Crystal clear sound!
Andrew from Saginaw on 11/9/2022
This is one capable center channel speaker! I have KLH Quincy mains, Story center, Beacon surrounds and a pair of Windsor 10 subs. They are all driven by a higher end Yamaha AVR. The Story replaced a Polk Audio center speaker which always worked well and sounded good in my application. However, changing to the Story revealed what I had been missing. The Story is more natural sounding and it responds to changes in dynamics WAY better than the Polk. It blends seamlessly with the rest of the speakers for a truly immersive home theater experience. Build quality and fit/finish are all excellent, mimicking the Quincys simplicity and flawless construction. Real wood veneer is well done and uncommon for speakers in this price range. I have really grown to appreciate the magnetic grill attachment, too. Overall, I have nothing bad to say about the KLH Story (or any of the other, new-generation KLHs). These speakers all offer excellent performance, and not just for the price. I think you would have to spend significantly more to achieve much improvement over what these KLHs have to offer. As always, Crutchfield was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Pros: Sound quality, build quality, value for cost.
Cons: None

KLH Story
Crutchfield customer from Salt Lake City, UT on 9/22/2021
The sound quality is very good, especially given the price. I have it paired with old B&W 702 bookshelf speakers and it does not cloud up the sound when in 3 channel or playing a movie. I am very pleased with the purchase. It replaced a really bad Polk center speaker that just muddied the sound no matter what I did.
Pros: Good sound quality price for that sound quality
Cons: none

Fantastic center channel speaker & a very lucky 'scratch & dent' find
Crutchfield customer from Seattle, WA on 5/31/2020
I bought this KLH Story center channel speaker to match KLH bookshelf speakers that my grandfather had passed down to me years ago. All I can say is "wow!" The range is impressive, voices in movies are extremely clear, and gaming audio from the center now has a new level of realism that I hadn't experienced before. Also worth noting that I purchased the 'scratch and dent' version of this speaker since the speaker would be relatively hidden. It came in a different box but there was literally only ONE small scratch on the side, which I filled in with a black wood/furniture marker. It looks brand new. Thank you Crutchfield!

Impressive Center - Clear, Natural Sound
Crutchfield customer from Denver, CO on 6/12/2019
I bought these along with the KLH Kendall towers and KLH Beacon dipole surrounds and finally have the system up in running in our new house. I've got everything hooked up to a Denon X3500H and calibrated the system with the Audessy mic that came with the AVR. I'm completely satisfied with the Story as the dialogue is crystal clear and natural sounding. I'm hearing more detail out of the Storys than my previous system. All KLH speakers are well built with great fit and finish and the Story is now exception. Looks great and the system as a whole sounds phenomenal so not a single complaint here. Highly recommended!

Incredible detailed sound, crystal clear dialogue at all volumes. Pairs up and matches well with my KLH Kendalls for L & R, Beacons for surrounds.
