KLH Model Five Speaker Grilles (Pair, Stonewash Linen)

A Classic Loudspeaker Deserves a Classic Grille Cloth: KLH Model Fives Can Be Dressed in Old World Linen or Stonewash Linen

The KLH Model Five loudspeakers have achieved iconic status around the globe, and KLH offers two grille cloth designs to help ensure that your speakers look as great as they sound. The Old World Linen design is the classic grille cloth that comes standard on the Model Fives, and the Stonewash Linen style has a brighter color that fits with any decor. For both designs, low-profile magnets ensure that the grille cloth stays in place. Each grille is adorned with the iconic KLH cast-zinc logo in the lower left-hand corner.

The elegant, acoustically transparent canvas of the grille perfectly complements the refined, rich finish of this classic American loudspeaker, giving it a retro vibe that turns heads. This custom order accessory ships as a set of two. Like all Music Direct products, it comes with the 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee.

A Rich History

KLH Audio was established in 1957 by Henry Kloss, Malcolm Lowe, and Joseph Hofmann. Kloss first made his name as part of Acoustic Research with the introduction of the AR-1 and its patented acoustic suspension system, which revolutionized the high-fidelity industry. Kloss later left Acoustic Research to start KLH, and immediately began marketing his own acoustic suspension loudspeaker designs.

The KLH Model Five was first introduced in 1968 and was a response to AR's popular AR-3 loudspeaker. The Model Five served as the heart and soul of KLH's success throughout the 1970s, and it was one of the best-selling loudspeakers of its era.

KLH re-introduced the Model Five in 2021. The three-way loudspeaker features updated cosmetics, as well as all the major advancements in transducer design that occurred during the preceding 50 years. But the original acoustic suspension philosophy, cabinet construction, and size all remain intact, thus maintaining the appeal the loudspeaker enjoyed when it was first introduced.
