Uncompromised quality
The FORTE WIFI speakers offer a true hi-fi experience. With their advanced all-digital amplifier and a fully digital signal path with four separate channels for the tweeters and woofers, along with custom drivers with ultra-low distortion, these speakers deliver a sound experience rich in detail and fantastic dynamics to boot. The built-in amplifier delivers 4 x 80 clean, distortion-free watts, elevating the experience of both music and TV.
All-in-one: wireless stereo, tv sound, and turntables
With FORTE WIFI you can finally experience real stereo sound without compromising ease of use. The added Wi-Fi connectivity makes it easier than ever to stream your favourite tunes in the highest possible quality. Just connect the speakers to your Wi-Fi and you’re ready to rock. You can wake the speakers from standby, pick your favorite tunes and control the volume all directly from your device. No remote needed (even though the remote for these speakers is actually quite nice!)
For the movie buffs, the speakers also carry HDMI ARC support so you get real hi-fi sound from your TV. The speakers will automatically turn on and off with the TV and can be controlled by your TV remote. As if that weren't enough, there is also a phono input for your turntable, AUX and optical inputs for external sources, and a sub out for your subwoofer. They’re plug-and-play – all you need to do is find a power outlet and interconnect the speakers (power and speaker cables included).
Scandinavian heritage
Our speakers are made to be seen. Just like all our other products, the FORTE-series is designed and engineered in Denmark, which is honored in the speakers’ minimalist Scandinavian design. From the high-end lacquer finish to the magnetic front fabric grille – everything is meticulously chosen to ensure that these speakers don’t just add to your sound system, but also to your décor. Finally a speaker where the exterior is as stunning as its performance.

Cons
- Streaming teething issues reported — occasional Chromecast/connection dropouts and slower initial network handshakes.
- Slight forward/loudness tuning in the treble and midrange — vocals may sound more present and less airy than some rivals.
- Early loaner units showed low-level background noise; performance benefits noticeably from a better power cord.

Bass
89/100
Reviews repeatedly praise the A4's bass as a highlight for its compact size: 'SPL-stable bass' and 'perfectly integrated, well contoured' bass are cited. For a 4" woofer design it delivers crisp, well-controlled low end without boom, earning an excellent score for its form factor.
Mid
87/100
Tonally favors body and strong fundamentals; voices and guitars are described as sonorous and present. Review notes capture of lower-mid string fundamentals and a slightly forward vocal presence, indicating very good midrange body and clarity.
Treble
85/100
Treble retrieves subtle nuance and can be more forward than some competitors—reviewer notes more treble presence than some rivals and less airy ultimate refinement. Overall detailed and relatively clean, with only a modest lack of 'air'.
Soundstage Imaging
84/100
