If you've been searching for active bookshelf speakers with HDMI ARC, powered floorstanders that double as a hi-fi system, or a plug-and-play turntable for your vinyl collection — Argon Audio deserves your full attention. The Danish brand has built a loyal following across Europe and Asia for delivering Scandinavian-designed, audiophile-quality audio at prices that make traditional separates look overengineered and overpriced.
At 8mm.in, we are proud to be one of India's authorised points of access for Argon Audio's full speaker and turntable range — from entry-level bookshelf speakers to room-commanding floorstanders and elegant belt-drive turntables. This guide covers every model in our catalogue, helps you understand the differences between the Forte, Fenris and TT series, and points you to the right product for your room, budget and lifestyle.
Why Argon Audio? The Short Answer
Most active speakers at this price bracket force a compromise: you get decent Bluetooth connectivity but mediocre sound, or good sound but outdated inputs. Argon Audio refuses that trade-off.
• Fully digital amplification with separate channels for tweeters and woofers
• HDMI ARC input — connect directly to your TV without a soundbar
• Built-in phono preamp — plug any MM turntable in without extra gear
• Wi-Fi, aptX HD Bluetooth, optical, and line-in on select models
• Designed and engineered in Denmark — clean, modern aesthetics that suit Indian interiors
• Award-winning reviews across Europe; value-for-money that consistently beats the price point
Now, let's look at every model individually.
The Argon Audio Fenris Series — Compact, Versatile, Feature-Packed
The Fenris line sits at the entry and mid point of Argon's active speaker range. Don't let 'entry-level' fool you — these speakers have received near-universal praise from European reviewers for punching well above their size and price.
Argon Audio Fenris A4 — Bookshelf Speaker with HDMI ARC (Pair)
The Argon Audio Fenris A4 is a super-compact standmount speaker with a 4-inch midwoofer and ¾-inch tweeter, housed in a beautifully finished cabinet with rounded edges and metal trim rings. All electronics live in the left speaker, with a full input panel on the rear — HDMI ARC, optical digital, analogue RCA, and a built-in phono stage for turntables.
What makes the Fenris A4 special is how it handles nearfield listening. European reviewers noted bass performance that defied its size, clever tuning for small-to-medium rooms, and treble clarity that matched its larger Forte siblings. The physical volume knob doubles as an input selector — a thoughtful touch when your remote has wandered into the sofa.
• Driver: 4" midwoofer + ¾" tweeter
• Amplification: Fully digital, active crossover
• Inputs: HDMI ARC, Optical, RCA, Phono (MM), Bluetooth aptX HD
• Unique feature: Stereo Pre Out — use with a subwoofer or external amp
• Best for: Desks, small rooms, TV audio replacement for soundbars
Argon Audio Fenris A5 — Bookshelf Speaker with HDMI ARC (Pair)
Step up to the Argon Audio Fenris A5 for more raw power and a slightly larger 5-inch woofer. The connectivity and feature set mirrors the A4, but the A5 moves more air — making it better suited for medium-sized rooms or listeners who prefer a fuller, weightier sound. Its resolution was described by reviewers as on par with the larger Forte models, which is a remarkable achievement for a compact speaker.
• Driver: 5" midwoofer + tweeter
• Inputs: HDMI ARC, Optical, RCA, Phono (MM), Bluetooth aptX HD
• Best for: Medium living rooms, bedroom hi-fi, TV + music all-in-one
Argon Audio Fenris A55 — Powered Floor Standing Speaker (Pair)
When the Fenris bookshelf form factor isn't enough, the Argon Audio Fenris A55 brings Fenris-series DNA into a full floorstander format. With dual woofers in a taller cabinet, the A55 fills large rooms with the same precise, digitally amplified sound that the compact Fenris models are known for — now with the scale and bass extension that only a floorstander can deliver.
• Format: Active floorstanding speaker pair
• Inputs: HDMI ARC, Optical, RCA, Phono (MM), Bluetooth
• Best for: Large living rooms, open-plan spaces, dedicated stereo listening
The Argon Audio Forte Series — The Gold Standard of Active Speakers
The Forte range is Argon Audio's flagship active speaker lineup. Every model in the MK2 generation uses a fully digital amplifier with four separate channels — dedicated amplification for each tweeter and woofer — ensuring zero noise, no signal path loss, and upsampling of low-resolution sources to 32-bit/96 kHz.
