{"product_id":"argonaudiofortea55wifischwarz","title":"Argon Audio Forte A55 WiFi Floorstanding Speakers, Black (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Argon Audio Forte A55 WiFi is an active floorstanding speaker with built-in network streaming, needing no separate amplifier or streamer thanks to WiFi, HDMI ARC and a phono input. The matte black finish stays visually understated – the largest model in the Forte WiFi series looks surprisingly unobtrusive even in darker-furnished rooms. Two towers, one power cable, your complete system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Forte A55 WiFi?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cabinet houses two 5-inch woofers with a two-layer cone and a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter, driven by four fully digital Class D amplifiers totalling 4 × 80 watts, DSP and an active crossover. The comparison with its smaller sibling is telling: amplifier power and streaming tech are identical, the cabinet alone makes the difference. The A55 digs down to 35 Hz, has double the cone area, and stays composed exactly where a bookshelf speaker starts to strain. Anyone who assumes active all-in-one towers are inherently a compromise hasn't looked at the category in a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWireless streaming runs via AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Spotify Connect, with multiroom via DTS Play-Fi. Add HDMI ARC for the TV, an optical and an analogue RCA input, a phono MM input for the turntable, Bluetooth 4.2 for quick playback from your phone, and a sub-out in case a subwoofer joins later. The second tower connects via the included speaker cable, and everything is set up via the app. No paid subscription is needed for any of it – internet radio, vinyl and TV sound all play without one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Forte A55 WiFi suited to – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlainly put: at 85 centimetres tall and 26 kilos for the pair, the A55 is no shelf-dweller but a fully grown floorstander – for small rooms or a desk, that's simply too much speaker. If you need something more compact, get the Forte A5 WiFi with the same electronics. But if you want to fill a larger living room properly, wirelessly and without a zoo of devices, this gives you a complete system in two towers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Forte A55 WiFi is the \"whole system in the speaker\" idea at its largest scale: the same electronics as the smaller Forte WiFi models, but with markedly more low-end reach and more headroom on top.

You connect it to WiFi and play via AirPlay 2, Chromecast or Spotify Connect – without a separate amplifier, AV receiver or network player. TV, turntable and other sources connect directly to the active box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Forte A55 WiFi differ from the Forte A5 WiFi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe electronics are practically identical: both models run 4 × 80 watts, the same inputs and the same streaming services. The difference lies in the cabinet. The A55 is the floorstanding tower with two 5-inch woofers and depth down to 35 Hz, the A5 the compact bookshelf speaker with one woofer and 40 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Forte A55 WiFi in a multiroom setup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Via DTS Play-Fi, AirPlay 2 and Chromecast you integrate it into a wireless multiroom system and play across several rooms in sync or separately. Setup and grouping happen via the app on your phone or tablet – no extra network device needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Forte A55 WiFi come as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The A55 WiFi comes as a stereo pair: an active box with electronics and connections, plus the passive second box, connected via the included five-metre speaker cable. Power cable, remote control and magnetic front panels are included as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Forte A55 WiFi from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause an active streaming tower has to suit your room, your network and your sources – and that's exactly where our advice comes in.
