The flagship of the FORTE family. Designed for audiophiles who seek the best and most powerful audio experience.
Introduction to FORTE
Watch the video for a brief introduction to the FORTE series – powerful, easy-to-use speakers designed to deliver great sound without the fuss.
Argon Audio FORTE A55 MK2
Elegant yet powerful – True hi-fi!
- HDMI ARC for plug-and-play TV sound
- Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD and AAC support
- Digital inputs supporting High-Res audio up to 24-bit/96kHz
- Turntable (MM) input
- Audiophile and fully digital 4 x 80 watt Class D amplifier utilizing advanced DSP with active crossover for pristine sound
- Custom-designed woofers with a special 2-layer cone and ultra-low distortion motor system


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 an 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 are 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.

Casse consegnate nelle tempistiche indicate Estetica molto pulita che si integra bene con il mio salotto Bassi profondi come speravo, perfetti per la mia collezione di vinili rap anni 90 e funk anni 70
Francesco B. 5/5 Verified
Nel complesso buone. Appena ricevute mi hanno deluso per il suono non all'altezza, poi procedendo col rodaggio sono molto migliorate e adesso mi soddisfano abbastanza. Sono praticissime nell'uso avendo anche la connessione wifi e quindi potendosi collegare alle app direttamente: maggiore praticità d'uso e suono migliore. Forse mancano un pò nei bassi, sto pensando di aggiungere un subwoofer ma lo sconto primo ordine è scaduto.😊 Ci mediterò sopra.

Sehr Musikalisch abgestimmt, die Stimmen und das räumliche Klangbild sind sehr gut hörbar. Ich werde das setup noch mit dem Malmö 10“ ergänzen damit das Bassfundament noch etwas mehr Körper bekommt. Sehr schön verarbeitet und alles easy going. Danke ans Argon Team und Lg Mario

The minimalist look and copper rings are great to watch, but the sound experience is on another level. I re-listened to some old vinyls and found out the bands had so many more instruments I'd never heard on those records..

Ich habe mich von meiner Soundbar verabschiedet und ein neues Sterosystem gesucht. Natürlich im Netz recherchiert und bin auf Argon Audio gestossen. Und siehe da, stand heute: "absolut eine richtige Entscheidung" !! Gekauft habe ich die FORTE A55 MK2 Aktivlautsprecher in schwarz Mattlack. Angefangen mit der Verpackung, welche besser nicht sein könnte. Die Lautsprecher eine Augenweide. Sehr gut verarbeitet, sehr gut beschichtet. Der schwarze Mattlack ist sehr schön und ich denke in weiß wäre es genau so. Sie sind nicht so wuchtig wie andere Lautsprecher und wirken dadurch sehr edel. Anschließend aufstellen und anschliessen. Der erste Eindruck "richtig easy". Jetzt nach einer Woche voll im Einsatz haben sie sich schon sehr gut eingespielt. Ich bin begeister von der Tonqualität, mit welcher ich anfänglich ein paar Hördifferenzen hatte. Ich wollte das Klangbild noch etwas verändern, welches aber so nicht möglich und auch nicht gewollt ist. Der Daniel vom Argon Support war mir des öffteren eine sehr große Hilfe in der Beratung warum und weshalb das so ist. Auch was die Einstellungen betrifft hatte "Er" die perfekten Ratschläge. Nachdem ich das ganze System auch verstanden habe, genieße ich nun die volle Leistungsfähigkeit des Musik- und Filmgenuss. Vermutlich war es auch die Umstellung von Soundbar auf Stereosystem. Mittlerweile habe ich mir auch noch den passenden Subwoofer inklusive der dazugehörigen Kabel bei Argon Audio gekauft. Jetzt wird der Eine oder Andere sagen: "Kabelgebunden" ??? Aber mein Fazit: "Besser wahrgenommen als Bluethooth und WiFi" Alles in allem: Ich habe schon lange nicht mehr so viel Musik laufen und gehört wie seit dem Kauf. Klasse und Danke. 😇

