“These speakers are pretty badass and I would have no problem recommending them.”
“I really do like these speakers. And the objective data really backs up a lot of what I heard and explains why I like this speaker.”
“Frankly, I think it’s a good-looking speaker.”
“In these two regards (distortion and compression), they’re some of the best speakers that I’ve tested… even besting speakers that cost maybe twice as much.”
Performance & Sound Quality
“It has really good linearity. It has tremendous SPL capability.”
“These speakers can play very loud. They have extremely low distortion and extremely low compression.”
“Measured sensitivity is at about 84.4 dB. F3 is at 41 Hz and F10 is at 26 Hz. Anechoic data shows good bass extension.”
“In-room extensions to about 35 Hz… The high frequency also looks very smooth. It’s not bright, shrill, or sharp.”
Comparisons & Value
“Certainly at this price and even besting speakers that cost maybe twice as much as this.”
“It says something that I’m comparing a roughly $6,000 per pair speaker versus a $10,000 pair speaker. I think that says a lot for the Arendal speaker.”
“Personally, I think the Arendal looks better… you don’t necessarily have to have a subwoofer with the Arendal.”
