Behind every nickname in this forum there is a person that love music and/or cinema and who spend a lot of effort and time to try getting the best out of their system. It’ would be nice as a community to be able to associate the nicknames with our proud...
I’m sure others have thought of this but here’s my take. I would love to see clothing with the Arendal name/logo on them. It would be great to be able to proudly display the brand we own and are so passionate about (as well for advertising). Would also love to...
Hello! I would like to switch from an Alexa home to an Arendal home where I can have sound everywhere and maybe in different rooms. Any suggestions?
Hey guys, right now I am listening to Rammstein’s new album called “Zeit” on my 1723 S speakers (sounds great ☺️). From a “song-perspective” it unfortunately is a mediocre album, but from a production standpoint it is quite interesting. While not super-audiophile in nature, they used 3D-Sound as mentioned in...
Images says more than a 1000 words. Which one describes your listening preferences better? And why? 1. or 2.?
is there going to be a bigger subwoofer than the 1724 THX 2v? anyone?
Hello, I have a problem with the app, I have the Arendal Subwoofer 2V I use an iPhone 12pro and when I enter “setup” within the app it closes. Does it happen to anyone else? Could they correct the error? Greetings Ramón T.

What made you choose monitors over towers? Budget and back order aren’t an issue. Was it a room size issue? Do monitors sound as good as towers with more drivers? I know they aren’t as efficient. I’m currently in the process of upgrading my home theater and 2 channel. I...
Trully immersive surround experience with 1723 surround. First I bought 1723 surround s and after upgrade to bigger 1723 surround to match full 1723 5.1.
I’m trying to decide on an 11.2.4 setup, what’s the biggest deciding factor on choosing models, room size or physical speaker size, I’m getting 1 3 cherry and 2 5 cherry amps, so power isn’t an issue
Any chance of adding timbre matched in-wall and in-ceiling speakers to the lineup? Even better if they are THX certified. I think this would be beneficial to those who need to save on space or who like the aesthetics of having things in wall. Also would probably help round out...
As the title says. What is your cup of tea? If you like both, how is the divide? 50/50? 10/90? Personally, I spend more time listening to music than watching movies. I probably am skewed 70/30 music/movies.
I have a 1961 S Subwoofer which I am pleased with, but feel it would be improved greatly for me if the facility to assign presets to the different inputs could be added as a future firmware upgrade. My system has runs with a AV amp and an integrated stereo...
I have two 1961 s1 subwoofers in the front area of the room and already ordered a 1723 s1 subwoofer to improve multi-seating bass respose. I’m planning to place the 1723 subwoofer in the back. My room is 4.5×6.0x4.0m (WxLxH). Any suggestions for best subwoofer placement and integration between 1723...
Hey guys, I kind of feel there are not so many new movies released with better than average sound. Most of them are okay but lack, especially dynamics. They sound like they were mastered for your TV and soundbar and not for a great home-cinema experience. Basically all Marvel/Disney movies...
Just received a surprise package from our friends at Arendal.
I ordered the 1723 Center THX speaker and it is on backorder. I started looking for a foam noise dampening to put under the center channel to refuge vibrations and sound bouncing off the equipment stand. I have heard it makes a big difference with vocals. Has anyone used them...
I have a 7.1.4 setup but room on my processor for one more pair of speakers, either front heights, or front surrounds. Any thoughts on which might be the better next step? I will, of course, just try some speakers in each position, but wanted to gauge community thoughts as...
When they created the Arendal community they announced that they could get some speakers of the 1961 series for participating in it, I do not know what happened with it, if there is any section where it has already been commented. Can anyone explain to me what happened?Greetings Ramon T.
Hello Arendal members, Ik have ordered 4 thx 1723 speaker, but i am looking for stands? But dificult to find for the big speakers. I can’t make it by my self (DIY) Can somebody help me? Adam
Hi, From specs the output should not be to different, but in real life how big of a difference?
Let’s get a thread going of folks showing those subs getting the work done! Video
I have read almost universal acclaim for the 1723s but somewhat more tepid reviews for the 1723s. But cost is a concern for me me. I would probably go for a LCR system. I already a M&K sub so I could hold off on the sub and a pair of...
