It could be argued by many that the technology of yesteryear is best for enjoying classic mediums like [vinyl records](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beosystem-3000c), so the Klipsch Forte III Floor Standing Speakers are an example of how it's being brought back.

Featuring [titanium compression drivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klipsch-speakers) that are reported to provide a powerful yet smooth response, the speakers are available in a number of wood options including cherry, distressed oak, black ash and walnut.

The Klipsch Forte III Floor Standing Speakers are priced at $3,600 a pair and are intended to be placed in the home in order to upgrade your listening experience as well as the style within your space. This is thanks to the [retro aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d32) that make your space look more like a scene out of the 70s.
