I have listened to them at the same dealer who stocks Tannoy Legacy Eatons and Cheviots. I would position the model 5 as a very high value for money loudspeaker. It lacks ( just a bit) the tonal richness and body in the mids of the slightly higher priced tannoys. But that was expected at that price point. The KLH walks a fine balance act between slim floorstander speakers and big Jbls / klipschs. Balanced sound and musical. Definitely worth an audition. I would pick that speaker over many slim floorstanders in the same price point.

Price i think is close to whats mentioned above

The Kendell is for people who want something more conventional
It goes up against the Tekton and the Polk reserve 700
