My Advents have been in four different homes during the last four plus decades. The acoustic suspension design seemed to be the easiest to place in a room so you don’t have to go through the gyrations of moving things around or fiddling with the room acoustics. I never really found anything that I preferred over the acoustic suspension or sealed enclosure type. I heard all sorts small, large and various types of design. Some speakers borrowed and many were repair or reconditioning jobs that I took on that had the side benefit of allowing me to audition them. There have been a long list of speakers that came through my home where I had an opportunity to compare with my Advents. A few years later when we bought our first house that did not have wheels underneath, I bought a pair of the New Large Advent speakers. The easy choice was the Large Advent Speakers, an Onkyo receiver and a Pioneer turntable with a Pickering V15 cartridge.

Some of the reputable local outlets put together systems that had pre-selected components in each price category. In 1974, a friend asked me to help pick out a HiFi stereo system. I subscribe to the principle that when shopping for a HiFi music sound system, an old-school notion, you first select the speakers and then work your way backward to the components that compliment the speaker selection. I did not have any particular expectations, so I was ready to see what happened next.

I figured that I had all I needed to know to take a leap of faith and order the KLH Model 5 speakers directly from KLH Audio. Many of the reviews touched on the same point, but when I read reviews from people who own the Model 5, I knew that all the talk was not just hyperbole. The thing that caught my attention was how KLH Audio was taking a tried and true vintage acoustic suspension design and bringing it up to date. For a while now I have been interested in new speakers, but the market is so crowded with choices and not having anywhere to hear them first made me just stay put with what I had. And, in the end your choice is completely subjective. What more can I add but maybe my personal experience which may help someone decide. No doubt by now you have read or watched innumerable reviews that all praise the KLH Model 5 speakers. 5° slant riser base made of powder coated 14-gauge steel (included with speaker purchase).Thirteen component network using high-quality iron-core inductors & Mylar capacitors.KLH cabinetry featuring a structurally reinforced ¾” MDF enclosure.Non-Resonant Die-Cast Aluminum Midrange & Woofer Frames.
