Heritage Series 3-way floor-standing loudspeaker • 12” woofer • horn-loaded midrange and tweeter • 15” rear passive radiator • high-efficiency 99dB design • handcrafted real wood veneer cabinetry
The Klipsch Heritage Forte IV Floor-standing Speaker (pair) is one of the most celebrated designs in the Heritage lineup, combining a relatively room-friendly footprint with the scale, immediacy, and dynamic realism Klipsch is known for. First introduced in 1985 and refined for its fourth generation, this speaker blends classic Heritage styling with updated acoustic engineering for a presentation that feels vivid, powerful, and emotionally direct.
For listeners who want the energy and live-music feel of a true high-efficiency loudspeaker without stepping into an oversized cabinet, the Forte IV is a compelling centerpiece for a serious two-channel system.
Horn-loaded midrange and high frequency system — the Forte IV uses a titanium diaphragm high-frequency compression driver and a polyimide midrange compression driver, each coupled to purpose-designed horns for efficiency, detail, and strong dynamic contrast.
Large passive radiator bass system — the rear-mounted 15” passive radiator works from acoustic pressure generated by the active woofer, helping the speaker achieve fuller bass extension and stronger low-frequency output without a conventional port.
Heritage network and cabinetry — Klipsch revoiced the network with premium components and continues to hand-assemble the enclosure in Hope, Arkansas, pairing classic construction values with refined acoustic tuning.
In a carefully matched setup, the Klipsch Heritage Forte IV Floor-standing Speaker (pair) delivers a combination of speed, scale, tonal character, and physical impact that few speakers at any size achieve in quite the same way.
This listing is for a pair.
The fourth-generation version includes updated cosmetics, a new K-702 midrange compression driver, a revised high-frequency phase plug, and a reworked network for improved performance.
Yes. It uses horn-loaded midrange and high-frequency drivers, paired with a 12” woofer and a 15” rear passive radiator.
Its high sensitivity makes it a very strong match for a wide range of electronics, including lower-powered tube amplifiers and high-quality solid-state integrated amplifiers.
The Forte IV enclosure is hand-assembled in the USA in Hope, Arkansas.
