Arendal Sound 1723 Tower S THX vs Nubert nuVero nova 14

Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 4.2/5 (#106 and #109 of 226 floorstanding speakers), so choose on features and fit.

The case for the Arendal Sound 1723 Tower S THX: The smaller tower of the THX certified 1723 S line, pairing the 28mm waveguide tweeter with four 6.5” woofers. The tradeoff: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured 1723 S models.

What the Nubert nuVero nova 14 does well: A three-way tower in the Nubert nuVero nova 9 family with two 101mm carbon midranges and three 168mm carbon woofers, rated to 27Hz (-3dB). Watch for: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers.

Buy the Arendal Sound 1723 Tower S THX or the Nubert nuVero nova 14 on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.

About the ratings: neither speaker has been measured yet, so both ratings are estimated from measured siblings and predecessors (likely ranges: Arendal Sound 1723 Tower S THX 3.9 to 4.4; Nubert nuVero nova 14 3.9 to 4.5). Treat this verdict as provisional.
