A MILESTONE

NOT A PRODUCT

Ten years ago, we set out to change what people could expect from a loudspeaker to strip away the noise of inflated promises and build something honest, purposeful, and lasting. 

Today, we celebrate that journey with the 1528 Tower 8 Limited 10th Anniversary Edition. 

Just 25 pairs exist. Each one is as unique as the rosewood it’s dressed in. Each one is a big thank you to the community who believed in us, and to the moments of sound that brought us all together. 

This is not a product line. It is a milestone. A collector’s piece of Norwegian heritage, never to be repeated. 

Thank you for all your support. 

CEO and Founder of Arendal Sound 

CRAFTED IN ROSEWOOD

For the first time, our flagship wears piano-gloss rosewood, a nod to Norway’s design heritage, where rosewood once defined Scandinavian modernism. 

Twelve layers of lacquer, each sanded and polished by hand, reveal a finish that glows with depth and character. Against this warmth, satin-black details on the baffle, waveguide, trim-rings and base bring balance and restraint. 

Every pair tells its own story through the natural grain of the wood. No two are alike, each is as individual as a fingerprint. 

“The build quality of the 1528 loudspeakers is so exceptional that other manufacturers would easily charge double Arendal’s prices.”

– Audioholics 

MADE TO BE REMEMBERED

Every detail has been chosen to honour its rarity.

Puck Pro feet included as standard (an upgrade from Puck Plus). 

And unlike most collector’s pieces, this one was made to be lived with. To fill rooms, shape moments, and remind you why music matters.  

Just 25 pairs worldwide. When they’re gone, they are gone forever.

REFERENCE BY DESIGN

Beneath the rosewood lies the same reference-level architecture that has made the 1528 Tower 8 our flagship. 

A 28mm lithium-magnesium tweeter, paired with a custom waveguide, delivers crystal clear highs with effortless dispersion. 

A 5” carbon-graphene midrange brings vocals and instruments alive with breathtaking realism. 

Four 8” aluminium woofers anchor the music with dynamic, controlled bass that fills the room without overwhelming it. 

The entire system is housed in a precision-engineered, 85mm thick, time-aligned baffle, ensuring every driver works in harmony. The curved design directs sound to the listening position with perfect timing, resulting in better phase coherence and preserving purity. 

The result isn’t just performance. Its presence. A soundstage that breathes, a rhythm that grips, and details that stay with you long after the final note fades. 

A HERITAGE IN DESIGN

This edition carries not only our story, but the legacy of Norwegian design. 

During the 1950s and 60s, rosewood became a signature of Scandinavian modernism. Its durability, richness, and striking grain made it the choice of designers like Hans Brattrud and Torbjørn Afdal, whose work defined an era of timeless craft. 

By clothing our flagship in rosewood for the first time, we honour that heritage. Functional elegance. Honest materials. Lasting beauty. 

This is sound as design, and design as sound. 

“The Arendal 1528 Tower 8 is an outstanding loudspeaker with exceptional styling and build quality, capable of delivering clear, dynamic, spacious, full-range sound that reveals every detail in a recording. At its price, it represents an extraordinary value.”
