HIGH PERFORMANCE IS OUR FORTE

First introduced in 1985, the Forte quickly established itself as the most popular

Klipsch model. The elegant design and outstanding performance made the Forte a

standout among its competitors. In 2017, Klipsch re-introduced the Forte as part of the

Heritage speaker series. The new Forte IV features updated cosmetics and the latest

advancements in acoustic engineering, while maintaining the original charisma that

made the Forte so popular.

Don’t mess with perfection. We’ve made some important upgrades to the Forte IV,

but it remains relatively unchanged since its inception. Remember great sound?

We do, too. The Forte IV enclosure is still made in the USA, by proud craftsmen in

Hope, Arkansas. Just like Paul W. Klipsch (PWK) intended.
