I just purchased the new SVS Utlra Evolution Pinnacles! I had looked at Arendal but having to set the center speaker vertically pushed me to SVS. We are 80% movies and 20% music.

I have the 1723 Tower S and regular 1723 Center for my LCR. I'm very happy with them. The sound is amazing. I hope the production of the 1528 line doesn't turn out to be a huge miscalculation on Arendal's part. Many of the comments say how it's far out of their price range. It's possible the 1723's fell in to the "I can barely afford this much but I'll do it anyways" price range for most people. $4,250 for Arendal 1723 LCR was way more than I should have spent in the first place. Even If I could afford the 1528's, not sure I would buy them. Luckily for middle class me, I prefer the design asthetic of the 1723's. Keep up the great work, your reviews are always fun to watch. I'm a fan. 👍 Also, do you think the folks over at Perlisten did a double take when they saw how much the 1528's copy their designs?

interesting design with the baffle not being mounted with the speaker itself. iam not sure how well this works since u absolutely dont want the baffle to start resonating whatsoever. I would suggest most energy is going inside the speaker and as long as in there enough bracing etc is done, it should be fine?! This actually triggers the diy in me, gonna do some simulations and if it looks promising, maybe i build something like that myself and test it against a normal speaker baffle. But cant see it being even 100% equal to a normal baffle, but it certainly is a diffrent look. as long as its impact is so minimal you cant hear it, does it matter?

Man I am still hyped and waiting for the video, where you are comparing them in your home cinema. In Germany I have to pay 19 percent taxes + 7 percent customs + shipping (around 1500€) on top when I am buying JTR. So it is a lot / on the same level like these Arendals. But I cannot believe that they will sound as crispy and beautiful like the JTRs 🤷 Hyped, and desire! Maybe you can bring in some sound demos --> I know you normally not do it. It is not to hear what you here, but maybe some different charasteristics of these two speakers JTR vs Arendal

@@Youthman Speaking of the electronics at the centre of a multichannel HT or even higher end 2 channel system, one only need take a look at the current TOTL Marantz products.

I'm quite confident they are going to desire as much power as I can give them. I'll check them out with just the Cinema 30, but these are meant to have lots of power feeding them so I'll also connect my Outlaw Audio 2200 mono blocks to them to see how much difference they make. I also have an Emotive DR3 to try as well. Gene from Audioholics wants to bring his NAD amp as well next week.

Just going off of build quality and weight alone, I don't understand how so many people are having a meltdown over the pricing. I have experienced hundreds of speakers nowhere near this build quality that are far more expensive. These weren't created nor meant to attract the " economical" crowd they are obviously trying to attract a different segment of this hobby, and if they actually sound like they should at their price points, then they should do very well in this segment. I was kinda surprised they were as "reasonable" priced as they were 😂
