This question pops up quite a bit. The main difference between these speakers are how deep they play and the amount of bass they can convey. If you are going to have a setup without subwoofer(s) in it, then the larger Tower speaker is the way to go, Monitor will be a […] →
If you for any reason need the dimensions between the mounting holes, for example for making any type of custom bracket, then here are all the dimensions you need. The depth of the nuts in the cabinet is 11.85mm. They use M6 screws. →
In general, we recommend our reference 1723 series for rooms at least 30 square meters or 323 square feet in size, with an average ceiling height. Compared to the 1961 and 1723 S series, you gain higher fidelity in the upper mid-bass, increased dynamics, and an overall more engaging audio experience. But as always, this […] →
Here you can see the width of the entire spike bar as well as the distance between each spike itself. →
Our 1723 Stand can be filled to get a low center of gravity and minimize even the lowest resonances. The internal volume of the 1723 Stand is approximately 36 liters Use dry sand, like quartz sand, or specialized filler like this Fill to 1/2 or 3/4, that is more than enough →
The distance between the baffle of all 1723 speakers and the front of the grille is 3.27 cm as you can see from the image below. 1723 Tower dimensions 1723 Monitor/Center dimensions 1723 Surround dimensions →
The 1723 series towers have the added flexibility of different plug combinations in the ports. With all three 3 ports open, maximum bass output is guaranteed. With two ports open, you will get slightly less output in the bass and similar depth as 3 ports open. With one port open you get a little less […] →
Here are some dimensional drawings of the 1723 Tower THX speaker with the spike kit mounted. The length of the Spike bar is 37,5cm. The distance between the centre of the spike bars is 31,98cm. The distance from front and back of cabinet to the spike bar is 2,7495cm. The distance […] →
The height from the bottom of the cabinet to the tweeter is 83,2cm as you can see on the image below. With spikes kit mounted, the height increases to 87,3cm. →
Every now and then we get questions on how high the tweeter is placed on our speakers. Here is a drawing that shows the tweeter height from the bottom of the speaker. It is 28,5cm or 11,2 inches for our 1723 Bookshelf S THX speaker. We recommend having the speaker placed so that the tweeter […] →
Every now and then we get questions on how high the tweeter is placed on our speakers, so it is easier to plan the positioning. Here is a drawing that shows the tweeter height from the bottom of the speaker. It is 34,2cm or 13.5 inches for our 1723 Surround THX speaker. →
1723 WAVEGUIDE TWEETER The heart of all Arendal speakers, our Tweeter utilizes a 28mm synthetic soft dome with custom designed, matching waveguide. The heart of all Arendal speakers, our Tweeter utilizes a 28mm synthetic soft dome with the custom-designed, matching waveguide. The soft dome itself is sourced from the high-end stable of Dr. Kurt Mueller. […] →
Our 1723 Monitor THX is symmetrical, so the tweeter is directly in the center of the speaker.That means the tweeter height is 31,75cm or 12.5 inches. →
The 1723 Tower features a completely custom built 2.5 way lineup of bass drivers, mid bass drivers and waveguide tweeter you cannot find anywhere else. Our HDF cabinets, thick crossover PCBs and ancillary parts, feature engineering detail you will not find at anything like the price. You will find no plastic parts, even if we […] →
Featuring the same uncompromising approach we used to create the 1723 Tower, the 1723 Monitor was developed for smaller spaces and provide the perfect sonic partner to the matching 1723 Center. The 1723 Monitor features a completely custom built 2-way lineup of mid-bass drivers and a waveguide tweeter you cannot find anywhere else. →
In developing the 1723 Series, part of the reason for using a waveguided tweeter was that it offered controlled dispersion, plus a lower crossover point than a traditional tweeter flat mounted on a baffle. Lowering the crossover point, removed concerns about turning the 1723 Monitor on it’s side for use in the horizontal format under […] →
In starting with a statement product like the The 1723 Tower and 1723 Monitor, we set ourselves a challenge in designing a matching surround speaker, that could keep up with the capabilities of our front loudspeakers. Using the same 8” midbass driver and waveguide tweeter on the front baffle as used throughout the 1723 Series, […] →
Here are the mounting dimensions of our 1723 Center speaker. We only recommend using 2 of our own mounting brackets and mounting the speaker flat with it leaning against the back wall. We do not recommend any tilt or swivel mounts as the thread inserts are not made to sustain those much higher forces. If […] →
Here are the mounting dimensions of our 1723 Monitor speaker. We only recommend using 2 of our own mounting brackets and mounting the speaker flat with it leaning against the back wall. We do not recommend any tilt or swivel mounts as the thread inserts are not made to sustain those much higher forces. If […] →
Rock solid HDF cabinets Higher density and naturally better damped than MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), using HDF (High Density Fiberboard) results in a sonically inert cabinet. HDF was also chosen because it can be machined much more precisely than MDF, which is especially important for precision critical areas like the two-part HDF & Aluminum waveguide. […] →
The heart of all Arendal speakers, our Tweeter utilizes a 28mm synthetic soft dome with custom custom-designed, matching waveguide. The soft dome itself is sourced from the high-end stable of Dr. Kurt Mueller. It is very lightweight, totally pistonic to ultra-high frequencies, optimally damped, produced to exceedingly tight tolerances and specifically chosen for its sweet […] →
The 6.5” and 8” woofers in the 1723 series are built upon the same core fundamentals as the 13.8” subwoofer, but with application-specific details changed. The woofer cones do not have the glass fiber reinforcement of the 13.8” as it is already stiff enough and the bass material’s inherent self-damping with its proprietary cone treatment […] →
Not to be forgotten, the connection point of each speaker offers potential pitfalls for installation woes and signal degradations. Each binding post is made from copper (not brass or other lower conductivity metals), then CNC machined into shape. After the machining process is completed, each component is polished to ensure burr-free, smooth function and clean […] →
Supplied with The Tower, The Spike kit is there to ensure a firm stable mounting of your loudspeaker, with the ability to adjust tilt to suit listening seat height and uneven floors. We recommend optimization of speaker positioning (see How to Setup Loudspeakers in this handbook) prior to fitting the spikes to prevent damaging floors […] →
The 1723 Tower depth at the top is 40.0 cm. However, due to a slight backward tilt, the total depth is a bit bigger at 45.00cm. →
The spikes bolt size for the 1723 Towers is M6. If you need further information about how to install the spikes kit, please have a look at this link: Spikes Kit Installation Guide. →
I am not getting any sound from my tweeter! This is a problem we see from time to time. Luckily, the solution tends to be pretty simple: More often than not, we see that the issue is related to the binding post jumpers, the nuts, or a combination of the two. The picture above shows […] →
I see your tower speakers use a 2.5-way crossover. What does that mean? This is a question we get from time to time, and it might sound a little strange: Especially when you see two crossover points in the spec sheet. Before we explain how our 2.5-way crossover works, and why we chose this route, […] →
