What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- Arendal Sound products boast exceptional build quality using high-density fiberboard (HDF), internal bracing, and premium components like rhodium-plated copper binding posts, surpassing typical construction at their price point.
- They often incorporate advanced waveguide technology around their tweeters, aiming for controlled directivity and a smoother off-axis response, allowing for versatile placement and integration with various room acoustics.
- Arendal often provides options for adjusting bass response with port plugs, allowing users to optimize performance based on room size and personal preference, offering flexibility in tuning the low-end output.
- Arendal offers a 60-day in-home trial period and a generous warranty (10 years for passive components, 5 years for electronics), signaling a high level of confidence in the quality and durability of their products.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "Almost immediately, I was drawn into serious-listening mode. At the moderately high volume level set at the time, the speakers' performance was jaw-dropping." (https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/system-one/1925-arendal-sounds-1528-series-tower-8-loudspeaker-monumental-value)
- "The midband guitar sound and tambourine highs that open the song had reference-class clarity and created a stunning sense of spaciousness. But it was Harris's voice that truly captivated me as it emerged from the mix with singular presence." (https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/system-one/1925-arendal-sounds-1528-series-tower-8-loudspeaker-monumental-value)
- "From the first notes onward, the 1723 Monitors gave this mass a full and vivid sound, Lead vocals were crystal clear and anchored firmly around the soundstage center, and the choral and instrumentalists surrounded them for an expansive soundstage that seemed to stretch out beyond the speakers' placement." (https://www.audioholics.com/bookshelf-speaker-reviews/arendal-1723)
- "I rarely, if ever, use the term "best" but I have to think this is the best speaker in its size class I've reviewed to date." (https://erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/arendal1961bookshelf)
- "Consistently, at all volumes, the pair produced big, dynamic sound with such ease and clarity they seemed to be coasting along, much like good horn speakers do. An expansive soundstage proved to be another of the Tower 8s' hallmarks." (https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/system-one/1925-arendal-sounds-1528-series-tower-8-loudspeaker-monumental-value)
- "I was shaking my head in disbelief listening to this kind of sound coming from such diminutive, unassuming compact floorstanders like the 1961s. This cut, played back at a fairly high level on speakers like the 1961s, powered by gobs of ultra-clean, distortion-free Parasound wattage, is truly striking and the sound defines what hifi is all about."
