*Priced as a pair
The Klipsch Forte IV is the sweet spot in the Heritage lineup—the speaker that somehow balances room-friendly size with full-tilt live-music energy. Hand-built in Hope, Arkansas, the Forte IV pairs a horn-loaded mid and tweeter with a powerful 12-inch woofer and a massive rear passive radiator, delivering speed, punch, and scale that feels effortless and immediate. It’s wildly efficient, making it a dream match for tube amps, where vocals bloom, guitars bite, and dynamics explode without ever feeling forced. The sound is big, bold, and alive—but refined enough to listen all day. Classic looks, modern voicing, and that unmistakable Klipsch grin factor—the Forte IV is the kind of speaker that makes you fall in love with your system all over again.
