"Nothing else in this class can compare to the build quality, these are the best-built speakers. The whole speaker looks terrific from any angle."
“…the new SVS Ultra Evolution Titans which look promising if our review of their larger sibling is anything to go by. However, the specs would favor the Arendals in terms of dynamics and build quality in terms of weight.”
“Twice as expensive speakers do not have this level of build quality.”
“It’s hard to say what’s competing against them… There is just nothing like it at this price range.”
“The Arendals are very stiff competition, one thing that they have over all of these (competitors) is their build quality. It is really a step above.”

“The 1723 Towers stand as handsome but somewhat imposing black monoliths.The whole speaker looks terrific from any angle.”
“As orchestral recordings go, this was a lush presentation and projected a wide soundstage. The 1723 Towers delivered the width beautifully and made it seem like I had front-row seating.”
“The instruments all sounded tonally balanced on the 1723 Towers, and nothing was over-emphasized or recessed that I noticed.”
“Lead instruments sounded clear and had a well-defined point in the soundstage while instrumental sections occupied larger swaths of the imaged area. The speakers now brought the performers into my room.”
“The 1723 Tower nailed the imaging whether planted in a single point or vacillating feverishly over the soundstage.”
“They could belt out subwoofer-like low-frequencies that filled my room with thick bass.”
“The basslines and kick drums were given a tactile quality, a punch that I could feel in my chest, an effect normally in the province of subwoofers.”
“The system as a whole had way more dynamic range than I could tolerate.”
“They truly lived up to their THX certification with lively dynamics during the movies’ many shoot-outs and explosions.”
“The 1723 Towers did a great job of keeping the music score separate from the effects sounds, so the two never became confused.”
“Overall, the speakers were able to effect a big screen feeling, and I felt no need for surround speakers or a subwoofer.”
“…they sound terrific with a nicely balanced tonality and excellent imaging.”
“The imaging and sound staging were excellent with highly focused positioning and well-defined sound sources within the recording.”
“Their bass is strong when it needs to be but not overbearing.”
“These speakers truly do not need a subwoofer. With four 8” bass drivers per speaker, they have enough low-frequency dynamic range for all but the most crazed bass head.”
“The build quality is extremely good for the price point. In fact, I can’t think of any other loudspeaker brand that can match its build quality for the same cost. They are built like tanks and will last a long time if not abused. Their weight is a testament to that.”
“I don’t normally mention packing in this space, but it does make a difference, and the packing that Arendal used with the 1723 Towers is exceptional.”
“The 1723 Towers are extraordinarily well-packed with double-boxing, plywood protection on the top and bottom, corner protectors, edge protectors, polyethylene covering for the entire surface area, a sleek polyester drawstring sack for the speakers themselves, and inspection gloves for the unpacking process. It turns unpacking into an occasion that I think many buyers will enjoy because of the sheer presentation.”
“…they are a lot of speaker for the money. There are much more expensive loudspeakers that can not boast the level of build quality that these have.”
“I enjoyed them a great deal, and I am sure the vast majority of other buyers will as well.”
