New Arendals coming in hot and I hyped!

[Brian Stout]

Hey y’all! New to the community and just wanted to say hi. My speakers shipping to me in the next few weeks and I will be setting up my new entertainment/gaming setup! I’ve been a long time Arendal lurker, and after a couple years of admiring and hearing nothing but good and reading all the stellar reviews, I decided to make the jump! I’ve previously used and owned many different speaker setups in various rooms, Mirage, KLH Kendall’s, Klipsch THX, Klipsch RF-7 III’s, JTR, Focal. I can’t wait to receive the new toys and I will update with my experience on here and various social platforms.

HI Brian,

 

welcome to the community. I am also quite new to Arendal, having bought my first sub (1723 1V) from them in January. In the meantime the 1723 THX towers followed as well as the 1723 THX Center speaker which I have received just this week.

Measurements with REW and setup was done yesterday.

I am still grinning all over my face.

Superb experience, great speakers. You will definitely not regret I guess.

 

Which ones did you order?

 

Regards,
Sven

Thank you, I have a 1723 THX setup on order. For the time I ordered 5 bed level and 2 Atmos but I will expand later to more channels once I adapt the room to a dedicated theater, for now it’s going to be more of a media/gaming room

Out of curiosity what Mirages did you have?

[Brian Stout]

I had the Mirage OM-7’s but that was many years ago. My brother and I moved and had a smaller room to work with so I ended up getting rid of those for Klipsch THX Ultra which were a better fit for that space and I had shifted to almost entirely movies and gaming so it worked out for me

Welcome and hello!  I just ordered the 1723 Tower S for my 12X12 listening room as recommended and joined the community.  My speaker journey Started with Cerwin Vegas in college which I played until the components aged and fell apart (you never forget your first set of serious speakers).  Replaced with a Cambridge SoundWorks 5.1 System for music and movies. Setup an AV room with a Cambridge SoundWorks 6 speaker system with left and right front T500 towers with the built-in 300 watt subwoofers until the amp went in the right tower.  Checked online and eventually they all fail.  Will never buy powered speakers again.  Did a lot of listening at local stereo stores and researched online.  Have tried KLH Kendall’s, SVS Prime Pinnacles, B&W 702 S2 and Polk R700.  All good but weren’t right to my ears in my room.  Believe there is no best speaker.  It’s what sounds best to you in your room within your budget.  Hoping my journey rests for now with the Arendals.
