Thanks for sharing, Andre. I am sure there are quite a few wondering about the differences in sound you are explaining between the SVS SB16-Ultra and our 1723 Subwoofer 1V. Great write-up!

Hey Colin,
Wow, I almost get emotional just reading this. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the Arendal family! Let us know how it sounds after you get the entire system setup as well.
Hey Carl. Welcome to the community! Great looking home cinema, I bet it sounds great as well.
Hey Meagan,
If you want to make any adjustment that affects both units, it makes sense to add them to a group so you don’t need to apply the same settings individually.
As for the “number of subs” option, that reduces the gain structure by about 4dB, to account for adding an extra unit – so that if you had calibrated level on your AVR with one sub, then this function will more or less let you have the same level with both in the system instead of having too much bass.
That works pretty well in our experience. You can use two of the dedicated 1723 brackets, one on each side of the cabinet.
Hello!
That is great to hear, welcome to the community. I am sure you are going to be thrilled by their performance.
As for the surround duties, I do hold a finger on the 1961 Surrounds, for their dispersion characteristics which makes the surround channels sound very evolving and also better for multiple seats.
I think you will find that they blend very well, Ramón.
Hey guys,
Our 10-year warranty remains unaffected by the retirement of the series. We will of course stand behind that.
The messaging may sound a bit vague, but only because we can’t be too direct at this point as things may still change. What I can tell you is that there will not be an immediate direct replacement of our 1961 series.
Great to hear James! I think you are spot on with how much difference a well-integrated subwoofer can actually add to the listening experience – beyond what one would think of initially, namely added deep bass response.
To add to it, you will in most scenario’s be seated closer to the surrounds than the front stage. For each doubling of distance, you lose about 6dB of efficiency. 1m to 2m down 6dB, 2m to 4m another 6dB lost etc.
