The elegant design and outstanding performance made the Forte a standout among its competitors. In 2017, Klipsch re-introduced the Forte as part of the Heritage speaker series. The Forte III featured updated cosmetics and the latest advancements in acoustic engineering while maintaining the original charisma that made the Forte so popular. The Forte IV builds on that with a new midrange driver, the same one found on the Cornwall IV. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eHigh efficiency and high performance \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Forte IV hosts a three-way design utilizing a 12” woofer and horn-loaded midrange and tweeter.

Just like Paul W. Klipsch (PWK) intended. Klipsch only uses book-matched wood veneers for the Heritage series. The veneer leaves are kept in order as they are delicately sliced from the timber and precisely arranged to provide a mirror image at the splice joint — like turning the pages of a book. This gives each speaker a more aesthetically appealing and consistent appearance that is treasured more than any other cut of wood veneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 500;\"\u003eEach pair of Forte IV loudspeakers is grain-matched using wood veneer panels that come from the same timber. Every cabinet is carefully matched so that each speaker in the pair is practically indistinguishable from the other.
