#24 Arendal Sound 1528 Center 8: $4,199 each Estimated Arendal Sound eBay
Same family: the Arendal Sound 1528 Bookshelf 8 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 4.4/5), the Arendal 1528 Monitor 8 (larger bookshelf, rated 4.4/5) and the Arendal Sound 1528 Tower 8 (floorstanding, estimated 4.5/5).
Pros: A 3-way center from the 1528 series with the 5” midrange and 28mm waveguide tweeter of the measured 1528 Monitor 8 between two 8” woofers (crossovers at 420Hz and 2.8kHz). The dedicated midrange keeps dialogue consistent across a wide seating area, and bass reaches 35Hz (-3dB).
Cons: 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 1528 Monitor 8. Sensitivity is 85dB into 4 ohms, and it is 808mm wide and 47kg.
