FORUS 5

Q: Which Argon Audio amplifier should I choose for these speakers?

The FORUS 5 is compatible with any Argon Audio stereo amplifier (SA1 MK2 or SA2) designed to drive passive speakers. The best choice depends on your preferred features, listening habits, and the sources you plan to connect. When choosing an amplifier, consider whether you need: Bluetooth for wireless music streaming HDMI ARC for TV audio- A phono input for a turntable Digital inputs for devices such as streamers, TVs, or CD players Additional power for larger rooms or higher listening volumes FORUS 5 is easy to drive and works well with a wide range of amplifiers, making it easy to build a system that matches your needs and budget.

Q: Can I connect a turntable directly to these speakers?

No. FORUS 5 is a passive speaker and does not have a built-in amplifier, so a turntable cannot be connected directly to it. Unlike our active speaker series (FENRIS, FORTE, and STUDIE 3) and our stereo amplifiers (SA1 MK2 and SA2), FORUS 5 does not feature RCA inputs, PHONO inputs, or any other source connections. To use a turntable with FORUS 5, you will need a stereo amplifier or AV receiver between the turntable and the speakers. If your turntable does not have a built-in phono preamp (RIAA), you will also need either an amplifier with a PHONO input or an external phono preamp.

Q: Can I use these speakers for home cinema (5.1 or more)?

Yes. FORUS 5 speakers can be used as part of a home cinema system, including 5.1, 7.1, and larger surround sound setups. Their larger cabinet and driver provide greater bass and output, making them an excellent choice for front channel duties. To use them for home cinema, you will need a compatible AV receiver (home cinema amplifier).

Q: How far should the speakers be placed from the wall?

As a starting point, we recommend placing FORUS 5 speakers 10–30 cm (4–12 inches) from the rear wall. Since they feature a larger woofer than FORUS 4, they may benefit from a little extra space if the bass sounds too strong in your room. Moving the speakers closer to the wall will increase bass output, while placing them further into the room can improve soundstage and overall balance.The ideal position depends on your room acoustics and listening preferences.

Q: Can I add a subwoofer to my setup?

Yes, but not directly to the speakers themselves. Since FORUS 5 is a passive speaker, the subwoofer must be connected to the amplifier or AV receiver powering the system. While FORUS 5 already delivers impressive bass performance, a subwoofer can extend the system&#39;s low-frequency capabilities even further, adding greater depth and impact to music, movies, and gaming.

Je ne suis ni audiophile ni fortuné ni capable de comparer avec des produits haut de gamme mais en tout cas le résultat me convient parfaitement. Associées en parallèle à une vieille paire d'enceintes bibliothèque Panasonic en 6 ohms le tout raccordé sur un SA1, j'obtiens une qualité sonore impressionnante, du détail, des basses riches et profondes, des aigües présentes sans en faire trop et des médiums chaleureux. J'attends avec impatience de pouvoir m'offrir un caisson de basse MALMÖ SUB 10. En conclusion je recommande vivement d'autant plus que le traitement de la commande a été irréprochable. Merci !

"So the FORUS 55, are I would say pretty cool and also pretty simple... They decided to take the more simpler approach on speakers, amplifiers, and active speakers. This means these speakers are very well tuned, very well audio out of their own body."

FAQ

Do I need an amplifier to use these speakers?

Yes. The FORUS 5 speakers are passive speakers, which means they do not have a built-in amplifier. Unlike active speakers, passive speakers require external amplification to produce sound.

To use the FORUS 5 speakers, you will need to connect them to an external amplifier with speaker cables. Once connected, you can then connect your music sources, such as a turntable, streamer, TV, or CD player, to the amplifier.

Which Argon Audio amplifier should I choose for these speakers?

The FORUS 5 is compatible with any Argon Audio stereo amplifier (SA1 MK2 or SA2) designed to drive passive speakers. The best choice depends on your preferred features, listening habits, and the sources you plan to connect.

