KLH Model 5 question


How much power do these speakers require?
Any opinions on these speakers?
Thanks

Those vintage AR and KLH acoustic suspension speakers were built back in the day when 25 watt (PP 6L6G's) tube amps were common. These sealed-box speakers sacrificed sensitivity for lower bass extension. Which they do quite well! 
I have AR 2ax's, AR 4's and KLH 6's. Plus the outstanding KLH Nine electrostats. They are all capable of excellent well-balanced sound!

I have the new KLH model 5's and am using a Luxman L-509au with them. It is 110 watts per channel and it is more than enough. My room is only 10' 8" X 16' 6".

I have had these speakers for a while and thought they were pretty good. But once I positioned them correctly and did some room treatment they have really come alive. These are much better speakers than I originally thought. Setting them up correctly is critical for your room is critical.
