#25 Arendal Sound 1610 Center 8: $2,300 each Estimated Arendal Sound eBay

Same family: the Arendal Sound 1610 Bookshelf 8 (bookshelf, estimated 4.3/5) and the Arendal Sound 1610 Tower 8 (floorstanding, rated 4.4/5).

Pros: The 3-way center of the 1610 series, with a 5” midrange and 28mm tweeter between two 8” woofers (crossovers at 470Hz and 2.9kHz). Arendal specifies ±2.5dB from 52Hz to 20kHz, and the dedicated midrange keeps dialogue clear for side seats. Sensitivity is 88.6dB.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from Arendal’s published measurements of the 1610 Tower 8. It is 710mm wide, 24.2kg and a 4 ohm load.
