Performance & Sound Quality
“Way more capable than you would think.”
“It plays lower than any sealed speaker—it’s hefty, I mean really hefty.”
“It sounds way better than it did before I installed it—no complaints there.”
“A night and day difference from the KEF Q4 and even the R2C.”
“About 30 Hz in-room response is what they say—I think I’m going to get lower.”
Design & Engineering
“It’s called Slim, but it’s bigger and heavier than any bookshelf speaker you’ve ever seen.”
“Don’t be fooled by the name—it’s very big, very heavy, and very capable.”
“The same driver, same setup as the Monitor 8s—just in a smaller form factor.”
“Time-aligned and curved like everything else in the 1723 lineup—premium build.”
Use & Versatility
“You can use it as LCR, surrounds, on-wall Atmos, or even a center channel.”
“I’m using it behind an acoustically transparent screen—you won’t see it, but you’ll definitely hear it.”
“It gives you more sound than your average center channel speaker.”
“It weighs more than almost all bookshelf speakers—except Arendal’s own.”
