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.

Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about all this technical mumbo-jumbo. Just press play, listen, and we promise it will all make sense.

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

"The Argon Audio Forte A55 Mk2 is an excellent set of speakers that can help you save some money without compromising on quality. As is often the case, less is more. These speakers come equipped with all the essential connections and features, enhancing the listening experience in any modern living room. Despite their powerful appearance, they can also produce equally delicate sounds. We highly recommend these speakers and acknowledge their outstanding performance."

"The Argon Audio Forte A55 is a great value speaker. You simply get the same good sound that was characteristic of little brother Forte A4 – only for larger living rooms and with the possibility of deeper bass and higher sound pressure."

Disappointed.

First things first. The sound quality. I don't know if my speakers are faulty, but I don't like the sound quality at all. The sound is thin, cold and bassless even I have subwoofer connected. Compared to my previous Yamaha RX-V583+Wharfedale Diamond 9.1, they beat ArgonAudio speakers 100-0. It is true that AA's tone is very clear, but if this is The AA Tone, I don't like it. Waiting for my son to listen speakers too what he thinks about them, it is very close that I wil return the speakers. Another issue is, that the Auto Power Up doesn't work with my Panasonic tv. The speakers turn off, when I shut down tv, but they don't power up, when I turn on the tv.

Forte A4 MK2

Absolutely brilliant speakers for listening to music. Plays cleanly and distinctly at every volume. I highly recommend.

FORTE A4 MK2

Nice pair of speakers, very easy to setup using HDMI-ARC and Bluetooth. Clear sound with decent bass for a such a small speakers. I use them mainly around my LG TV. Maybe I supplement them later with the subwoofer anyhow. Delivery worked fine as well.

Top Lautsprecher, sehr zu Empfehlen

Ich kann die FORTE A5 MK2

bestens empfehlen, zumal ich einen direkten vergleich zur Nubert nuPro SP-200
habe da sie ebenfalls in meinen Haushalt vorhanden sind.

Die FORTE A5 MK2 sind sauber verarbeitet und leicht in Betrieb zu setzen.
Ich betreibe diese Boxen über den optischen Eingang und über Bluetooth.
Das pairing mit Bluetooth geht sehr einfach und schnell, der Klang ist sehr gut.
Der Klang mit den optischen Eingang ist nochmals besser, schöner Bass ohne
zu dröhnen oder bollern, klare Höhen ohne überbetonung. Stimmen sind klar,
und im allgemeinen sehr räumlich und transparent.
Ich empfinde die FORTE A5 MK2 auch im direkten vergleich zur nuPro SP-200
als die angenehmere Wahl was dem Klang angeht.

Was ich mir allerdings wünschen würde, wäre ein 2 optischer Eingang,
dieser fehlt mir.
