loudspeakers in
speaker enclosures. KLH had sales of $17 million, employed over 500 people and sold over 30,000 speakers a year before it was sold to

Sony filed a lawsuit against KLH (then Lavcon, Inc., trading as KLH Audio Systems) asserting
copyright infringement of a Sony home theater system. In January 2017, Kelley Global Brands bought the company and renamed it KLH Audio. The company makes premium high-end speakers. In April 2025,
Victrola, America’s longest-living record player brand and a pioneer in consumer audio, announced the acquisition of KLH Audio. ==References==
