Digital precision

FORTE MK2 utilizes a fully digital amplifier with digital modulation. Digital sources are kept fully digital from input to output stage, ensuring there is no noise or loss in the signal path. All low-res sources are upsampled to 32-bit/96 kHz – and high-res sources up to 96 kHz are not downsampled.

The amplifier also includes a high-performance digital sound processing (DSP) with active crossover, the mid/bass woofers and tweeters have their own dedicated amplifier. A custom engineered bass driver delivers class leading performance with ultra-low distortion in the critical midrange. All of this is housed in a stylish cabinet that has been designed using advanced computer models, featuring an acoustic flow resistor between the two woofers, which eliminates standing wave resonances. Combined with careful tuning and consideration the result is an open and crisp soundstage with well-defined bass that delivers punch no matter the volume.

A stereo system built into your speaker

FORTE MK2 sports a HDMI ARC input, which means you can finally throw away that cheap plastic soundbar underneath your TV and get some real stereo sound, without compromising on ease-of-use. Just connect your FORTE MK2 speakers with an HDMI cable to your TVs HDMI ARC output, and you’re good to go! Now you get real hi-fi sound losslessly transferred from your TV, the speakers will automatically turn on and off with the TV, and you can even use your TV remote to control the volume of the speakers – it’s that easy.

Of course, there’s also the Bluetooth connection if you just want to listen to some sweet tunes. Just pair your phone, your tablet, or any other device, and you’re good to go. The high-quality Bluetooth aptX HD-connection gives you impressive clarity; it’s basically as good as CD-quality. There’s also a couple of plug-and-play ports for your record player, an external streamer or whatever you want. Speaker- and power cables are included in the box – all you need to do is find a power outlet.

Designed in Denmark

If you’re in the market for new speakers, you’ve probably noticed how most of them look very... speakerish. And that’s not a compliment. The FORTE MK2’s on the other hand, are real lookers. Just like everything else Argon Audio makes, the FORTE-series is designed and engineered in Denmark with careful attention to detail. The aluminum detailing and the high-end finish make these speakers just as easy on the eyes as on the ears. The front fabric is magnetically attached, giving it a beautiful look when the grilles are removed. These are living room friendly, not only hi-fi showroom friendly.

HiFi Reviews

"Argon Audio makes a bold statement in compact design with the FORTE A4 MK2. The demanding Danish company impresses on several levels: visually, the speaker pair is an elegant mini sound furniture piece that reflects its Scandinavian origin. Most importantly, the FORTE A4 MK2 has exceptional sound quality. The sound is powerful, has great depth, and is very clear, regardless of the music genre. The two speakers are highly versatile, replacing both a soundbar and a Hi-Fi system. Visually, it's high-end, and acoustically, it's high-end. We give this performance a big compliment!"

"The Forte A4 mk2 preserves everything that made the original Forte A4 great. The sound quality is still excellent, and the design has been further improved. Additionally, connectivity options have been expanded, and the HDMI ARC capability is the icing on the cake. They can be connected to a TV instead of a soundbar and elevate the audio experience in a home office, a teenager's bedroom, or a small living room. Moreover, they look great wherever you place them."

"[…] these loudspeakers have great qualities that enable them to easily earn our recommendations. With excellent sound spatialization, user-friendly operation (despite the absence of certain functions), good midrange processing, and delightful rendering of vocal timbre, they offer a smooth, shimmering musical experience that is very pleasant and easily accessible for the majority of listeners."

"The Argon Audio Forte A4 doesn’t cost much but sounds much more expensive and should be able to give far more ambitious speakers a run for their money. Also when it comes to the bass, which reaches all the way down to the frequency limit without loss of power."
