Started with the older 1723 sub 1.5, bought a 1961 1s for my desk setup. Next step is replacing my older speakers with arendals. I love this brand man, great customer service too

I like how you went with a white satin center channel and black satin for the rest. I just always wondered if I should risk going with white as maybe it may draw too much attention and the black would disappear a little more. Great Review!
Enjoy watching these reviews, may I suggest a "retro review" kind of thing where you review popular speakers from the past? Many of us buy 2nd hand and vids on retro speakers would speak to many of us
Hey Cody, great review! I was wondering if for a video idea you could design home theater setups for budget categories for those of us that aren’t too keen on the hobby? Like maybe a $500 5.1 setup on the extreme low end vs a $2-2.5k setup no tv included. Would be really interesting to see since you’ve reviewed so many products!
Thank you! I did a gift guide video last year that was similar to what you're requesting here: ua-cam.com/video/1T8l2sjRMqw/v-deo.html But it's a good idea to do something more targeted. No promises but I may do that video at some point.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist In my push to be 1st to comment, I neglected to ask where you'd suggest installing those surrounds. Since they have speakers on the sides as well, would you install them like any other surround speaker, or do you point them a little in front or behind you?
I've been using a 7.2.4 1723 kits for a year now and I will say they are endgame speakers. Haven't heard the S model but I figure they are the same with a tad less mid and bass but I think anyone getting the 1723S will be 100% satisfied. I also ordered monitors across the board. Besides the towers are beyond huge. These speakers are small so if you have a small room their 1961 speakers will be just fine. As far as height speakers I wish they made the full 1723 but the 1723S heights do a great job also. I had SVS elevations before they were ok but the Arendal heights completely changed atmos or dts x. I was lucky and saved 15% as I got them before covid and since last summer (2021) they raised the price across the board.
I have a whole 1723s thx set up and 4 SVS heights. You really notice that much of a difference from the 1723 heights? They’re up there in price and thought about getting them but feel like it’s not that much of a difference. What do you think?
@@raymondayala5355 yeah I had the svs elevations before also and they were barely noticeable with the Arendal but now I hear a big difference they are really worth it. Those small 4" compared to 6.5 are worlds appart. They have since went up in price twice since they released so depends how much heights you want but I would be all in if I were you.
That subwoofer is Ginormous. I wish i could use a sub but I've found I just can't, the bass sound just travels too easily and it annoys my neighbours. I don't want to do that, I'm a good neighbour. AN APP OMG, I remember years (I think) ago, when reviewing the Arendal 1961 Sub, the only criticism I remember you making, is that it had no app to be able to make adjustments to, and better tune the system from your seated position. Clearly they listened.
According to Erin's Audio Corner, at least some of these THX certified Arendal speakers can actually dip into the 3 ohm territory. You need some quality power amps that can go below 4 ohms in stability.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist That would be nice, there's so many conflicting opinions of dipole/bipole in Atmos. My side surrounds will only be 2 feet or so from seating so seems like a case for bipole/dipole.
Thanks for watching! 😁 Hopefully you understand the confusion, the cover of the Blu-Ray 3D version I have actually says "Live. Die. Repeat" is large letters and "Edge of Tomorrow" in small letters.

Would you be wrong to wall mount the 1723 monitor S and 1723 monitor S Center around a 85 inch tv? Will this be bad for the ports? I saw an ambassador wall mount 1961 series this way. They are sealed so that may be better for wall mounting. What do you think Cody?
How do these Arendal's compare to Kef R11, R2C & R3 speakers in 5.1 I would guess that the Kef will be superior for music and the arendal will be more dynamic for movies in a big room. Keep up the good work. Enjoying your channel.
Thanks for the review! When you say your neighbour came to help you. Do you live in an apartment, semi-detached, or detached house? Wondering if they wouldn’t be too loud in an apartment?
I live in a detached house, my neighbor came over to help move the tv. It’s too large (77”) for one person. At reference level they are loud but at normal levels it’s fine. At night I would turn the sub down a few decibels but as long as you are reasonably considerate it should be fine.
Thanks for the comparison. I just have one question. Heco centers vs arendal vs Klipsch center Or is it just better to just save up and get the arendal towers and center?🧐
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Thanks for the feedback. Where do they rank compared to the SVS ultra system as well? You should have a speaker leaderboard so people know the rankings based on your reviews :)
I too replaced my Dali's to the Arendals. Using the Arendal 1723 Tower S for the Left/Right speakers since the non S version is just too big for my room but using the 1723 Monitor ( 8" woofers ) as my center speaker since the center handles most of the heavy lifting. Also I noticed that you have one of the ports on the center speaker plugged?
Hi 👋🏾, no I haven’t plugged the center only the Monitors. I could plug the center but I didn’t. What’s the sound difference between your Dali and the Arendal?
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Oh I thought it was the center speaker since it was sideways. I had the Dali Oberon 7's. It's hard to compare using just memory since I didn't AB test them but I felt like the Arendals have more dynamics. Sounds a bit bright which I confirmed using REW but I EQ'd the high freq down a bit on my Anthem AVR.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist The Arendals do seem to sound brighter but again memory isn't a reliable source. They are more dynamic plus you are correct the panning from LCR is really great.
@@TechinaSec101 In my current setup I am using the 1723 Tower S but chose the 1723 Center monitor with the bigger woofers since the Center speaker is the most important speaker in an HT setup. In my room I could use the 1723 Monitors too but decided on the Tower S so at least I don't have to spend on speaker stands. Actually if one is using subs going with the monitors is just fine. I just like the look of tower speakers.
My main reason is because the center speaker is the same speaker as the monitors. So the experience is the same as things pan across the front speakers
I think the 1723s monitor is the best of both worlds. The 1723s tower is supposed to be quite large and heavy so the monitor is probably a nice comprise. 😁 Let me know what you get and how you like it.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist only issue I see is that the monitors are pretty much the same width but, I have to get stands for them anyway which will take up almost the same floor space.
I think they will work but I a little hesitant to fully recommend because of the word “smallish”. They 1961 speakers are also very good and smaller than the 1723S so you should think about them as well. My review: Arendal Sound 1961 Tower Review ua-cam.com/video/azQl_l0-84M/v-deo.html
If you're looking for punch, then the 280F is better. The 1723s is smoother and natural sounding. It delivers punch when necessary but you need to turn the volume up. The Klipsch horn design is very efficient and deliver a nice punch even at relatively low volume.
I'm using the Monoprice stands located here: amzn.to/3PQ6HmQ They are sturdy and the speaker platform is large so I don't worry about them. My two drawbacks: no built in cable management and I don't think they're the best looking stands.
Seconding those. I thought it’d be an odd fit since the Surrounds S are pretty think Deep wise. Then I realized you can just turn the stand around so the Surround S takes up as much room on the stand instead of having the stand stick out the Deep side like regular Bookshelves do.
I’ve only heard the Prime Towers so I can’t say for sure. Would I take the Monitor S over the Prime Tower? Yes because the Monitor is more neutral and a bit smoother IMO. Hopefully this helps. 🙂
I haven’t heard the Ultras in my room so I can’t say. Based on my prime tower experience I would say the arendals are smoother and more dynamic. While the primes were a bit more analytical in their approach.

Obviously I don't have the bookshelf but I assume the sound (tonality, clarity, detail) is the same based on my experience. The only difference is the surround does a much better job of surrounding the seating position.