Audio molto buono, ottima la possibilità di passare da connessione cavo/bluetooth alla TV, ad ascolto musica da cellulare, a giradischi, il tutto in pochissimo tempo. Imballaggio della spedizione veramente ottimo! Spedizione veloce. Unica pecca, ma magari sbaglio qualcosa io, dopo un po' la connessione bluetooth salta da connessione alla TV, bisognerebbe togliere l'impostazione di risparmio energetico ma non si riesce ed anche seguendo le indicazioni del manuale non si toglie. Collegando però le casse tramite cavo HDMI alla TV, la connessione è sempre presente molto stabile e l'audio ottimo per cui alla fine ho preferito questa soluzione. Esteticamente prodotti molto belli il che non guasta.

They lack of body, they need to be quite a lot boosted below 150-200 hz and slightly reduced around 2-3k hz because the presence is a little bit too much, innatural. The tweeter is maybe too efficient compared to the woofers. Still waiting, listening more, before to decide. Tuned they sound fine but I would prefer to not tune them. My expectations were quite higher after having read many extremely positive comments. I’ll wait end next week to decide.

Habe mich nach unzähligen Test, Videos und Hörproben für die Argon Forte A55 MK2 entschieden. In Preis/Leistung sind diese Standlautsprecher absolut unschlagbar. Klare Höhen, ausreichend Bass und das sowohl beim leise hören, als auch bei erhöhten Lautstärken. Habe dafür meine alten, jedoch geliebten IQ TED 4 Lautsprecher „geopfert“. Brauche nun keinen Verstärker mehr und habe somit auch weniger Kabel-Wirrwar herumliegen. Die Argon Forte A55 MK2 machen wirklich einfach alles so gut… mehr braucht man nicht um Musik und Film/Kinosound zu genießen. Von mir ganz klar fünf ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

They sound clear and I hope the next model will have physical buttons like the volume button , select buttons and power on/off button on top of the cabinet for easy access in case you can’t find the remote control. I also hope that you will add an ethernet port, a dedicated WiFi button for easy access to chromecast audio and airplay 2 without having to first install a control app and a usb c port for high resolution audio from a smartphone, tablet or computer. Finally if you choose the same design, I hope it will be a 2,5 way design for a better sound.

Marouan D. 5/5 Verified
Les enceintes sont magnifiques. Elles sont certes petites mais la finition est impeccable. Connectiques et fonctionnalités, rien a signaler, tout fonctionne correctement. Concernant le son, compte tenu de la taille des deux woofers, il y a une predominance des mediums. Il faut equaliser en augmentant les basses et diminuer les mediums afin de rendre l'écoute plus harmonieuse. Sinon la qualité sonore est impressionnante. Le seul point négatif est justement la taille des woofers, 5" c'est petit et c'est surtout les sons de batterie et non les basses qui sont moins percutants. Ajouter un caisson de basse sera nécessaire.
Jerome R. 4/5 Verified
Le streaming wifi manque de fluidité avec des micro coupures lors du début de lecture. La latence entre le lancement du streaming depuis le périphérique et le début de la musique est également beaucoup plus long que sur ma barre de son Bose. Je l'avais acheté en grande partie pour cette fonctionnalité. Le son est très bon par ailleurs. Même si encore en rodage.
Grégoire B. 3/5 Verified
Eine wirklich tolle Anlage, ich nutze sie in einem 45 Quadratmeter großen Raum zum Musik hören und bin damit absolut zufrieden. Ich überlege im Moment ob ich sie noch mit einem Subwoofer -Sub 10 oder 8- ergänze um die Lautsprecher etwas zu entlasten und den Bass bei manchen Songs zu optimieren. Alles Plattenspieler nutze ich den Argon Audio TT4 MK2, das Teil ist der Hammer mit Ortophon Blue. Der Unterschied zur Ortophon Red war für mich gigantisch. Beim Probe hören im HiFi Klubben Store nahm ich einen warmen und umhüllenden Sound im Gegensatz zur Red war, da fragt man sich schon was die Bronze oder Black dann kann:-))