Argon Audio Forte A4 WiFi — Bookshelf Speaker with HDMI ARC (Pair)
The Argon Audio Forte A4 WiFi adds built-in Wi-Fi to the Forte A4 platform, enabling direct streaming from Spotify, Tidal, and other services without Bluetooth dependency. For listeners who want the cleanest wireless connection possible — and whose router is in the same room — this is the model to choose.
• Driver: 4" midwoofer + tweeter
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi streaming + HDMI ARC + Optical + RCA + Phono + Bluetooth aptX HD
• Best for: Music-first setups, streaming households, TV audio upgrade
Argon Audio Forte A5 WiFi — Bookshelf Speaker with HDMI ARC (Pair)
The Argon Audio Forte A5 WiFi is the sweet spot of the entire Argon Audio range — a 5-inch bookshelf speaker with Wi-Fi, HDMI ARC, and fully digital four-channel amplification. Richer Sounds described it as 'excellently specced, well built, attractive — and it doesn't half sound great to boot.' It sits above the Fenris A4 and A5 in overall sound quality, and plays both deeper and louder in medium-to-large rooms.
• Driver: 5" midwoofer + tweeter
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi + HDMI ARC + Optical + RCA + Phono + aptX HD Bluetooth
• Best for: Living room stereo, TV audio, vinyl + streaming combo setups
Argon Audio Forte A5 MK2 — Bookshelf Speaker with HDMI ARC (Pair)
The Argon Audio Forte A5 MK2 represents the latest generation of the Forte A5. The MK2 update brought the critical addition of HDMI ARC to the platform along with custom drivers tuned for ultra-low distortion. Reviewers described it as 'sonically neutral and precisely tuned — ideal for serious hi-fi enthusiasts' and noted that it serves equally well as a TV speaker and a music system.
• Driver: 5" custom midwoofer + tweeter
• Amplification: Fully digital 4-channel Class D, all sources upsampled to 32-bit/96 kHz
• Inputs: HDMI ARC, Optical, RCA, Phono (MM), Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD
• Best for: Audiophile bookshelf setups, TV audio, vinyl playback
Argon Audio Forte A4 MK2 — Bookshelf Speaker with HDMI ARC (Pair)
The Argon Audio Forte A4 MK2 delivers the MK2 generation's digital precision in the compact A4 (4-inch) form factor. It earned praise for 'exceptional sound quality — powerful, great depth, and very clear regardless of music genre.' German reviewers called it 'an elegant mini sound furniture piece that reflects its Scandinavian origin.' For desk setups or small rooms where the A5 would overpower, this is the ideal choice.
• Driver: 4" custom midwoofer + tweeter
• Amplification: Fully digital 4-channel, 32-bit/96 kHz upsampling
• Inputs: HDMI ARC, Optical, RCA, Phono (MM), Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD
• Best for: Compact spaces, desktop audio, TV sideboard installations
Argon Audio Forte A55 WiFi — Floor Standing Speaker with HDMI ARC (Pair)
The Argon Audio Forte A55 WiFi is the largest speaker in the Forte lineup — a full-sized active floorstander with Wi-Fi built in. Designed for quality-conscious audiophiles who want the best room-filling sound in the Forte series with the ease of wireless streaming, this model targets large rooms with tall ceilings where you simply want the absolute best, without running a separate network streamer.
• Driver: Dual 5" woofers + tweeter
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi streaming + HDMI ARC + Optical + RCA + Phono + Bluetooth aptX HD
• Best for: Large living rooms, audiophile setups, open-plan apartments
Argon Audio Forte A55 MK2 — Floor Standing Speaker with HDMI ARC (Pair)

Dual 5-inch woofers, a larger cabinet, and a fully digital 4 × 80 W Class D amplifier combine to deliver commanding, room-filling sound with rich detail and deep, tight bass. HDMI ARC lets you connect directly to your TV, while Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD covers wireless streaming. High-resolution audio up to 24-bit/96 kHz is fully supported — no downsampling, no compromise.

The Argon Audio Turntable Series — Analog Made Effortless
Argon Audio's turntable lineup is built around a simple philosophy: vinyl should be accessible, not intimidating. Both the TT MK2 and TT-3 are belt-drive designs with factory-mounted cartridges and built-in RIAA preamps — meaning you connect them directly to any active speaker without a separate phono stage.
Argon Audio TT MK2 — Manual Belt Drive Turntable (Black)
The Argon Audio TT MK2 is the evolution of Argon's most loved turntable. It ships with an Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge pre-mounted, an upgraded motor for precise rotation, and a built-in RIAA preamp. The sub-platter design reduces resonance and improves speed consistency — all meaningful upgrades for anyone who has experienced the frustration of pitch-unstable vinyl playback. Just plug it into any active speaker and start listening.
