KLIPSCH FORTE III

Second-hand. In good conditions. The only sign of wear is shown in the photos. Comes with original packaging.

The Forte III is a three-way loudspeaker that combines a 12-inch woofer with horn-loaded midrange and tweeter drivers, delivering a smooth and powerful sound response. Featuring all-new state-of-the-art drivers, including titanium compression drivers for the midrange and tweeter, the Forte III ensures rich and detailed sound reproduction. Its dedicated midrange horn employs patented technology to improve coverage and control of the critical mid-frequency range, resulting in a natural and immersive listening experience. The outcome is a unique sound performance that preserves the original project’s perfection.

Aesthetically, the Forte III is equally impressive: each cabinet is handcrafted in the USA, in Hope, Arkansas, by proud artisans who honor Paul W. Klipsch’s tradition. The exclusive use of book-matched wood veneers guarantees extraordinary visual beauty and unmatched aesthetic consistency, with mirror-image grain patterns creating harmony and continuity across surfaces. Each pair of speakers is carefully matched to ensure perfect veneer alignment, making the pair virtually identical and harmonious, as if carved from a single piece.

At the back, the Forte III hides a secret that enhances its bass extension: a 15-inch passive radiator that uses the acoustic pressure generated by the woofer to increase low-frequency output, delivering deep, full-bodied bass. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from carefully selected materials to the highest-quality adhesives and fasteners used in assembly, resulting in a product that not only offers top-tier performance but is also built to last and be passed down through generations.

To meet the most demanding audiophile requirements, the Forte III is equipped with robust, high-quality bi-wire input terminals, allowing versatile and high-performance connections suitable for any listening setup.

The Klipsch Forte III is a faithful musical interpreter and a true revealer of sonic truth. For pure emotion, joyful leaps, and exhilarating moments that only the most sincere hi-fi can provide, the Forte III is a speaker like no other. It delivers profound musical pleasure and new insight into the music itself.
