SMARTER FIT.
FULL-SCALE PERFORMANCE.

The 1723 Monitor S shares its DNA with the Tower S, including THX Ultra certification and sealed or ported flexibility. Its two-way design with dual 6.5” woofers offers wide dispersion, excellent dynamics, and a refined sound signature that’s just as capable in a music-first stereo system as it is in the front or surround stage of a full home theater.

Mount it on a stand. Place it on a media unit. Hang it on the wall. However you use it, the Monitor S adapts without selling you short on performance.

“Just blown away by this speaker. It’s just a triumph, it’s a perfect speaker.”

“…it’s no surprise that the Arendal 1723 Series S has been rightfully recognized as an AVS Top Choice for 2023.”

“an excellent choice for both music and home theater applications.”

MADE FOR
MODERN SPACES

Smaller but confident, the 1723 Monitor S is built to perform in rooms where floorstanders may not be ideal. The thick HDF cabinet is fully braced and finished in our signature hand-painted satin. Clean lines, chamfered corners, and magnetic grilles give it a timeless, purposeful look that fits any environment.

It’s a reflection of our Norwegian roots where design is clean, engineering is precise, and quality always comes first.

BUILD YOUR
REFERENCE SYSTEM

The 1723 Monitor S matches seamlessly with the full 1723 and 1723 S lineup. Use it as a main speaker in stereo or surround setups, or pair it with the 1723 Center S, Surround S, and Height S for a powerful, space-saving system.

Want more bass? Add a 1723 Subwoofer. From the sealed 1S to the vented 2V, each one is built to complement the speed, output, and tone of the Monitor S.

ENGINEERING  EXCELLENCE

CABINET

High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) with internal bracing for maximum rigidity. Denser and more inert than MDF, it minimizes cabinet resonance and supports exceptional clarity.
ENCLOSURE TUNING

Can be run sealed or ported using the included plugs. Sealed for tight, accurate bass. Ported for deeper extension.
FINISH

Available in hand-painted Satin Black or Satin White. No vinyl wraps — just a clean, durable premium painted finish designed to last.
MAGNETIC GRILLES

Free-flowing metal cores wrapped in acoustic cloth preserve sound and soften the look. Neodymium magnets hold them in place — no plastic pins, no visible hardware. With rubber buffers to protect the finish, they’re made to look and sound right, on or off.
BINDING POSTS

Premium rhodium-plated speaker terminals mounted on an aluminum backplate for a secure connection — whether you’re using banana plugs, spades, or bare wire.
TWEETER AND WAVEGUIDE

28mm synthetic soft dome tweeter in a custom waveguide for wide dispersion, improved integration, and natural high-frequency response.
MID-BASS DRIVERS

Dual 6.5″ custom drivers designed for tight, low-distortion bass and a natural, punchy midrange. Controlled, responsive, and built to handle serious dynamics.
CROSSOVER

2-way design with steep slopes for smooth driver integration and reduced distortion. Tuned for clarity, imaging, and tonal balance across the entire frequency range.

Frequency

Frequency response does not reflect maximum output but shows its true response in a anechoic chamber. Typically you will see an elevated response in the bass response below 40Hz in room due to room gain, which can add around 6dB pr. octave under 40Hz depending on the size of your room.

Polar

The charts display frequency response measured at different angles, the sum of which is referred to as power response. Much scientific research has been undertaken on this subject and a linear power response has proven a substantial impact on the overall sound, because the frequency response is more even in all directions. This means an Arendal Sound speaker will be more tolerant of differences in room shape, size, construction and materials.

Impendence

The impedance charts are electrical measurements of the loudspeaker’s resistance vs frequency.
