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.

Ah, I can see you can get them at the same price here as well. Good amp for the money. The NAD C658 would be a good match and comes with Dirac room correction.

Lukas, the NAD C658 is the next thing on the shopping list😉

[Lukas]

You won’t be disappointed, good gear.

[Bjørn Stian Berger]

So, today i got me a NAD C658😉

[Lukas]

Hehe, that is awesome. Have fun setting it up. Dirac can be a very powerful tool!

[Bjørn Stian Berger]

Yea, need try out Dirac a bit more😉. But it sounds really good already..

Hi everyone . I have some fantastic Arendal 1723 towers, 1723 center, 1723 S for surround and an SVS SB 3000,I use an Anthem mrx 740 that I use as a pre to drive a Mca 325 for center and surround , and a Musical Fidality 6SI500 in HT mode pass for the towers . I also use a Rose RS 250 connected to the MF for two-channel playback only. Everything is top notch in my opinion, although I’d like to try the Arendal sun.

I use the yamaha rx-a3050 for my 1723 5.1System.

[Kristoffer Svendsen]

Sounds like you have quite the arsenal to choose from in terms of amplification!

[Kristoffer Svendsen]

Nice! How do you like the sound of your Yamaha? I’m quite fond of mine, but wouldn’t mind some extra headroom from a dedicated amp if I change my setup.
