Klipsch Floorstanding Speaker Forte IV McLaren Edition Limited
The history of Klipsch is so great that the concept of "retro model" in relation to the products of this brand becomes very, very extensible. For example, the legendary Klipschorn was born in 1945, and the Klipsch Forte model, which will be discussed today, is much younger: its first version appeared in 1985. But in the third decade of the 21st century, both models look equally old-school.
The main beauty of Klipsch retro models is that the company's engineers do not have to remember anything and reproduce long-lost technologies - all these speakers with authentic vintage design are updated, albeit not often, but still regularly.
Moreover, each new generation is being finalized using modern technologies and with an eye to current requirements for sound quality. It is for this reason that Klipsch Forte IVs are not quite the speakers they seem at first glance. But first things first.
The same Klipsch
Klipsch Forte IV speakers are made in the USA in Hope, Arkansas, which adds a lot of value to them. If we were talking about typical columns, "columns", especially inexpensive ones, the issue of production would be frankly secondary.
But with the Klipsch Heritage line and the Forte IV in particular, it's a different story. This is where you just want authenticity and “that same Klipsch”. Marketers subtly felt this moment, and here Forte IV fully meets expectations.
Klipsch Forte IV Floorstanding Speaker Test
Solid-sized "cabinets" classified as floorstanders look the same as Klipsch did 30 or 40 years ago. The brutal retro design of the front panel with rectangular horns can be softened with colorful fabric grills.

Klipsch
Paul W. Klipsch believed four principles to be the foundation for great sound. They continue to drive the design of every new Klipsch speaker, today and tomorrow: High Efficiency / Low Distortion Klipsch horn technology is highly efficient, providing more accurate sound with less power and less distortion – resulting in louder, cleaner audio. Klipsch’s Law: Efficiency is inversely proportional to distortion. Controlled Directivity Klipsch horn technology accurately directs sound to the proper locations, which, in turn, creates a more lifelike soundstage without wasting acoustic energy where sound is not needed or desired. Wide Dynamic Range The softest sounds are reproduced with remarkable clarity and the loudest sounds are delivered without harshness or distortion – with the greatest possible range between the softest and loudest sounds. Flat Frequency Response Audio is delivered without frequency bias – no unnatural highs, mids or lows – reproducing recorded sound as accurately as possible without colorization.
