MartinLogan Forte Wireless Streaming Amplifier

"Almost Too Good to Be True"

Boasting 200 Watts peak of powerful class-D amplification, MartinLogan's Forte wireless integrated amplifier streams audio to traditional speakers, no matter the brand. Forte offers wireless streaming via DTS Play-Fi and Apple AirPlay and enhances performance with ARC (Anthem Room Correction). It includes analog connections, too.

Your personal digital audio library, and your favorite online audio services, are available, wirelessly, anywhere in your home, at the touch of a button, at a level of quality that no other streaming loudspeaker system can match.

"The MartinLogan Forte amp has packaged a powerful wireless streaming amp with advanced ARC room correction in a small affordable unit that is almost too good to be true," notes Francisco Licon in a review for Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity.

"This is an extremely competent streamer and amplifier combo in a small, discreet package," reports Guido Gabriele, iLounge.com.

If you already enjoy a pair of MartinLogan loudspeakers you can use the Forte Wireless Amplifier to power and stream audio directly to them at the same time.

The Forte Wireless Amplifier also features an Ethernet connection, for whole home networking up to 256 zones! When you experience it, you will agree: high quality, network adaptable DTS Play-Fi streaming technology is the perfect high performance match for your speakers and perfectly complements high performance MartinLogan speakers.