When choosing an amplifier, consider whether you need:

Bluetooth for wireless music streaming
HDMI ARC for TV audio- A phono input for a turntable
Digital inputs for devices such as streamers, TVs, or CD players
Additional power for larger rooms or higher listening volumes

FORUS 5 is easy to drive and works well with a wide range of amplifiers, making it easy to build a system that matches your needs and budget.

What speaker cable should I use?

Any good-quality speaker cable will work well with any FORUS speakers. As a general guide:

Cables should be kept as sort as possible and of a smiliar lenght to each speaker.

BASIC 1 is already a perfectly good choice. If you're building a more ambitious system or want a premium cable, PRIME 1 is the natural upgrade. CLASSIC 1 is primarily about its thicker conductor, making it the better option for longer runs rather than a guaranteed sound quality upgrade.

How much amplifier power do these speakers require?

We intentionally avoid specifying the wattage of our speakers. The reason is that wattage doesn't provide a clear indication of compatibility with a specific amplifier. This is due to variations in how wattage is measured across different brands.

Moreover, even accurate wattage specifications don't necessarily reflect the quality of sound or the volume level of the speakers.

However, we do have specific recommendations: for the FORUS 5, amplifiers within the 40-100 W range are ideal. Our SA1 MK2 and SA2 amplifiers are matched to comfortably drive the FORUS range.

More power generally means more headroom and control, not just more volume, so it's rarely a problem to have some extra in reserve. For exact power handling and impedance figures for your specific model, check the product page or manual.

Can I connect a turntable directly to these speakers?

No. FORUS 5 is a passive speaker and does not have a built-in amplifier, so a turntable cannot be connected directly to it.

Unlike our active speaker series (FENRIS, FORTE, and STUDIE 3) and our stereo amplifiers (SA1 MK2 and SA2), FORUS 5 does not feature RCA inputs, PHONO inputs, or any other source connections.

To use a turntable with FORUS 5, you will need a stereo amplifier or AV receiver between the turntable and the speakers. If your turntable does not have a built-in phono preamp (RIAA), you will also need either an amplifier with a PHONO input or an external phono preamp.

Can I use these speakers for home cinema (5.1 or more)?

Yes. FORUS 5 speakers can be used as part of a home cinema system, including 5.1, 7.1, and larger surround sound setups.

Their larger cabinet and driver provide greater bass and output, making them an excellent choice for front channel duties. To use them for home cinema, you will need a compatible AV receiver (home cinema amplifier).

What is the difference between bookshelf and floorstanding speakers?

The main difference is size, bass performance, and output capability.

Bookshelf speakers are more compact and use a single woofer and tweeter. They are easier to place on furniture, stands, or shelves and are often a great choice for smaller to medium-sized rooms. While they deliver excellent sound quality, many listeners choose to pair them with a subwoofer for deeper bass.

Floorstanding speakers are larger and typically feature two woofers and a tweeter. The additional driver area and larger cabinet allow them to produce deeper bass, higher output levels, and a bigger, more effortless sound. They are often the preferred choice for larger rooms and listeners who want strong bass performance without adding a subwoofer.

Both speaker types can deliver outstanding sound quality. The best choice depends on your room size, available space, and listening preferences.

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.

How far should the speakers be placed from the wall?

As a starting point, we recommend placing FORUS 5 speakers 10–30 cm (4–12 inches) from the rear wall. Since they feature a larger woofer than FORUS 4, they may benefit from a little extra space if the bass sounds too strong in your room.

Moving the speakers closer to the wall will increase bass output, while placing them further into the room can improve soundstage and overall balance.The ideal position depends on your room acoustics and listening preferences.

Can I add a subwoofer to my setup?

Yes, but not directly to the speakers themselves. Since FORUS 5 is a passive speaker, the subwoofer must be connected to the amplifier or AV receiver powering the system.

While FORUS 5 already delivers impressive bass performance, a subwoofer can extend the system's low-frequency capabilities even further, adding greater depth and impact to music, movies, and gaming.
