# KLH Audio

> KLH Audio is an American premium loudspeaker brand founded in 1957 and now owned by Victrola. Its current play is unusually focused: update the sealed-box acoustic-suspension architecture associated with co-founder Henry Kloss, wrap it in furniture-grade veneers and mid-century proportions, then sell through specialty dealers and directly online. The Model Three, Four, Five and Seven span compact rooms to statement systems, while the wider business serves music listeners, vinyl buyers and home-theater customers who want serious passive speakers without an aggressively technical look.
