{"product_id":"argon-audio-forus-5-regallautsprecher-schwarz","title":"Argon Audio Forus 5 Bookshelf Speaker, Black (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Argon Audio Forus 5 is a passive 2-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.25-inch mid-woofer, a 1-inch soft dome tweeter and a rear bass reflex port, playing on an amplifier of your choice. In Black, it's the most understated of the three finishes: a pair that nearly disappears on a shelf and still fills the whole room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Forus 5?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5.25-inch cone and the 1-inch tweeter with neodymium magnet hand over to each other at 2,700 Hz. This comparatively low crossover point is why voices come from one driver instead of splitting across two – you can hear it on every female vocalist. Lower down, the rear bass reflex port supports the fundamental tone down to 55 Hz. In small to medium rooms, that's enough without a subwoofer, based on experience. At 86 dB into 4 ohms, the Forus 5 is neither fussy nor an amplifier hog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo speakers, magnetically attached front grilles, rubber feet – and free choice of amplification. Integrated amplifier, stereo receiver, or a classic Argon SA1: the Forus 5 works with anything that has gold-plated screw terminals. An integrated wall mount sits on the back in case the shelf gets too crowded. And if you ever want more low bass, you simply add a subwoofer over the amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Forus 5 suited for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: if you want streaming and a power amp built into the speaker, the active Argon models are the better fit – the Forus 5 is passive, full stop. If you want to fill a large, open living space, go for a floorstander. And if you push it flush against the wall, you sacrifice clean bass, because the port fires backward: ten centimetres of air behind it is well worth having. For everyone else, it's one of the most sensible entry points into real stereo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Forus 5 is proof that honest stereo sound isn't a matter of size. The gap to the smaller Forus 4 isn't marketing, it's verifiable: 5.25 instead of 4 inches of cone area, 55 instead of 60 Hz lower cutoff, a 1-inch instead of a 0.75-inch tweeter. You can hear it. Which amplifier suits it, how far from the wall it should sit, with or without a subwoofer – just ask us.

The Forus 5 is a passive speaker and needs an amplifier or receiver. That's intentional: it lets you determine sound character and power yourself. At 86 dB sensitivity into 4 ohms, it works just as well with small integrated amps as with more powerful compact-class units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow far from the wall does the Forus 5 need to stand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass reflex port sits on the back, so it needs air behind it. Around ten centimetres of clearance keeps the fundamental tone dry and defined. Placed closer, the bass gets fuller and, arguably, a bit thick – that can usually be balanced out through placement and toe-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sets the Forus 5 apart from the smaller Forus 4?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Forus 5 has a 5.25-inch mid-woofer instead of 4 inches, a 1-inch tweeter instead of 0.75 inches, and reaches deeper at 55 Hz versus the Forus 4's 60 Hz. It therefore fills larger rooms. The Forus 4 remains the choice for small rooms and desktops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Forus 5 delivered individually or as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a pair. You get two speakers including magnetic front grilles and rubber feet – so one order is enough for a stereo setup. If you want to expand toward home cinema later, the Center and wall models from the same Forus family match tonally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Forus 5 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the amplifier decides at least as much about the sound as the speaker – and we work out exactly that combination with you. Our experienced team advises honestly rather than pushing sales, helps with placement and expansion, and stays reachable with our own technician even after the purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA passive speaker wants to be driven: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/alle-verstaerker\"\u003eamplifiers\u003c\/a\u003e in a suitable size, a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/lautsprecher-staender\"\u003espeaker stand\u003c\/a\u003e for free-standing placement, proper \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kabel\"\u003ecable\u003c\/a\u003e in between – or a browse through the whole \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/argon-audio\"\u003eArgon Audio world\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Argon Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52989481812304,"sku":null,"price":348.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/3262\/8048\/files\/argon-audio-forus-5-regallautsprecher-schwarz-stereopaar.jpg?v=1785428461","url":"https:\/\/hdzuerisee.ch\/en\/products\/argon-audio-forus-5-regallautsprecher-schwarz","provider":"HD Zürisee AG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
