Klipsch Heritage Forte IV Floorstanding Speakers - American Walnut Pair - Like-New

99dB Sensitivity Makes Your Amp Sound Twice as Powerful

Most speakers waste 95% of your amp's power as heat. Paul Klipsch figured this out in 1946. His horn designs turn that wasted energy into sound. The Forte IV keeps this going with modern drivers and computer-tuned horns. Your 20-watt tube amp suddenly fills the room. Your 100-watt receiver sounds like 500.

Built by Hand in Hope, Arkansas

Klipsch still makes these where they started -- Hope, Arkansas. The same workers who build $20,000 Klipschorns assemble every Forte IV. The Black Ash finish is real wood veneer, not vinyl wrap. Each pair gets book-matched for visual harmony. The joints are furniture-grade. This is American craft, not overseas assembly.

Condition: Open-box, like-new -- these are in such fine condition you wouldn't know they had ever been played, all protective materials intact Retail: $5,499/pair

The Goldilocks Speaker Since 1985

The Forte sits between the massive Klipschorn and the compact Heresy. It's sized for real rooms. At 36 inches tall and 72 pounds each, these speakers make a statement without taking over your space. The Black Ash finish works in modern or traditional rooms.

Three Horns Working Together

The tweeter uses a titanium dome in an exponential horn. Crisp highs without harshness. The midrange horn has a polyimide diaphragm with Tractrix geometry -- voices sound natural and present. The 12-inch woofer handles the heavy lifting while a 15-inch passive radiator on the back reaches down to 38Hz. Real bass from a speaker you can drive with a flea-watt amp.

Why Horn Speakers Sound Different

Horns focus sound at your ears instead of spraying it everywhere. Less energy hits the walls and ceiling. Fewer reflections mean cleaner sound. The Forte IV's controlled directivity makes your room behave better without treatments. This is why tube amp owners love Klipsch.

Open-Box Means Savings Without Compromise

These speakers were opened and inspected. That's it. Never hooked up. Never played. The Black Ash veneer is flawless. You get the full Klipsch 5-year Heritage warranty. Complete with grilles, risers, manual, and original packaging. Everything you'd get buying new, minus the new price.
