The Klipsch Heritage Forte IV Floor-standing Speakers bring smooth, dynamic horn-loaded fidelity and stunning furniture-grade craftsmanship into your home listening space. Handcrafted in Hope, Arkansas, this legendary 3-way loudspeaker design pairs an all-new K-702 polyimide compression midrange driver housed in a wide-dispersion Tractrix® horn with a 12-inch front-firing woofer and a rear-mounted 15-inch passive sub-bass radiator, producing room-filling dynamics, high efficiency, and deep, articulate bass.
Key Features & Innovations
3-way horn-loaded driver topology — the Klipsch Heritage Forte IV Floor-standing Speakers combine a titanium diaphragm compression tweeter, polyimide compression midrange, and 12-inch woofer to deliver live-concert dynamics and effortless clarity.
K-702 midrange driver with modified Tractrix® horn — all-new polyimide midrange compression driver paired with a steep-horn design provides smooth off-axis dispersion and pinpoint acoustic imaging across the vocal spectrum.
Rear-mounted 15-inch passive radiator — sub-bass passive driver operates on acoustic pressure generated by the active 12-inch woofer, extending low-frequency authority down to 38Hz without port turbulence.
Book-matched real wood veneer cabinetry — cabinet panels are crafted from book-matched wood veneers sourced from the same timber, creating an aesthetically symmetrical pair with a seamless grain pattern.
Bi-wire / bi-amp input panel — heavy-duty dual aluminum binding post terminals feature high-purity jumper links and support bi-wiring or bi-amplifying configurations.
FAQ — Forte IV
Are these speakers sold individually or as a pair?
The Klipsch Heritage Forte IV Floor-standing Speakers are packaged, grain-matched, and sold as a factory-certified stereo pair.
How far should the Forte IV speakers be placed from the back wall?
Because they feature a rear-mounted 15-inch passive radiator, placing them between 2 and 10 inches from the rear boundary wall helps tune and maximize low-frequency bass output.
Do these speakers require a high-powered amplifier?
No. Thanks to their incredible 99 dB sensitivity rating, the Forte IV speakers can easily be driven to concert levels using low-power tube amplifiers or high-current solid-state electronics starting at just 15 to 20 Watts.
Where are the Klipsch Forte IV speakers manufactured?
Every pair of Forte IV speakers is designed, engineered, and hand-built in Hope, Arkansas, USA, as part of the flagship Klipsch Heritage Series.
