“I can’t help but feel like that this is probably the highest value Arendal speaker to date.”
“This is bigger than all of them.”
“Bass power kind of insane. Extension kind of insane.”
“I was getting flat down to at least 27.”
“The treble and mid-range [are] both fantastic.”
“There was an attack and an immediacy to pretty much all frequencies that gave me this feeling of a live performance.”
“The speaker sonic character overall… [is] more like a live performance.”
“That mid-range is fullbodied. There is weight to it. It is big, bold, and with just tons and tons of heft.”
“Guitar strings, I mean, you can feel the weight of them.”
“Singers with chesty or breathy voices have weight and body to them as if they’re in the room with you.”
“This speaker likes to be above 75 dB in my opinion to sound its greatest.”
“The 1610 has more headroom.”
“Its bass power is substantially stronger.”
“Its extension goes deeper.”
“Its stage is wider, deeper, taller.”
“The 1528 definitely more audiophile from top to bottom.”
“The 1610 conveys that so well.”
“If you’re an audio file, you’re probably going to like the 1528 a little bit more.”
“If you are the type of person that… [likes] a live like presentation… you may actually prefer the 1610.”
“None of the $2,500 speakers… have that attack, that bite, that live like presentation in the high frequency region.”
“If you want a live-like presentation or as close to it as possible, the 1610 does a pretty darn good job of that.”
