Teh Hing’s Arendal Sound Journey

From Living Room to “Sonic Nirvana”

Arendal Sound stands out as the only system I’ve encountered that truly excels in less-than-ideal room conditions, making it a perfect choice for my home.

Why I Chose Arendal Sound 

I don’t have a dedicated home theater or acoustic-treated AV room. Instead, my Arendal Sound system shares the living room — a relaxing space for my family. Despite the challenges of this environment, the speakers perform amazingly well, proving their flexibility. With room correction through Anthem’s ARC Genesis, my setup delivers sound quality that rivals systems in dedicated, treated spaces. 

When I started looking for speakers, my goal was clear; clarity across the full frequency range, impactful dynamics, placement flexibility, and all at a budget-friendly price 

I first heard of Arendal Sound in 2021 through Audioholics. After researching online, it helped guide me toward what I now call my sonic nirvana. What drew me in? Outstanding stereo and multichannel performance, midrange clarity, sweet highs, full, impactful bass, with unmatched 3D imaging and sound placement. 

My Arendal Experience 

I’ve been enjoying my Arendal system for over three years, and it continues to exceed my expectations. Whether for stereo music or a full home theater experience, the 1723 Tower THX, 1723 Center THX, 1723 Surround S THX, and 1723 1V Subwoofer shine. 

Here’s what stands out: 

  • Stereo and 3D Imaging: Wide sweet spot and precise sound placement. 
  • Midrange Clarity: Voices are clear, with tight, impactful mid-bass. 
  • High-End Sweetness: Controlled highs that avoid being harsh or fatiguing. 
  • Bass Performance: Deep, dynamic, and controlled—not overpowering. 
  • Flexibility: Easy to place and performs well even in a non-ideal room. 
  • Power Handling: Takes full advantage of high-end components. 
  • Design: Aesthetically beautiful and a pleasure to showcase. 

My Setup

Here’s what I’m using: 

  • Speakers: Arendal 1723 Tower THX, Center THX, Surround S THX, and 1V Subwoofer  
  • Display: 65” Sony A1 OLED TV 
  • Sources: Zidoo Neo S player, Denafrips Aeris II DAC 
  • Electronics: Anthem MRX 1120 AVR, Parasound JC2 BP pre-amp, Parasound A52+ power amp 

This combination creates a massive, detailed soundstage with pinpoint 3D positioning. Whether it’s Darth Vader’s menacing voice or the smallest detail in a film score, the experience is immersive and thrilling. 

Final Thoughts 

I’m more than just satisfied — I’m proud to represent Arendal Sound as an Ambassador. The build quality, aesthetics, and sonic performance are second to none. After three years, the system continues to impress me every day. 

Arendal Sound has transformed my living room into a world-class listening space, proving you don’t need a perfect environment to enjoy perfect sound.
