#118 Arendal 1723 Subwoofer 1V: $2,050 Arendal Sound $2,050 eBay
Same family: the Arendal 1723 Subwoofer 1S (smaller subwoofer, rated 3.9/5), the Arendal 1723 Subwoofer 2S (larger subwoofer, ranked higher, rated 4.1/5) and the Arendal 1723 Subwoofer 2V (larger subwoofer, ranked higher, rated 4.2/5).
Pros: A rear ported 13.8 inch subwoofer with good deep bass headroom for movies and balanced XLR input. Independent CEA-2010 testing records 106.9 dB at 20 Hz and 116.5 dB through 40-80 Hz. The ported, rear enclosure with 13.8” (351mm) driver has the headroom for demanding film bass in a large room.
Cons: The 624.8H x 449.8W x 549.9D mm cabinet and 48.1 kg mass make this a serious placement and moving commitment. Ported output does not solve room modes, so careful placement and calibration remain essential.
Is the Arendal 1723 Subwoofer 1V right for you?

- you need to move it often (48 kg each).
