BUILT TO ROCK

Klipsch's Heritage Series loudspeakers can be the heart of a party. A college friend of mine had a small room, and a pair of Klipsch Heresies. He'd crank Grateful Dead live recordings, Josh White country blues, or whatever those speakers never failed to grab your attention. Klipsch's up-front sonic profile lives loud in the Forte IV. Horn-loaded midrange and tweeter sections project inviting, close-to-the-bone clarity.

The Forte IV is a great choice if you like to listen to live recordings. The dynamic energy of inspired performances really reaches out from these speakers even with a modestly powered amplifier, thanks to the highly efficient 99 dB sensitivity.

WHAT'S BETTER THAN A PORT?

The Forte IV's rear panel sports a burly 15" passive radiator. It acts like a port, but with tighter control over low frequencies.

Coupled with the active 12" front-firing woofer, the radiator's extra cone surface area gives authoritative girth to the 'IV's "listen-to-me," attention-grabbing sonic profile.

PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA

The Forte IV is designed and hand-built in Hope, Arkansas. It's available in four beautiful wood veneer finishes: Black Ash, American Walnut, Natural Cherry and Distressed Oak.

Klipsch book-matches the veneers for each speaker, providing a beautiful mirror image at the splice joints. And the speaker pairs are grain-matched with wood from the same timber. It's a nice touch, and the kind of attention to detail that sets Klipsch's Heritage line apart.
