Three for Three: KLH Model Three Review Test Bench

Test Bench

The in-room results shown here were produced using the Parts Express Omnimic measuring software and microphone, taken at the main listening seat 10 feet from the speakers, with the latter on their included stands and angled in to directly face the microphone.

All the results here were taken at the single, seated, ear-level position. (Experience in my room has shown that an average of several readings, taken across a span of about 2 feet, differs little from the single position measurement, apart from smoothing out small ripples.) All curves here are 1/6th octave smoothed, the Model 3s rear switches were set to Mid, and the AVR's tone controls were off.—TJN
