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.
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.

By far the best set of headphones i’ve ever tried - great sound quality and absolutely amazing materials give both an enjoyable and comfortable experience!
I am mad about the slim line look/built of the amp.
I love the simple lay-out and placing of the controls and input selector.
The built-in DAC is of a high quality.
The MM phono stage is also of a high quality.
The sound reproduction of the amp is excellent.
does not matter if one uses the analogue input or the digital input, the amp gives a clear, clean, detailed, pleasant sound.
The Bass and Treble is at the "0"position.
This amp is not a power house, but it has enough power to give a enjoyable listening session. Even at low volumes, the sound is pretty good.
I will say, the amp delivers a pretty natural sound.
to the amp is connected, -- a pair of Q Acoustic 3050i loud speakers, QED XT 400 speaker cable, Chord Shawline RCA to RCA & digital coax cables, Isotek power cables & Isotek power filter.
this is a little, impressive amp.
I am not sorry that i bought it.
Very good noise cancelling. They're very light weight, so you can wear them for longer without getting tired. They're my favourite pair of headphones right now.
Really appreciated the different sizes of ear pieces and fins to get a secure fit. The app is easy to use and makes customisation a breeze. Sound quality is great.
