1723 Bookshelf S THX review – Joe N Tell

"These are technically the best speakers that I've ever reviewed."

“These are technically the best speakers that I’ve ever reviewed.”

“On a technical level, these Arendal THX bookshelf speakers are the ones to go with.”

“If I had a friend who asked me what are the best speakers they can get for under $2,000, I’d probably point them to these.”

“These speakers are the most precise out of any of the other speakers that I’ve reviewed as far as imaging.”

“You can really trick yourself into thinking that you have a center channel speaker when you’re using these because the imaging is just that good.”

“I would say that this is at the very top—maybe top 10—of all the speakers I’ve tested.”

“For $1,700 a pair, that’s kind of crazy.”

“They will play loud, they will play clean—all of that.”

“These are very neutral out of the box… I could definitely live with them even if I didn’t EQ them—they’re that good.”

“If you’re in the market for some of the best speakers under $2,000, I think these are it.”