J’ai récemment fait l’acquisition des enceintes Argon Audio Forte pour une pièce d’environ 25 m², et je dois dire que je suis bluffé par leur performance. Le design est à la fois sobre et élégant, avec une belle finition bois qui s’intègre parfaitement dans un intérieur contemporain. Côté son, c’est une vraie surprise : la scène sonore est large, les médiums sont chaleureux, les aigus détaillés sans être agressifs, et les basses sont bien présentes sans jamais être envahissantes (surtout en complément d’un caisson). Le fait qu’elles soient actives est un vrai plus : pas besoin d’ampli externe, tout est intégré, avec une connectique complète (optique, RCA, Bluetooth aptX, etc.) qui les rend très polyvalentes pour écouter aussi bien des vinyles que du streaming ou des vidéos . La télécommande fournie est simple et efficace ( dommage de ne pas avoir celle en métal ) et l’ensemble dégage une vraie impression de qualité. En résumé, les Argon Forte offrent un son audiophile, une grande simplicité d’utilisation et un excellent rapport qualité/prix. Je les recommande sans hésiter à ceux qui veulent un système hi-fi moderne, design et performant, sans se ruiner.

Adepte des enceintes amplifiées, après mon achat, j'ai attendu environ deux mois de rodage pour donner mon avis concernant ces enceintes colonne qui me donnent entière satisfaction. J'écoute quotidiennement de la musique principalement en dématérialisé (Deezer). Bien sur les audiophiles exigeants peuvent être dubitatifs mais les sons clair, médium et grave sont équilibrés et me conviennent; Néanmoins, sans oublier d'ajouter un caisson de basse voir deux (un pour chaque enceinte) ce que j'ai fait. 3 voies amplifiées avec un diamètre plus important pour la gamelle de grave serait évidemment le plus. J'ai pris le temps de les placer au mieux dans ma pièce de vie (36 m²), écartées de 2.50 mètres environ, orientées (triangle équilatéral ou isocèle comme il vous convient), posées et inclinées légèrement vers l'arrière sur des mousses acoustiques pour les surélever de 5 centimètres. Le rapport qualité/prix est réel et l'image "sonore" stéréo est vraiment très sympa. Je ne suis pas sur que 2x160 watts soit vraiment nécessaire. Pouvoir régler la présence des sons graves et clair ou médium haut/bas sur l'enceinte amplifiée serait vraiment un plus. En résumée, pour améliorer je verrai bien une enceinte trois voies amplifiées avec des haut-parleurs adéquats + un réglage pour creuser ou augmenter les médiums en fonction de la musique que l'on écoute ou de son mastering (années 60, 70, 80, 90, 2000, tous différents). Qu'en pensez-vous? Dans tous les cas, je suis satisfait de mon achat... :) PS: la photo n'est vraiment pas terrible

