HOW IS YOUR ROOM SET UP?

I’m actually running 2 systems in one room. I have my home theater and 2-channel mixed together. My room is approximately 12×2 with 8′ ceiling, smaller than I’d like, as it’s currently my living room. Hopefully I will have a dedicated room shortly. Music and movies: best of both worlds.

What was your goal when looking for new speakers and subwoofers?

My previous speakers were Klipsch RF7 III; they’re are great for what they are: very dynamic, fun speaker. However, I wanted to take that next step into higher quality sound. I reviewed several speaker companies through reviews and research. I set out to find a well-built speaker that could be full range. Clarity and sound stage was important, as well as a true 3-way speaker.

WHERE DID YOU HEAR ABOUT US?

I first discovered Arendal speakers a couple of years ago on YouTube. Such channels as Audioholics, Jay Iyagi, and Youthman. I would listen to how they would describe the quality and detail that went into these products, and that really sparked my interest.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE ARENDAL SOUND?

Ultimately, what made me choose Arendal 1528 bookshelf speakers was how it checked every box I could think of. To me, it was easy and, in my opinion, the perfect speaker. No stone unturned when Arendal created these speakers. Build quality, attention to detail, and an absolutely amazing sound married together in perfect harmony.

YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCTS?

From the packaging to the setup and to my ears was an amazing experience. Can’t say build quality and attention to detail enough times. This is a company that takes pride in what they do.

Listening impression right off the bat was nothing short of thrilling for me. I sat there amazed at what I was hearing. I started with my favorite tracks, listening intently; I couldn’t help but smile. The details and clarity quite honestly blew me away! I was hearing things I haven’t heard before. Everything stood out to me; highs, mids, and bass were nothing short of incredible. I immediately wanted to hear how everything sounded in my Playlist.

I was literally so impressed. If I had to pick one and what surprised me the most would probably be the bass. Tight, controlled, and very present.

WHAT ELSE DOES YOUR SYSTEM CONSIST OF?

HOW HAPPY ARE YOU WITH ARENDAL SOUND PRODUCTS?

I’m beyond happy with my new Arendal 1528 speakers. I’ve waited years for a speaker of this quality. In fact, 50 years. This is a birthday present to myself for my 50th birthday!!! So I knew whatever I was going to get was going to have to be special, and these speakers are the epitome of exactly that special. Nothing short of amazing. As much as Arendal took pride in creating these, I will take as much pride in owning them.
