KLH Three $1800 Per Pair Price Includes Stands The 3s themselves are 19h, 12.25w, 10.5d, 30 lbs, 6 ohms, 88dB SPL. They are 28.25h on their stands. The 3s have an 8” Cast Frame Pulp Fiber Woofer & 1” Aluminum Dome Tweet. They sound solid and open. The success of VINTAGE speaker designs is alive and well. I like the formula. Take a speaker from the 60s that was iconic, like the KLH 5 or Klipsch Heritage models, and build it to LOOK the same, but have modern components within. KLH has done this as effectively as anyone.

NAD C399 Integrated Amp $2000 (180×2) (4 3/4h, 17 1/8w, 15 3/8d, 25 lbs) NAD’s new, dynamite (!) integrated amp has just landed. It features NAD’s cutting edge PowerDrive nCore amplifier technology. It eschews the world of traditional amplifier design which is replete with mismatched output transistors. C399 is more efficient and refined in performance. C399 is better in that it resolves instrumental character without the ragged edges that come with traditional technology. Mismatched transistors create artifacts that aren’t part of what should be there. We hear them as harsh and unpleasant. C399 is not only smooth, it’s conspicuously MUSCULAR.
