HOW IS YOUR ROOM SET UP?

My 2 channel setup is in my living room and primarily used for music. My room has high ceilings and openings which restrict speaker placement and make bass challenging.

My room is more of a multipurpose living space that opens up to my kitchen area. Room size is approx. 40’ x 27’ with 23’ high ceilings.

WHAT WAS YOUR GOAL WHEN LOOKING FOR NEW SPEAKERS AND SUBWOOFERS?

When searching for a new speaker, I wanted a speaker that could easily fill my space, a company that will stand behind the product with phenomenal sound quality but not breaking the bank. The review for the 1723 Towers from iiwi and other reviewers sealed the deal for me.

WHERE DID YOU HEAR ABOUT US?

Arendal was first recommended by a friend and then I started watching different reviews on the 1723.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE ARENDAL SOUND?

As a music enthusiast, I wanted a system that would provide me with reference level experience at an affordable price. The 1723 ticked all the right boxes. Warranty and access to Arendal sound team for questions were also considered and since having my speakers I have received support on speaker placement. I can say from personal experience that the after sale support is fantastic.

YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCTS?

Arendal sound has been a major improvement in my audio setup. The sound quality is significantly better than the old system. The details and bass quality is phenomenal.

The size of the tower 8, I initially thought this would be very bulky and odd looking in my living room but to my surprise it looks gorgeous.

Due to the open space my previous speakers could not pressurize the room which was the very first thing I noticed about the Arendals. The bass output was significantly more than my previous speakers. These speakers made my entire play list come to life. The articulate reproduction of the instruments was more than what I could have ever imagined. The sound of the guitars and even wind instrument came across as though I was at a live concert. I recently visited Digital Don and listened to his 1723 set up and now realized there is even more that my speaker has to offer than I realized. The ability to play very loud without any distortion, and even at low volume, it does not miss a beat. This just tickles my soul knowing that the capabilities of the 1723 is truly much more than I had thought especially at this price point. This will be staying with me for a very long time.

WHAT ELSE DOES YOUR SYSTEM CONSIST OF?

Amplifier: Musical Fidelity M8xi
Source devices: Magna Mano Ultra MK3.5 Farad - streamer/transport (using Ricable Supreme HDMI)
Other: Denafrips Pontus II DAC; Zavfino speaker cables and interconnect

HOW HAPPY ARE YOU WITH ARENDAL SOUND PRODUCTS?

I’m very satisfied with my Arendals. The speakers are very well built and the sound quality is phenomenal. I just need to add the subwoofer to complete the set up and I will be in music heaven.
