These speakers sound amazing and have a old-school vibe to them. This deal pairs the speakers and the stands. For those into vinyl, the stands serve as a place to store some records. Not a bad deal if you can swing it.

I own the KLH Model 5 so I've watched and read many reviews before getting them, with many pitting them against the Lintons as you have noted.

But I actually have seen just as many reviews that put the Lintons over the Model 5's.

Erin's Audio Corner preferred the Lintons to the Model 5's in subjective listening tests. He also uses the Klippel Nearfield Scanner to measure loudspeakers, which showed the Lintons to be a more neutral measuring speaker, though the Model 5 was not bad.

Andrew Robinson on YouTube chose the Lintons as his speaker of the year in 2021 over the Model 5's, though he did also really like the KLH.

Steve Guttenberg said he was sent the KLH Model 5 and then sent them back without making a video review because they didn't do anything for him. Conversely, he liked the Lintons enough to make a review video.

I'm enjoying the KLH Model 5 a lot, but I'm sure the Lintons are also really nice and probably better value for the money.
Ill do you better than Google; I owned both. Returned the KLH. Both had very wide dispersion which i liked but the KLH was just a tad too harsh especially in the mid range.It was a tough decision but I think the Lintons were more neutral. Everything i threw at it sounded great whereas the KLH was more lively, in some cases too much in certain parts
Way to be an effing prick. Youra6 was just asking because there are probably quite a few pairs in the $2k range. But you had to be THAT guy.

I think I read—from someone's post here in SD actually—that audio/headphone/speakers are like art combined with technology. So it's not like most tech we've gotten accustomed to, comparing final price to the BOM (which does not include R&D). Also they're not making up for slim margins with high volume, like a laptop or a phone.

But yeah, law of diminishing returns applies here, as with a lot of things. A $2k speaker will most likely not sound 4x better than a $500 speaker. But to those hobbyists, enthusiasts, audiophiles, musicians, etc., it matters to get that little bit extra.

I think it's dead.

Alternatively you can buy them individually Open Box or Scratch and Dent at Crutchfield. If you do that and purchase the stands you can still get them for around $1450-$1500.

It is open box/scratch and dent, but the bonus over the Music Direct deal is cheaper return shipping costs should you decide these are not to your liking during the first 60 days.
