The Klipsch Forte IV Loudspeaker’s heritage might make you think that it’s simply a party speaker designed specifically for playing loud. While that may be partially correct, it doesn’t tell the whole story of what these fantastic speakers have to offer.

Klipsch Forte IV Loudspeaker

I don’t know how exactly, but the opportunity to really sit down and listen to Klipsch speakers had avoided me for all of these years. So, when the opportunity came up to review the Klipsch Forte IV Loudspeakers, I jumped at the opportunity. I must admit, however, that my preconceived notion about Klipsch was that they were old-school party speakers made for those who just want to rock-out. I don’t know exactly how or when my assumption came about for the American speaker manufacturer that’s been around for over 70 years, but my guess is that I’m not the only one.

While my extended review period lasted for about 6 months, I knew right away that my assumptions were completely wrong. The Klipsch Forte IV loudspeakers took me on a journey and introduced me to an entirely new type of music playback.
