The Klipsch Heritage Forte IV will fill your room with crystal-clear sound, right down to the most minute details.
Inside, the Forte IV features an updated mid-frequency driver and a new midrange Tractrix™ horn for improved clarity and detail, as well as new ports for expanded clarity and deeper bass.
Outside, the Forte IV features a new scripted logo to match other Heritage products, a new matte black riser to give a floating appearance, and an updated brushed metal premium input panel.
As the "largest of the compact” Heritage speakers, the Forte IV offers the highest performance of any non-fully horn-loaded speaker we make.
Only the Klipsch Jubilee, Klipschorn and La Scala (with their horn-loaded, low-frequency designs) exceed the Cornwall in bass extension and output.
Initially introduced in 1959, the Forte speaker was designed to serve as a larger, full-range alternative to the Heresy when used as a center channel speaker between two widely spaced Klipschorns. Thus, the Forte is likely to be the world's second commercially produced center channel speaker.
Klipsch only uses book-matched wood veneers for the Heritage series. The veneer leaves are kept in order and arranged to provide a mirror image, like turning the pages of a book.
Heritage series loudspeaker pairs are grain-matched using wood veneer panels from the same timber. Each cabinet is carefully matched so each speaker in a pair is practically indistinguishable from the other.
In 1946, company founder Paul W. Klipsch set out to bring the power, detail, and emotion of the live music experience into homes across the globe. He left an indelible mark upon the world, in the form of the Heritage line of speakers. The Klipsch Jubilee, Klipschorn, La Scala, Cornwall, Forte, and Heresy speakers are still designed and handcrafted in the United States today.
Because Klipsch Heritage speakers are built to last, we now offer a 10-year warranty on all current and future generation Heritage Classic speakers.
