NEW PATENTED MIDRANGEThe Forte III’s new midrange horn utilizes patented technology to improve coverage and control of the key mid-frequency band. Theres no listening experience like it on earth. DESIGNED AND MADE IN THE USAUSING DOMESTIC AND IMPORTED COMPONENTSDon’t mess with perfection. We’ve made some important upgrades to the Forte III, but it remains relatively unchanged since it’s inception. Remember great sound? We do, too. The Forte III enclosure is still made in the USA, by proud craftsmen in Hope, Arkansas. Just like Paul W. Klipsch (PWK) intended.15 PASSIVE RADIATORYIELDS FULL RANGE PERFORMANCEIn the back of the cabinet the Forte III has a secret. The Forte III’s well-extended bass is found in the use of a rear-mounted passive radiator. A mammoth 15” (38 cm) in size, this sub-bass radiator operates on acoustic pressure generated by the woofer for greater bass output and extension.BOOK-MATCHED WOOD VENEERKlipsch 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.PERFECTION AT THE GRANULAR LEVELEach pair of Forte III loudspeakers is grain-matched using wood veneer panels that come from the same timber. Each cabinet is carefully matched so that each speaker in the pair is practically indistinguishable from the other. The speakers move seamlessly together through the factory. Each finished product is inspected and labeled with sequential serial numbers, ensuring that each pair of speakers leave the factory as a meticulously crafted set.BUILT TO LASTNo detail goes unnoticed. Klipsch speakers are built to rock the house and stand the test of time. The Forte III is meticulously handcrafted and assembled using the finest quality materials, even down to the highest-grade adhesives and fasteners. This is a speaker that will be handed down for generations to come. MORE DEPTH - LESS DEEPThe Forte III is designed to fill large rooms with amazing sound without sacrificing too much floorspace. At a mere 13 (33cm) deep, the Forte III is the thinner than any Heritage Series or Reference Premiere floorstanding speaker - yet still able to deliver incredible, robust acoustics. FINISH IN STYLEThe Forte III real-wood veneer comes in four distinct finishes including Distressed Oak, Cherry, Black Ash and Walnut - all designed to blend into your homes décor.
