My room serves as a pure home theater living room. The room is 7 meters long, 3.5 meters wide and 2.2 meters high. My setup is a 7.2.4 Atmos setup. The room is not large at 25m² and the shape is not ideal, but thanks to acoustic measures and DSP technology I got it under control very well.
WHAT WAS YOUR GOAL WHEN LOOKING FOR NEW SPEAKERS AND SUBWOOFERS?
I only look directly at manufacturer websites on the Internet and then I look for experiences in forums. I place less value on magazines and their testing.
WHERE DID YOU HEAR ABOUT US?
I first heard about Arendal on the internet about 5 years ago. The brand spoke to me directly. After some research in various forums, I only read good things, especially about the subwoofers. Everyone who has made a system change on Arendal is just raving about it.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE ARENDAL SOUND?
I was also looking for the best possible sound for my budget. It should definitely be a home theater speaker. Many manufacturers offer speakers for all situations, but very few manufacturers specialize in home theater. Arendal can be called a well-known manufacturer in the scene with a very good community. The first contact with preliminary questions to Arendal Support was more than positive and all of that made my decision easy.
YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCTS?
I went straight from a 3-way floorstanding speaker to the Arendal 1723 Monitor S THX. After the first few notes it was clear that this change was by no means a mistake. They play so dynamically, powerfully, confidently and much better than many 3-way system speakers. It was now clear to me that I would convert my entire system to Arendal. With each new speaker added, the acoustics got better and better. Everything now sounds like it was made from a single source.
