1723 Monitor THX review- Audioholics

The Arendal Sound 1723 Monitors offer superb sound quality.

1723 Subwoofer 2V review – DTown

This is the result of years of brainstorming, development, and research, as well as listening to customers, investment in the brand, and solid acoustic engineering principles in first-class construction and finish presented at a particularly high aesthetic level.

1723 Subwoofer 1S Video review – Nemo Propaganda

“High-end sound and more of a high-end experience.”

1961 Subwoofer 1S Video review – Nemo Propaganda

It tells me that someone at the company, most likely the owner, just cares a lot about the product.

1723 Subwoofer 2V Video review – Audioholics

“We have been very impressed with their speakers that we reviewed, we are really impressed with this subwoofer. We think these guys make a really good speaker package, very high performance, very high value, very honest.”

1961 2.1 review – Stereo+

Arendal continues to deliver interesting home cinema products, but they play music just as impressively. Even if the speakers in this case are very compact there is still a lot of, and cool sound to hear.

1723 Subwoofer 2V Video review – Audioholics

Arendal Sound has delivered another knock-out product. This is a truly extraordinary performance. The 1723 2V added a foundation that doesn’t become apparent until you remove it. The technology and sophistication are second to none in its price class.

Congratulation to Arendal for the 1723 Monitor THX winning both the Pursuit Perfect System Best in Class Award and the serious Bang for Buck Award.

1723 Monitor THX Video review – Audioholics

“This is extremely high value for what you’re going to get.”

1723 Subwoofer 1S review- AVPlus

It’s a subwoofer that manages to sound really big and powerful but on the other hand also takes on a much more subtle role as part of the sound system.

1961 Subwoofer 1V review – Hemmabio

The sound is the best in the test and on top of it the cabinet's shape is designed so that this large subwoofer does not take up much space.

1961 Subwoofer 1S review – Hifi Musik Group

The subwoofer has the nice ability to disappear completely from its physical placement and just exist in the room, due to the solidly built box and completely free from distorting sounds.

1723 Subwoofer 2S review – Recordere

1723 Subwoofer 1S – Best of 2020-2021 – Stereo+

1723 Monitor THX review – Recordere

Arendal delivers – the price taken into consideration, an amazing value for the money with a performance and build quality, which one normally won’t see ANYWHERE NEAR this price range.

With the new 2V in the 1723 series, Arendal delivers sub-bass on a very high level, and all things considered for a very reasonable price.

1723 Subwoofer 1S review – Stereo+

Arendal Sound continues to impress, and Subwoofer 1S is not an exception. With very flexible adjustability and impressive control, this subwoofer belongs in both hi-fi setups as well as the home cinema.

1723 Subwoofer 2V Video review – Spare Change

1961 7.1.2 & Subwoofer 1S – Fwd

These are serious speakers built and finished to a high standard. You will never think: “This is a bit cheap”.

1961 7.1.2 & Subwoofer 1S – Hemmabio

With 1961, Arendal has a system that not only is considerably cheaper than the 1723 sisters, there are also speakers that fit perfectly in everything from really small to fairly large room

1961 5.1.2 & Subwoofer 1S – Home Cinema Choice

It takes little time at all to realise this system is pretty special. It's a revealing, full-range performance

1961 5.1 & Subwoofer 1S review – STEREO+

Real home theater speakers should also be able to satisfy picky ears when playing music. This is demanding, but Arendal delivers masterfully.

1723 Tower THX 5.0 review – Tha_villaman

They may be some of the best looking speakers I've seen in a while

1723 Subwoofer 1 review – HiFi Vision

The 1723 Subwoofer 1 provides a lot of home-cinema fun because its tight and precise way to catapult bass impulses through the listening room can indeed thrill you.

1961 Subwoofer 1V Best of 2020 – HiFi Test

1961 Subwoofer 1S review – Stereo+

Arendal Sounds new subwoofer 1061 1S delivers a lead-heavy, firm and controlled bass with powerful pressure. It is difficult to think that any competitor could do it much better at this price point

1961 Subwoofer 1S & 1V review – Heimkino

The new Arendal Sound 1961 subwoofers deliver a tight, mighty and highest-quality bass with an impressive power handling within this price range.

