#39 Arendal Sound 1528 Tower 8: $13,599 per pair 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 Center 8 (center, estimated 4.1/5).
Pros: Arendal’s flagship 3-way tower: a 28mm waveguide tweeter, a 5” midrange and four 8” woofers (crossovers at 420Hz and 2.8kHz). The measured 1528 Monitor 8, which shares the tweeter and midrange, scored a 5.59 Spinorama preference score. Arendal specifies ±2dB from 42Hz to 20kHz and 26Hz at -6dB, so it needs no subwoofer for music.
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. It weighs 79kg each, stands 1350mm tall and is a 4 ohm load.
