, the Model Eight, and the first full-range electrostatic loudspeaker, the Model Nine, highly regarded by the audiophile community and picked by Neil Gader of The Absolute Sound as “one of the twelve best loudspeakers ever built”, the first portable solid state record player named the Model Eleven, and introduced Ray Dolby of Dolby Laboratories, to the consumer product market through the first reel-to-reel tape recorder featuring the Dolby noise reduction, the Model Forty. KLH also introduced some of the best-selling loudspeakers in the world over the course of many years, most notably, the Model Five, Model Six, and Model Seventeen, featuring the acoustic suspension loudspeaker design originally developed by Edgar Villchur and our founder Henry Kloss.In January of 2017, KLH was purchased by Kelley Global Brands, owned by CEO David Kelley, audio industry veteran and entrepreneur. KLH is now located in Noblesville, Indiana, and is launching a brand new line of high-fidelity loudspeakers. In the spring of 2021, the company will also launch a newly engineered version of the legendary Model Five loudspeaker – first introduced in 1968. Based on the famous acoustic suspension design principle that dominated the loudspeaker market at that time, the Model Five went on to become one of the best-selling loudspeakers of its era.
