Howdy evets,
As LAVCON Inc. who does business (DBA) as KLH Audio Systems
CORPORATION CALIFORNIA is a privately owned company, there
is not much available on them.
From their website.
http://www.klhaudio.com/
"KLH is a family owned business."
More about KLH on their "about" web page.
http://www.klhaudio.com/about.htm
"KLH was founded in 1957 with one goal -- producing superior
quality hi-fi loudspeakers at affordable prices."
From their Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page.

"KLH left Cambridge a long time ago. The KLH name has changed
hands several times since Cambridge. KLH is now a privately
held corporation with U.S. ownership. Our factory and offices
are located in Sun Valley CA near Los Angeles. The present
owners have had the KLH name since January of 1989."
They have had at least one legal problem, as reported on this
MSN Money web page.

"Sony Corp. Files Suit Against KLH Audio Systems June 09, 2003
Sony Corp. announced that it has filed a lawsuit to prevent
Lavcon, Inc. (also trading as KLH Audio Systems) from copying
the design of a Sony home theater system model (DAV-S500). The
complaint charges KLH with design patent and copyright
infringement. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court
for the District of New Jersey."
All of the above said, it is doubtful that KLH, essentially a
speaker company, makes the televisions that carry the KLH brand.
Rather, they are probably rebranded televisions, that is,
televisions made by someone else, with the KLH name placed on it.
If you look at the KLH Model KT2006 20" TV and the Apex Model
AT-2002 20" television, you will find remarkable similarities.
