As new owner of the forte iv, I'm completely smitten by this little beast. Unbelievably awesome sound out of it. I paired them with a pair of rythmik subs, there is really no aspect I can complain about with its sound. But I know historically people have been able to elevate their klipsch with crossover upgrade (GR research kit for example). So I'm wondering if anyone have attempt to do that with the Forte IV? And if anyone aware if any companies/individuals looking into offering upgrade kit for it. Cheers

They sent me the whole new driver. I believe only klipsch or the oem factory can redo the diaphragm. I tested with all the genres from spotify I can think of, and it's good now. And yes, forte iv sounding life-like and awesome. I'm using it as main instead of my usual sopra to break-in as well as hooking up my dual rythmik F12Gs to it for the 20-50 region. Would love to find the schematic for the crossover and see if they can be upgraded in the future.

It was the K702, the diaphragm was defective. The reseller sent me another and its now singing beautifully. I can see the Forte staying for very long time.....

I just purchased a pair of new Forte IV online from one of the reseller, and notice that 1 of them is producing hoarse static distortion noise around certain frequency (playing piano pieces). Contacted the seller, and waiting for the reply. But very disappointing that a brand new pair has this issue from klipsch, QC should have caught it.
