ART KLH 6
Little is documented about the ART KLH 6. The available research contains no direct mention of this model under the ART brand. A "KLH-6" full-range loudspeaker does appear in several period sources. They describe a bookshelf design with excellent bass, smooth mids, and smooth highs. One reference gives a suggested amplifier power of 15 watts, though the speaker reportedly performed well on as little as seven to eight watts. High Fidelity (January 1967, p.55), in a roundup of the growing three-piece stereo system market, noted that speakers were shifting toward compact models that could work with modest amplifier power. That fits the kind of speaker the KLH-6 appears to have been.
It is not clear from surviving documentation whether the ART KLH 6 is the familiar KLH Model Six rebadged by a distributor, a modified variant, or an entirely unrelated product. The ART brand shows up on other vintage audio models (210A, Eico HF-81, EPA-100), but no family link to the KLH 6 has been established. If you own an ART KLH 6 or have original paperwork, the Archive would welcome details.