Hi Arendal members, Recently upgrade my subwoofers. Arendal 1723 2S replace 2x Velodyne DD12. The sound is simply amazing. Very tight, deep and controled bass exactly what I want. I was really surprised the woofer is barly move even at higher level and cabinet is rock solid. I’m really happy...
Hi everyone, I’ve done some tests with 30 Hz, 35 Hz and 40 Hz tone files without the subwoofer. 40 Hz – normal volume 35 Hz – much quieter 30 Hz – barely audible Test Setup Amplifier: Gato Audio “DIA-250S NPM” Front Speaker: PMC “twenty5.23” Front Speaker Cable: Sommer Cable...
Has anyone tried most mainstream EQ system and can provide their opinion on the differences? I’ve tried Audyssey and YPAO. From those two I did prefer Audyssey but there’s many more and would be curious to hear what other people think. Thanks :)
The 1723 series pleasantly surprised me by its stability sounding strongly and I wanted to show it with this video to some friends, I show you all its potential and control. Ramon T. https://youtu.be/pdmUxdNRoE8
Hey guys, I’m new here but was wondering if anyone has previously owned the JBL studio 580s and could share some insight into how they compare to the 1961s. thanks,
This is my first cinema room, it’s a dedicated 3,30×4,47 m (14,75 m2) room. Due to its small size I decided to treat the room only with absorption panels. I tried to follow as close as possible Dolby and THX specifications for speaker and screen placement, the final result is...
Hi Arendal friends, I am going to buy 4 1723 THX monitor speakers included 1723 THX center. The sub i am going to buy is the SVS PB-4000 I want to know if i can use iso acoustics gaia 2. I don’t know if they fit under the monitor...
Hi all :) Have any of you tried liming the room EQ frequencies on your setups? When I first got my Arendal speakers I was really disappointed as I was expecting them to sound MUCH better than my at the time Q Acoustics speakers that I had. I was also...
Whether or not upgraded parts in the crossover make a difference, have you ever tried or changed the components in the crossover? I am interested because in the manual you can see a little hint to a possible upgrade option. Sooo, what do you think?
Can you spot what has changed in the family room?
This is the question probably every asks: When to set the 1723 THX to Large When you are driving the 1723 THx speakers I would recommend using a separate amp that can handle the 4ohm output of the speakers. I always had them set to small and the bass output...
Enjoy your weekend! :)
Hi. Not shure if this is the right place to ask, but i try. I orderen the 1723 1S a couple of month ago, and starting to get eagere to get them in my setup. Does anyone know when the subs are back in stock and when shipment are about...

Hello, I am experimenting with few different speaker setups with my Arendal 1961 set and I quite like the 7.1 variant with towers as front, monitors as front wides and surrounds as surrounds (at about 120 degrees). With 7.1 or atmos signals, it seems that surround signals get split between...
Hi, I currently own a B&W DB1D subwoofer (sealed dual 12″) which sounds great but… has some kind of DSP issue I still have after a remplacement. I feel like those guys have a really poor quality assurance testing which is crazy considering the price point. Anyway, I feel like...
Wishing all a happy and peaceful easter..! Enjoy life and good sound!!
Is there additional info explaining the different setup options for the 1723 surrounds? I would like to better understand the two ways this speaker can be wired and the pro’s and con’s for each.
New setup and i like it 😎
The handbook states that the speaker should be a minimum of 20-30cm from the wall but doesn’t give the ideal distance. I would like to understand what the maximum recommendation distance is.
Mid range compression on or off ? Denon x6700h – 1723s towers and backs, surrounds with 1961 centre and 1961s sub
Just wandering, what subwoofer crossover frequency is everyone using with the 1723 Monitors when they are in the “plugged” configuration? I’m using an SVS SB-13 Ultra and found 80hz was optimal, otherwise if the sub was set below that frequency, it became directional.
Does anyone know if Arendal is planning on making in ceiling atmos speakers?
Hi there, I’m currently saving up my money to purchase some new speakers and leaning towards the Arendal 1961 series. Towers, center, and bookshelves for the 5 base speakers in my 5.2.2 system. Just curious if anyone can share their thoughts on going from their old speakers to the 1961...
Browsing the outlet, there’s no obvious indication of whether you’d be purchasing a single speaker or a pair. On the main site, price is given as €xxx/pair, but in outlet, this is missing. Several times while browsing, I’ve had to go to the main shop to check the prices to...