You can also email support@argonaudio.com or try our 30 days free return.
Can I connect a turntable directly to the speakers?
Yes. FORTE MK2 speakers feature both a dedicated PHONO input and a standard AUX input, making them compatible with virtually any turntable - no additional equipment required.
Choose the correct input depending on your turntable:
Turntable without a built-in phono preamplifier (RIAA) → Connect it directly to the PHONO input.
Turntable with a built-in phono preamplifier (RIAA) → Set the turntable to RIAA ON (or LINE) and connect it to the AUX input.
Recommended settings for Argon Audio turntables
- TT-3 and TT SIGNATURE: Connect to the PHONO input.
- TT MK2: For the best sound quality, we recommend setting the turntable to RIAA OFF and connecting it to the PHONO input, allowing the FENRIS built-in phono stage to handle the amplification.
- TT-3 Plus, TT-4 MK2, TT-4 Special Edition, and TT AURORA: We recommend setting the turntable to RIAA ON and connecting it to the AUX input. The built-in phono preamplifier in these models has been carefully matched to the supplied cartridge for excellent sound quality and the simplest setup.
This flexibility makes FENRIS compatible with virtually any turntable, whether it has a built-in phono preamplifier or not.
Do these speakers have a built-in phono preamp (RIAA)?
Yes. FORTE MK2 speakers feature a built-in phono preamp (RIAA), allowing you to connect a turntable directly to the PHONO input without needing additional equipment.
Recommended settings for Argon Audio turntables
TT-3 and TT SIGNATURE: Connect to the PHONO input.
TT MK2: For the best sound quality, we recommend setting the turntable to RIAA OFF and connecting it to the PHONO input, allowing the FENRIS built-in phono stage to handle the amplification.
TT-3 Plus, TT-4 MK2, TT-4 Special Edition, and TT AURORA: We recommend setting the turntable to RIAA ON and connecting it to the AUX input. The built-in phono preamplifier in these models has been carefully matched to the supplied cartridge for excellent sound quality and the simplest setup.
What do I need if my turntable does not have a built-in phono preamp?
With FORTE MK2, nothing extra - connect your turntable straight to the PHONO input and you're set.
Can I connect these speakers to my TV?
Yes. FORTE MK2 speakers are an excellent alternative to a soundbar, delivering true stereo sound with a wider soundstage and more natural audio for movies, TV shows, music, and gaming.
Simply connect your TV using HDMI ARC, and the speakers will automatically turn on and off with your TV. You can also control the volume using your TV remote, giving you the same everyday convenience as a soundbar—combined with the superior sound quality of a dedicated stereo speaker system.
To ensure proper audio playback, set your TV's digital audio output to PCM (Stereo). FORTE MK2 speakers are designed for two-channel audio and do not support Dolby Digital, DTS, or other surround sound formats. If your TV is set to output one of these formats, you may experience no sound or other audio issues.
Can I connect a subwoofer to these speakers?
Yes. FORTE MK2 speakers feature a dedicated SUB OUT connection, making it easy to add an active subwoofer for deeper, more powerful bass and an even more immersive listening experience.
For the simplest setup, we recommend the FORTE Subwoofer Connect Kit, which includes everything you need to connect your speakers to a compatible subwoofer quickly and easily.
Can I stream music via Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, AirPlay, Google Cast, or Spotify Connect?
FORTE MK2 supports Bluetooth 5.0 with the SBC codec, making it easy to stream music wirelessly from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
If you're looking for Wi-Fi streaming with AirPlay 2, Google Cast, or Spotify Connect, you have two great options:
- Add an Argon Audio SOLO streamer via the AUX input to upgrade your FENRIS speakers with modern Wi-Fi streaming features.
- Choose the FORTE WIFI series, which has AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and Spotify Connect built in for a seamless wireless experience.
If Bluetooth streaming is all you need, FENRIS provides a simple, reliable, and high-quality wireless solution.
How do I connect my phone to the speakers via Bluetooth?
- Turn on the speakers.
- Press the BT button to go to the Bluetooth input.
- Press and hold the PAIRING button on the remote for about 3 seconds, until the LED starts blinking. The speakers are now in pairing mode.
- Open the Bluetooth settings on your device.
- Select ARGON FORTE MK2 from the list of available devices.6. Tap Pair. When connected, the speaker's LED will turn solid blue.
How do I use AirPlay2, Spotify Connect and Google Cast?
First step is to connect the speakers to your Wi-Fi network:
- Download the DTS Play-Fi app on your phone or tablet.
- Follow the in-app setup instructions to connect the speakers to your Wi-Fi network.
