jjptkd Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Beautiful! Any big change in the sound from the III's? https://d2um2qdswy1tb0.cloudfront.net/product-specsheets/Forte-IV-Spec-Sheet-v01-1.pdf?mtime=20210201092223&focal=none 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fido Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I’m surprised there are not more comments about the new Forte 4s as Fortes are the best selling Heritage speakers of all time. Fortes are a perfect fit in my space. I love mine but wonder if they sound closer to the Cornwall 4 now With the latest upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The changes are limited enough to be easy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbiz Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hopefully the IIIs will be priced a little lower to move fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 4s sound as good as the first review says I think it would be tough to buy the 3s even after a discounted sales price. It sounds like the 4s are at another level never seen before.

Mike Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 May I say the new Klipsch Forte IV looks breathtaking! I think the new midrange compression driver is going to make a serious difference. Can't wait to hear them :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkscience Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I pre-ordered 3 weeks ago, the III's are being picked up when the IV's are delivered.

Don't get me wrong- I've been a Klipsch user for many years but this is marketing. Especially in the Audio world. out with old in with the new. I'll be keeping my Forte III's for a while. I'm not so sure that the newer models are worth $2300 more than what I paid for the Forte IIIs. Have to wait and see what/when the new reviews from regular owners start coming out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to wait and see what/when the new reviews from regular owners start coming out. yes this is marketing but I believe that this is necessary marketing and that is to keep up or get out. I don't know if you get out to the audio shops much but in the last half dozen years the sound quality of loudspeakers has been increasing rapidly all across the market especially in small compact two and three way designs. Klipsch needs to deliver more to stay competitive. That is what this is about and they seem to be responding with shining colours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
