Thanks to you and villa man introducing me to arendal, I bought the old 1.5 vented subwoofer, and it integrated so well in my house and simply sounded incredible.these subwoofers are really something special , fills the room and are not easily localised (atoms type bass) ..

@danielwander605 3 года назад

Moved from a 7 channel klipsch RP system to an arendal system back in March. Been so Happy with the move. The build quality is fantastic and I can’t say enough about their dynamics and control. Definitely worth a look for people in the States. I had to pay customs on some of my orders and some I didn’t but I still think a solid value even with the extra fee. I also prefer the more neutral tone but that may just be preference

The Arendal instruction manual humor reminds me of my car audio days when I purchased my Audiocontrol EQX. They printed little jokes throughout the manual and on the box such as "Do not deep fry or sautee". I REALLY appreciate the round magnetic grill, beveled edges, amp display, 7 band EQ. It appears that they make a fine product...a lot to like here. The future phone app will be a huge bonus as well. Thanks for the review on these Youthman!

I'm surprised more companies don't develop dual opposed subwoofer designs given the size and performance. I hope you're able to review either of the Dual Opposed Rythmik G22 Direct Servo or the G25HP Direct Servo subwoofer one day.

@EvanZamir Год назад

Me too! Been wondering about this for many years since I bought a Sonos subwoofer which is dual opposed design.

@wadimek116 Год назад

there are many disadvantages. Fist is cost of 2 drivers. Second, depending if both drivers are in phase or against we will get different benefits and disadvantages. I don't really see a point in commercial running dual drivers in phase in such small enclosure so Its probably isobaric. The advantage is deeper extension but not increased spl by much in normal range. Still more affordable is buying dual lower class subs. If you can buy those at pair then you can buy big ported sub which will crash it in subbass extension. Those are nice subs if we want some deeper extension at quite small size. What we lose is potential bang for buck or higher spl with bigger box and driver.

Watched this one before - and dont know why I thought back then that you ran it vented mode. Now I can see foam is inserted in the back - menu states sealed and you mention 17 hz as bottom freq. 15 hz is eq 1 vented mode and 17 hz eq 1 is sealed mode. So you reached 10 hz 100 db in sealed mode ? Amazing ! This sub is is for the Europe people - you will have import tax on this one - same as we get when we buy a US sub. Could be my next sub - was looking at PSA tv 2112 but that price sky rockets for me in Denmark. Thank you so much for this review ! 👍. Btw does this sub hold the THX certification as the rest of the 1723 series speakers ?

Great review and shouting out fellow youtubers is classy. I have been seeing positive reviews on this subwoofer for awhile and they seem to hit the most important factors Size,Output, Features ,Looks and Price .My only concern is the customer service for the U.S. for parts etc?.I think that most of the popular direct Subwoofer sellers offer that great customer service .

So the 1723 surrounds were around $1500 and I had to pay on them. So I would think anything over 1k maybe

@jamiet74 3 года назад

You don't gain 3dB per driver. You get 3dB for every doubling cone area + 3dB for every doubling of power - so 6dB total

@Youthman 3 года назад

Thanks for the correction. I was only 3dB off. 🤣

@Babine125 3 года назад

Please show me the physics behind the urban legend that you get a gain of 3db just by doubling cone area (and keeping the same power and the same impedance to the amplifier).

@Youthman 3 года назад

It might be easier if you show us the physics on why it’s an urban legend.

@Babine125 3 года назад

@@Youthman Easy, where is the energy or power coming from to have a gain of 3db when you double the cone area? If that would be the case we would produce enclosures or speakers with a very high number of transducers and we would end up with an extremely high or almost infinite SPL with only one amplifier. Again, nothing is created and nothing is destroyed but everything is transformed.

Although this is a pretty cool sub, at 2900 in the states, I feel that there are better options such as Rhythmik, PSA and Monoprice for that amount of money. Not trying to throw shade on the subwoofer as I'm sure it's really good but I just don't see a serious market for it stateside with these other options being sold here!

Hi Michael! So regarding the stacking of subs yielding +3dB, I have a SVS PB3000 and thinking of adding one more. My theatre 's dimensions are fairly close to yours. I was considering placing the new PB3000 in the rear of the room, behind the main seating. Would you, instead, stack them or go with the front/rear scenario? Additionally, dies the +3dB apply to having two (2) subs regardless of placement in the room or only when stacked? Thanks! ~Mike

@Youthman 3 года назад

Hi Mike, I recommend using REW and a calibrated mic to find out where the best sub placement in your room is. Arendal mentions stacking as it’s easier to setup but you do lose the benefit of better seat to seat response if you have multiple seating in your room

@sherazdotnet 3 года назад

The graph you showed, is that taken after you took our the EQ you have in minidsp for your actual subs? Ported subs don't extend beyond their port so wondering it could extend that far out. Also stacking subs is not a good idea. It kills the purpose of having multiple subs which is to spread them around so that they can help each other out to fill the gaps. Double only gives you more output but doesn't fix any room issues.

@Youthman 3 года назад

I disconnected my miniDSP. The subs were connected directly to the Marantz AV7706. If you watch Soare Changes video, he was hitting 10Hz as well in his room.

Not sure. As I mentioned in another comment, because my RS2’s weigh 220lbs, they are not easy to move. I also have them dialed in with the mini DSP to get a flat response. Without the miniDSP, as you saw with the REW measurement of the Arendal, my room has some acoustic issues.

i have an old klipsch ksw15 , now i just noticed this sub has a port and is able to seal it , just wondering can i do that with my ksw15's rear port? what do you think will it harm it?

@Youthman 3 года назад

Unless the sub includes a foam insert from the manufacturer, I would not seal it. Typically those that do include inserts provide DSP settings to tell the sub the port has been closed. You will lose overall output with a sealed sub so unless you have multiple 18” subs that are sealed (like I do in my setup), you probably will not like the result.

@@Youthman thanks, one last question same sub if i lay it on its side so the sub is now front firing would that work?
