KLH Model 23
Not much is documented about the KLH Model 23. The Archive's fact sheet for this model has no confirmed specifications, dates, or prices, and the period KLH material in our collection never mentions the Model 23 by name. KLH ran its own ad in High Fidelity (August 1974, p.51) for the classic bookshelf line. It pushed the Thirty-Two ($62.50), the Seventeen ($89.95), and the Six ($149). A similar ad in HiFI-Stereo (August 1973, p.11) promoted the Thirty-Two and the Seventeen. The Model 23 is in neither.
The surrounding record does confirm the brand context. By the mid-1960s KLH was well established as a maker of acoustic-suspension bookshelf speakers, and High Fidelity (August 1965, p.61) reviewed the closely related Model 17 as a full-range system in an oiled-walnut enclosure at $69.95. Beyond that, nothing specific to the Model 23 survives in this archive - not the driver complement, cabinet, impedance, review coverage, or production run. If you have original documentation for it, the Archive would welcome the contribution.
