Description

The Forte IV continues Klipsch’s Heritage tradition: a highly efficient, horn-loaded three-way loudspeaker
designed for dynamics, detail and room-filling output. Hand-assembled in Hope, Arkansas, the Forte IV
pairs a horn-loaded midrange and titanium diaphragm high-frequency compression driver with a 12″ fiber-composite
woofer and a rear 15″ passive radiator for extended, powerful bass. Book-matched wood veneer cabinets and
a steep-slope, high-fidelity crossover network complete the design, making the Forte IV as much a statement
piece as a reference-grade speaker.

Key features

  • 12″ fiber-composite woofer plus 15″ passive cone radiator for deep, controlled bass extension.
  • High efficiency and high maximum SPL — works well with a range of amplifiers.