• Drive: Manual belt drive
• Speeds: 33 / 45 RPM
• Cartridge: Audio-Technica AT3600L (pre-mounted)
• Preamp: Built-in RIAA — no external phono stage needed
• Best for: Vinyl beginners, casual listeners, and anyone pairing with Argon active speakers
Argon Audio TT-3 — Manual Belt Drive Turntable (Black)
The Argon Audio TT-3 steps up the TT lineup with a more refined mechanical platform, designed for listeners who want a longer-term turntable investment. Like the TT MK2, it's a plug-and-play experience — but with improved build quality and aesthetics that reward those who take their vinyl more seriously. Also available as a demo unit at an exceptional price on 8mm.in.
• Drive: Manual belt drive
• Speeds: 33 / 45 RPM
• Preamp: Built-in RIAA
• Best for: Vinyl enthusiasts upgrading from entry-level decks, experienced listeners

How to Choose the Right Argon Audio Product
You want to replace your soundbar
Any Argon speaker with HDMI ARC will do this job better than most soundbars in the same price bracket — and you'll get stereo music playback as a bonus. Start with the Fenris A4 or Forte A4 MK2 for smaller TVs and rooms, or the Forte A5 MK2 for larger screens.
You want a vinyl + streaming setup
The TT MK2 + Fenris A4 package is your fastest path. Or buy a TT MK2 and pair it with any Forte or Fenris speaker with a phono input.
You want the best possible sound and Wi-Fi convenience
Look at the Forte A5 WiFi for bookshelf form factor, or the Forte A55 WiFi if you want floorstanders with wireless streaming built in.
You want no-compromise floorstanders
The Forte A55 MK2 is Argon's finest active speaker — 4 × 80 W, dual woofers, 24-bit/96 kHz hi-res audio, and every input you could ask for.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do Argon Audio speakers need a separate amplifier?
No. All Forte and Fenris speakers are active — amplifiers are built in. Just plug in your source (TV via HDMI ARC, turntable, phone via Bluetooth) and they are ready to use.
Can I connect my TV directly to Argon Audio speakers?
Yes. All Forte and Fenris models include an HDMI ARC input. Connect an HDMI cable from the ARC port on your TV to the speaker, and you control volume with your TV remote. This makes them a direct upgrade over any soundbar at a similar price.
Do I need a separate phono preamp for my turntable?
No. Every Forte and Fenris speaker includes a built-in MM phono preamp. The Argon TT MK2 and TT-3 turntables also have built-in RIAA preamps — so you can connect them to any active speaker or amplifier without any extra equipment.
What is the difference between the Fenris and Forte series?
The Forte series uses a four-channel fully digital amplifier (separate amps for each driver), custom ultra-low-distortion drivers, and upsamples all audio to 32-bit/96 kHz. The Fenris series uses standard digital amplification and is tuned for smaller rooms and more budget-conscious buyers. Both series share the same connectivity (HDMI ARC, phono, optical, RCA, Bluetooth).
What is the difference between the WiFi and MK2 models?
The WiFi variants (Forte A4 WiFi, A5 WiFi, A55 WiFi) add built-in Wi-Fi for direct streaming from Spotify, Tidal, etc. The MK2 variants (Forte A4 MK2, A5 MK2, A55 MK2) are the updated generation with custom drivers and HDMI ARC — but without Wi-Fi. If wireless streaming convenience matters, go WiFi. If you stream via Bluetooth and want the latest driver technology, go MK2.
Which Argon Audio speaker is best for a large living room in India?
For a large living room, we recommend the Argon Audio Forte A55 MK2 or the Forte A55 WiFi. The dual woofers, 4 × 80 W amplification, and large cabinet are specifically engineered to fill big, open spaces.
Are Argon Audio turntables good for beginners?
Absolutely. The TT MK2 comes with a pre-mounted cartridge and built-in preamp — there is nothing to set up. Take it out of the box, connect it to any active speaker, and you're playing records within minutes. The complete TT MK2 + Fenris A4 bundle is especially recommended for first-time vinyl buyers.
Can I use Argon Audio speakers on a desk or bookshelf?
Yes. The Fenris A4, Fenris A5, Forte A4, and Forte A5 models (both WiFi and MK2) are compact enough for bookshelf or desk placement. The Fenris A4 is particularly well-suited for nearfield desktop listening thanks to its size-to-bass ratio and stereo Pre Out.
