A new take on a classic Klipsch tower speaker

Klipsch's Forte floor-standing speakers have been captivating music lovers since the company introduced them in 1985. Crutchfield customers fell in love with the Forte III, and now we're excited to offer the Forte IV, the latest version of this classic speaker.

New in the 'IV are the redesigned midrange compression driver with a polyimide diaphragm, and a wide-dispersion phase plug in the tweeter. These design tweaks help smooth out the mids and spread the high frequencies into a wider sweet spot.

Klipsch has revoiced the Forte IV with a fresh crossover network based on the steep-slope design in their premium Klipschorn and La Scala models. And three of the finishes come with a new retro-styled salt and pepper grille cloth.