Arendal Sound Bookshelf S is one impressively playful, lively, competent and engaging compact speaker!

1961 Subwoofer 1S review – AV Tech Best Value Subwoofer 2019/20

It’s a sub that digs deep, hits hard but retains control – and can be tailored to your room.

1961 Subwoofer 1S review – Home Cinema Choice

1723 S 11.1 & 1961 Subwoofer 1V Video review – Spare Change

1961 Subwoofer 1S & 1V review – AV Plus

The robust and bulky subwoofer is capable of producing wall-shaking sound pressure and good sound quality.

1961 Subwoofer 1S & 1V review – Hemmabio

I haven’t had them for very long but both subwoofers impress me very much! Tight, authoritatively and heavy bass summarizes the impressions where 1V gives an even more physical experience than the small 1S.

1723 Monitor S THX review – Audiovideoteam

The performance that the Arendal system provided in our environment and in our laboratory is not trivial and does not fall into the category of speakers below 2,000 euros.

1723 Bookshelf S THX 5.1 Subwoofer 1 review – Heimkino

The 5.1 system of Arendal delights us in our test with outstanding musicality and a highly dynamical ability despite of the compact format.

1723 Bookshelf S THX Blog review – Rognliens Hifi-blog

When we start playing some music, I am not surprised that these speakers have some very good all-round characteristics. On the other hand, I am quite surprised of how much I enjoyed classical music on them

1723 S THX 5.1 review– Les AnnÉes Laser

1723 S THX 5.1 review – Home Cinema Choice

1723 Bookshelf S THX review – Audiophile.no

Incredibly good work down there in the Southern part of Norway - it should not be easy to match the price tag, the great quality feeling and the amazing sound of the Arendal Sound 1723 Bookshelf S THX Ultra

1723 Subwoofer 2 review – Hemmabio

1723 Bookshelf S THX review – HIFI&MUSIK

Purely tonal and basically with all the hifi parameters taken into consideration, for the price close to completion.

1723 Subwoofer 1 review – HiFi Test

The 1723 Subwoofer 1 provides a lot of home-cinema fun because its tight and precise way to catapult bass impulses through the listening room can indeed thrill you.

1723 S THX 5.1 review – Fwd Home Cinema Magazine

he build quality and finish is nothing short of excellent for the price, and the speakers are very thoughtfully designed. When it comes to the exterior, the gloss lacquer finish is particularly handsome.

1723 Tower THX Video review – AV Plus

If you're looking for a pair of speakers that show remarkable agility both in music and movies, 1723 Tower THX is a brilliant choice.

1723 S 5.1 THX Video review – Spare Change

Even driven to reference levels which is normally too loud for my ears the 1723s never distorted or cracked under pressure. This cant be said of other popular brands that I have heard.

Arendal Sound Bookshelf S is an impressively good sounding, lifelike, competent and engaging compact speaker.

1723 S THX 5.1 award – Stereo+ Product of The Year 2018

1723 S THX 5.1 review – Stereo+

Arendal Sound has put together a system that for the time being is the most impressive you can experience in this price range.

1723 S THX 5.1 review – HiFi Vision

Arendal has delivered another Highlight for home cinema enthusiasts with its 1723 Monitor S THX system. Being only marginally less dynamical than the bigger “sister models”, the Monitor S system plays with extreme precision and can also show off with a THX license.

1723 Subwofer 3 review – Stereo+

Subwoofer 3 sounds breathtaking and violent and with surplus in heaps, and it plays movies and music equally well. You decide. Subwoofer 3 delivers.

1723 S THX 5.1 review – HiFi Test

The brand Arendal already caused quite a furore with the 1723 system back in summer 2017. Now they raise the stakes presenting the 1723 Monitor S, an equally powerful speaker set including THX certificate, but in a more compact package.

1723 S THX 5.1 review – AV Plus

We can honestly say that Arendal's 1723 S truly is one of the most convincing home theater speaker systems in its price class.

With a price well below 1.000 EUR and despite the manageable size of this 1723 Subwoofer 1, Arendal is offering a remarkably powerful deep-bass performer that can easily take on larger competitors.

