New speakers have arrived!
New speakers in the house. Having a little fun with the reveal on my Instagram page. These Arendal 1732 THX towers will be used for my upcoming gaming/media setup. I did a lot of research on deciding what to try next, reading a lot of trusted reviews, watching videos and speaking to friends and owners. I’ve had my eye on these ones for quite some time. The unboxing experience was very very impressive, they come super well packaged and include some nice accessories like metal bases with carpet spikes and rubber feet, high quality metal magnetic grille, a cool booklet showing the Arendal story, run down on all the parts used and testing done on all their gear and some white gloves for handling. They have some heft, being built with HDF as opposed to MDF along with four 8” bass drivers (two dedicated LF, two crossed to cover low and mids), aluminum waveguide for the tweeter. I barely got to set them up and listen to them much as it was already late last night so I will be doing some playing with them this week and look forward to seeing that they can do! These will be used in an upcoming gaming/media room along with 1723 THX surrounds, center channel and some height speakers hooked to an Onkyo TX-RZ50 with NAD M27 amplifier but for now, the towers will hang out in the living room until the basement is ready.
