You guys are great together. Hilarious, informative and honest review. You are game changing the world of audio, video reviews.

[@joentell]

Thank you! It’s so tough to communicate what we hear, but we figure if we bring the viewer along, they get a sense of what we think. I’ve tried using binaural recordings and measurements, and I think they all have their place to show different perspectives.

[@roelcorral7720]

I was considering this center or the revel performa c208 which is also a huge center but it’s a 3way. Decisions decisions. Good job on the arendal reviews!

[@ablerauer]

Great video guys. I preferred landscape myself too even though everything I read said to have it vertical. Nope… not in my room. Merry Christmas guys!

[@joentell]

😁

[@blueflame0003]

Wow what a coincidence i just bought this center channel to replace my klipsch c52,lately i notice its no sounding good dialog is terrible when watching movies do i started using subtitles i just paid 1378 for it ..i just started looking at the avm90 its on sale,otherwise i would also get the towers to replace my rp280 klipsch but then again this is how i bought my klipsch set up.great video happy holidays to the both of you and family ..🎉

[@marcgallant5270]

IMO price is decent considering how close it gets you to Revel Performa / KEF R Meta linearity and distortion numbers. Not budget friendly but not overpriced either

[@joentell]

I think the price is fair compared to its competition

[@Masterslessons]

I agree with that too It looks pretty standard price and fair considering inflation cheers

[@Goodboy0953]

Owner of Revel Ultima Voice!!! I love it and still using it 18 years on daily basis…

[@mikedinno8413]

I almost got the Arendal but instead I went with the new Ascend Acoustics 340SE2. Just a better value IMO. I got the center and soon will get the matching mains.

[@midbass.maestro]

Do you think the date and audio seventy five by two amplifier is good enough to put with my date and a v r on my surroumd channel

[@pat727321]

loving my Polk Reserves 11 channel setup for half the price

[@keepingupwiththejones2933]

What page does it tell you how to replace your wiper blades?😂😅

[@dirtyminerapparel]

Have you guys checked out JTR? If so how do these compare?

[@joentell]

I have not. Too huge for my space.

[@Snoopi.7]

how do they sound in movies? i had expected little more in that area not the best review i've seen, but still entertaining.

[@joentell]

I can't place it behind my screen yet and it covers my screen. I'll mention it once it's setup.

[@justbrowsing5279]

I just watched your video on directivity and how it affects EQ. Are we basically saying that speakers with wide horizontal dispersion take better to EQ? That's what I took from the video.

[@joentell]

I have 2 videos. One about dispersion and another about directivity. If after watching both, you still have questions, come back and I'll do my best to answer.

[@keepingupwiththejones2933]

11:20 For one speaker!?!? Its kinda pricey 😂😅. I love Channa and Joe enjoying life❤❤

[@ma3nni689]

You will never get a system free again😂😂😂. I guess 5 centers upright installed with 60hz crossover would be great. Maybe the room enhances the brightness. In a treated room it must sound less bright

[@danemoreno88]

Price is absurd imo looks nice but I wouldn’t even try these hate soft dome tweeters prefer metal domes this would be way better if they switched over to those

[@Masterslessons]

This is for the under 10k speakers only budget. Sounds very fair if these are what you're looking for. Stop pushing those soft tweeters is wack crap that's some malarkey. I have ones that will blow your door down don't even get me started who's pushing that rhetoric.

[@danemoreno88]

@@Masterslessons 😂😂 ok guy

[@Masterslessons]

@@danemoreno88 there is many different kinds of "soft" dome tweeters check the elemental charts

[@danemoreno88]

@@Masterslessons well all I know are two types fabric and silk don’t like them so haven’t researched more into them and silk being the worst out of the 2 imo

[@joentell]

There are good and bad implementations of every type of tweeter. Metal tweeters can typically play higher but have break-up modes that can be problematic if they aren’t implemented well.

[@Psyphonyx_Life]

Nice - The Grill magnet is Trans .. lol (jk)

[@dragonstone6594]

This style of video is very annoying to watch. Just do a normal review please.
