What receivers/amplifiers do you use to drive you Arendal setups?

[Kristoffer Svendsen]

I’m curious, What receiver/preamp/source and/or amplifiers do you use with your Arendal speakers? Have you tested brands that worked better than others? I’m curious to know what you guys are using!

I’m using a Yamaha RX-A2060 to power a pair of 1961 Monitors and a 1723 Sub 1v and it sounds great! I might add a dedicated amplifier down the line if I get something bigger, but I definitely don’t feel like I’m missing much with my current setup.

After Selling all my Parasound stuff I am running a 5 channel Rotel class D (1565) in my room and I haven’t look back :)

XPA gen 3 amps powering all 13 of my theater Speakers.

1723 THX monitors for the front left and right, bi-amping with an XPA 4 Gen 3 and it sounds amazing!

1723 THX for the center, 1723s for the surrounds, 1961 towers for the rears all powered with an Emotiva XPA-5 gen 3.

4 SVS elevation heights and 2 emotiva B1 wides powered with another Emotiva XPA-7 gen 3.

I listen to a lot of 2 channel music and my 2 SVS PB4000 subs do a great job filling in the bottom end of the 1723 thx monitors. Im hoping to get a couple 1723 2S subs in the near future.

I tried Rotel, Parasound and NAD amps and the Emotiva gen 3 amps came out ahead every time in my room.
