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.
Our Active Speakers Crush the Competition – Here’s Why
Many active speakers in this price range aren’t truly active as far as we’re concerned. This is because they use outdated passive crossovers, similar to those found in standard passive speakers. Both our FORTE and FENRIS speakers, on the other hand, feature active crossovers. These are built directly into our custom amplifiers, with separate channels of amplification for the tweeter and woofer.
What does that mean? Well, to put it simply, a passive crossover is triggered after the amplifier, while an active crossover is triggered before. The active crossover eliminates any unwanted frequencies before they reach the amplifier, allowing the amplifier to focus solely on the desired frequencies. This results in a more dynamic and powerful output, even from smaller speakers. Active crossovers also offer greater precision and allow us to fine-tune the sound more effectively. Always look for this feature when choosing your next active speakers!

Argon Audio TT MK2 Turntable - Black
The TT MK2 is the ultimate value-for-money turntable, delivering an exceptional plug-and-play experience with effortless usability, superb design, and sound quality that rivals models three times its cost. With a built-in RIAA preamp, it’s effortlessly compatible with any amplifier or active speakers, making it the perfect entry point into the world of vinyl.
The best just got better
Our bestselling TT has (re)introduced thousands of music enthusiasts to the world of vinyl, and now, with the TT MK2, we’ve elevated the experience even further. The upgraded MK2 features a superior motor with easy access to precise speed adjustment, a sturdier platter based on a sub-platter design, along with a pre-mounted Audio-Technica MM-pickup and built-in RIAA. Simply put, the TT MK2 delivers an incredible sound experience and build quality that’s almost impossible to believe at this price point.
Convenience is king
The TT MK2 is not only a looker, it’s also a really convenient choice. Think setting up turntables is difficult? Think again. With the TT MK2, setup only takes a couple of minutes. And with the built-in RIAA amplification, connection to your favourite speakers is a breeze. You can easily switch speeds between 33 and 45 RPM with the turn of a dial. We've even included a hole at the bottom to allow for quick and easy motor speed adjustments if you really want to get technical.
The charm of vinyl
Yes, your grandpa probably refers to the times of old with a bit too much enthusiasm. But if there’s one thing his generation did nail, it’s their choice of physical media. CDs, cassette tapes, weird torrented MP3 files with a guy blow-drying his hair in the background – they all came and went – vinyl stayed.
That’s because there’s a charm to the ridiculously large discs, the detailed placement of the needle, and the lack of an all-knowing playlist AI shuffling your music, that you just can’t find anywhere else today. Investing in a record player really is investing in your music experiences.
