New to Arendal. What do you suggest for starters?

[carlos-villarreal]

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?

Hi Carlos,
Since our speakers are all passive you will need amplification that has the functionality you want.

Good working multiroom systems for example are Sonos, Yamaha MusicCast, and Bluesound.

With Yamaha, you could have an AVR with multiple zones (5.1 + 2.1 + 2.0) and speakers placed in different rooms and also add smaller wireless amps to work in the system.

You also can integrate Alexa with those systems for voice control.

Thanks!  If I have further questions, I will let you know.

Best regards!

Sure, no problem.

Just let us know.

Hey Carlos,

If on a budget you can get some old receivers on the market for lower cost and hook up Amazon Echo Link up to them via RCA input and connect our speakers to those older amps. Just make sure the amps can handle 4-ohm speakers.

Just a thought. Good luck on your project!

That would be pretty entertaining if Alexa was built into Arendal speakers.
