    • Our take on the FORUS 5

    The FORUS 5 is a passive bookshelf speaker built around a 5-inch woofer and a silk-dome tweeter, styled in classic Scandinavian design. It needs an amplifier or receiver to drive it, so it suits listeners building a simple stereo or desktop system rather than plug-and-play buyers. The 5-inch woofer is a size up from the 4-inch drivers common on budget bookshelves, which generally means more low-end weight, while the silk dome keeps the top end smooth rather than bright. Buyers rate it highly, though with only a few dozen ratings the picture is still thin.

    Pros
    • 5-inch woofer gives more bass than typical 4-inch budget bookshelves
    • Silk-dome tweeter keeps treble smooth and easy to listen to
    • Passive design pairs with almost any stereo amp or receiver
    • Clean Scandinavian styling that fits living rooms
    • Strong owner ratings so far
    Cons
    • Needs a separate amplifier, so it is not a standalone system
    • No built-in Bluetooth, streaming or volume control
    • Bass output is modest for larger rooms
    • Few reviews so far, so long-term reliability is unproven

    Questions and answers

    Do the FORUS 5 speakers need an amplifier?
    Yes. They are passive speakers with no built-in amplification, so you need a stereo amp or receiver to drive them.
    Can I use them with a turntable?
    Only through a phono stage or a receiver with a phono input, since the speakers have no inputs of their own.
    How much bass do they produce?
    The 5-inch woofer gives solid bass for a bookshelf speaker, but it will not pressurize a large room. A subwoofer can fill in the lowest notes.
    Are they good for a desktop setup?
    Yes, if you have a small amp. Their size and smooth treble suit near-field listening at a desk.
    What is in the box?
    A pair of passive speakers. Speaker wire and an amplifier are not included, so plan for both.
    How do they compare with 4-inch bookshelf speakers?
    The larger 5-inch woofer generally gives deeper bass and more output, while the silk tweeter keeps the highs relaxed.
    Where is the FORUS 5 cheapest?
    At Argon Audio, for $287.08, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the FORUS 5?
    Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 57 ratings.