- Once connected, the speakers will be available as a playback device for AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Google Cast. Before first use, make sure the speakers are updated to the latest firmware through the Play-Fi app.
What are active speakers?
At Argon Audio, active speakers are designed to deliver true hi-fi sound without the complexity of a traditional separates system.
Unlike passive speakers, which require an external amplifier, our active speakers have the amplifier built in. This allows you to connect sources such as a TV, turntable, smartphone, computer, or streamer directly to the speakers for a simple, space-saving setup.
Because the amplifier, drivers, crossover, and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) are all designed and tuned together, every component works in perfect harmony. The amplifier is precisely matched to the drivers, allowing us to optimize the sound, improve efficiency, and ensure consistent performance across the entire frequency range.
Depending on the model, Argon Audio active speakers also include features such as HDMI ARC, Bluetooth, built-in phono preamplifiers (RIAA), and Wi-Fi streaming, making them an ideal all-in-one solution for music, TV, gaming, and vinyl.
What is the difference between active and passive speakers?
The main difference is that active speakers have a built-in amplifier, while passive speakers require an external amplifier to power them.
At Argon Audio, our FENRIS, FORTE, and STUDIE 3 series are active speakers. They combine the amplifier, drivers, crossover, and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) into a single, carefully tuned system. Because every component is designed to work together, the amplifier is perfectly matched to the drivers, resulting in optimized performance, excellent sound quality, and a simple plug-and-play setup.
Active speakers can be connected directly to sources such as TVs, turntables, smartphones, computers, streamers, and CD players, eliminating the need for a separate amplifier and reducing both clutter and setup time.
Our FORUS series consists of passive speakers. These speakers require an external amplifier or AV receiver to provide power and manage audio sources. This approach offers greater flexibility, allowing you to choose, upgrade, or replace your amplifier independently as your system evolves.
For stereo music systems, FORUS speakers pair perfectly with stereo amplifiers such as the SA1 MK2 or SA2. If you're planning to build a home cinema system with surround sound (5.1, 7.1, or more), you'll need a compatible AV receiver instead of a stereo amplifier.
Which should you choose?
If you're looking for the simplest, smartest all-in-one solution with exceptional sound quality and minimal setup, active speakers are the ideal choice. If you prefer maximum flexibility, enjoy upgrading individual components, or plan to build a surround sound home cinema system, passive speakers may be the better fit.
What is the difference between bookshelf and floorstanding speakers?
The main differences are size, bass performance, and output capability.
The FORTE A4 MK2 and A5 MK2 are bookshelf speakers with one woofer and one tweeter. The A5 MK2 features a larger woofer, providing deeper bass and greater output than the A4 MK2.
The FORTE A55 MK2 is a floorstanding speaker with two woofers and one tweeter. This configuration allows it to move more air, resulting in deeper bass, greater dynamic headroom, and a larger, more effortless sound.
All FORTE MK2 models share the same features and connectivity. The ideal choice depends on your room size and listening preferences.
Can I add more speakers to my pair of active speakers?
No. Our active speaker systems are designed as dedicated stereo pairs, consisting of one left and one right speaker.
They do not support adding additional speakers for surround sound, multi-channel audio, or expanding the stereo setup. If you are looking for a simple and high-quality two-channel listening experience, active stereo speakers are an excellent choice.
How far should the speakers be placed from the wall?
As a general rule, we recommend placing your speakers 10–30 cm (4–12 inches) from the rear wall. This usually provides a good balance between bass performance, soundstage, and clarity.
Placing speakers closer to the wall will typically increase bass output, while moving them further into the room can improve imaging and reduce bass coloration.
The ideal distance depends on the speaker model, room acoustics, and your personal preferences. If possible, experiment with different positions to find the sound that works best in your room.
Do I need a separate amplifier or receiver?
No. That's the whole point of active speakers - FENRIS, FORTE MK2, FORTE WIFI, and STUDIE 3 all have amplification built in, so you can connect your TV, turntable, phone, or computer directly with no separate amplifier required.
That means a smaller footprint, one less box to buy, and fewer cables to manage, without compromising on sound quality.