1723 S THX 5.1 review – Heimkino

The brand Arendal already caused quite a furore with the 1723 system back in summer 2017. Now they raise the stakes presenting the 1723 Monitor S, an equally powerful speaker set including THX certificate, but in a more compact package.

1723 S THX 5.1 review – Avforums.com

1723 Subwoofer 2 review – Lyd&bilde

When we are talking about clean and effortless deep bass, we have hardly heard it better than this “doomsday machine” from arendal.

1723 Monitor S THX review – Stereo+

An open, energetic and entertaining speaker that is impressive in combination between movies and music.

1723 5.1 THX System review – Audio E Cinema Em Casa

I would rate this first Arendal Sound surround set as a big entrance. Essentially conceived for the sound reproduction in home cinemas, this set delivers more than enough arguments to stand up to a fierce competition

1723 Tower S THX review – Stereo+

What nevertheless impresses is the calm, relaxed and undaunted way it plays music, and that it still manages to render each and every hit of the drums and every single blow with palms and fingers.

1723 Tower S THX „product of The Year“ award – Stereo+

Arendal Sound has managed to shrink the loudspeaker a lot without losing dynamics, sound signature and the great soundstage. An impressive loudspeaker!

1723 Tower THX review – HiFi Test

We found out that the Norwegian loudspeakers are really exciting. The Arendal 1723 display a big and mighty appearance and then show a really superior sound, capable of handling any situation.

1723 Tower THX award – Best of HiFi Test 2018

With a big and mighty visual appearance, the Arendal 1723 Tower displays a superior musical performance that can cope with any listening situation.

1723 Subwoofer 1 review – Hifimaailma

Arendal Sound’s smallest subwoofer is externally quite bald but no-nonsense, and rationally constructed. Its’ frequency range reaches low and is tuneful.

1723 THX 5.1 review – Avforums.com

Listening to this system brought a smile to our face and reminded us of how good a 5.1 system can sound when done correctly.

1723 Tower THX review – Fidelity

Arendal has with the 1723 created a glorious masterpiece, a very good all-rounder, which is easy to control, easy to operate, easy to live with.

1723 Subwoofer 1.5 review – Hemmabio

It puts a smile on our face, this is really good! No matter what system we are currently using the sub with, and regardless of the eq and closed / ported box, the sub base is seamlessly integrated in a rarely heard way.

1723 Monitor THX review – Audiophile.no

With 1723 Monitor Arendal Sound has created a speaker that impresses grand as music renderer in stereo. It also is an outstanding home theater speaker you can take as a pure bonus!

Extremely dynamic and detailed in a way that makes the experience even more intense, it will surely give Arendal many fans, especially people who come from car stereo or live audio.

1723 THX 5.1 System review – Stereo+

There are a lot of speakers made and some are better than others for use in a home theater. It’s the case with Arendal Sound that it is very good on music and totally amazing at home theater.

1723 Monitor THX Review, Hifimaailma

1723 Monitor’s sound matches well the image conveyed by its’ looks: big and dynamic. Colorations are delightfully minimal, and the speaker seems like quite a universal sound reproducer.

1723 Monitor THX review – HiFi Critic

1723 Monitor THX review – Stereo+

After we reviewed the larger Tower, we were so impressed that it was not particularly fun to test cheaper floorstanding speakers. Now it’s time for the smaller "bookshelf speakers"; The Monitor. They simply make a mockery of everything else that is designed for stands or shelf placement similarly priced.

1723 THX 5.1 – Lyd&bilde

It's not often we hear so insanely tough home cinema like this. Arendal Sound takes the soundstage and just thrusts it into the room. The subwoofer especially hammers and shakes the whole body loose, without even trying.

1723 Subwoofer 1 review – Stereo+

I am impressed with what Arendal's achievements with Subwoofer 1. It is flexible, very versatile and easy to integrate. In the price class it challenges absolute everything else on the market, and even our reference similarly priced under ten thousand.

1723 Tower THX review – Stereo+

For such a big speaker it shows a lot of refinement and ability for details, however it also has a mid bass and a deep bass that you nearly can’t find any other place in this price region.

1723 Subwoofer 2 review – Stereo+

A Norwegian made subwoofer that makes life exceptionally hard for many foreign competitors. A lot of fun and entertainment for the price!
