Hey Barrett, how do you think the Arendal compares to the Captivator 2400?

@SpecOfTech 3 месяца назад

I can't remember for certain, but if I remember correct the JTR has more output. Sound quality is pretty comparable IMO.

@angeltomascrespomartinez6235 3 месяца назад

Greetings from Spain, I have been impressed with your legacy audio. I have Arenal 1723. You could review them and if I wanted to get a much better system, would I notice a big difference if I switched to legacy audio? and invest the big price difference?

@SpecOfTech 3 месяца назад

There is a noticeable difference in sound quality and clarity between the 1723 and Legacy speakers. So, yes, you would notice an improvement. I can't answer whether or not that difference would be worth it for you personally though, everyone is different.

@PinkstonFilms 3 месяца назад

You should add Dune to the demo mix, especially when the ships are landing, my 2 x Klipsch SPL-150 pressurized my room during that scene like crazy. I’ve been looking at getting maybe 2 x 1723 2S to replace those as I need a smaller footprint but something that will still kick…

@SpecOfTech 3 месяца назад

@RobZelinka 3 месяца назад

Great video. Thank you for doing this. How would you compare these to the JTR Cap 2400's?

@SpecOfTech 3 месяца назад

I'd have to check my room measurements to confirm this, but I'm quite certain the CAP2400 has more output. I can't say there is a noticeable difference in their sound quality. At least nothing that I heard. JTR subwoofers really are the HT kings. Their output is hard to beat for their price.

@RobZelinka 3 месяца назад

@@SpecOfTech I suspect you’re right about JTR having more output. I would submit that what Ascendo is doing will rival what JTR is doing, of course we are talking about different price ranges here and a completely different approach altogether

@sammy10001 3 месяца назад

Reiterating my earlier note about data down to 5hz. Thank you sir. It's way more useful than any Cea burst test that is done outside, by other reviewers... Way better to see in room infrasonic data with interaction of room gain.

I love Legacy gear, but their subwoofers carry a high price tag for their performance. No doubt they perform great, and I know they look amazing.

@markpommett5712 3 месяца назад

@@SpecOfTech Makes sense. I rather pay the premium for the main speakers!

@MattyDaddy14 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the review buddy! 🎉. I’ve had my eye on the 2S for some time now cause I like the thought of being able to add on even bigger sealed subs in the future. But what I’m really trying to find is a sealed solution that performs at infrasonic levels but still “musical/tight” bass. I’m guessing I’ll have to go with a couple 14”-16” sealed subs and one super sub like an 18”-“24*I wish). Any way, I’m curious if 2 of the 2S subs would do the trick or do you think go with the 2V and run sealed if needed?? Kinda seems like best of both worlds if you get the 2V and run them ported until future funds are available? Yeah? Ps. The port of these in the back and each sub faces sideways, I noticed in your video, the subs faced front to back? Did you move them for testing? 🎉

@SpecOfTech 3 месяца назад

I did move them for testing. I had to have a driver showing so I could film it. I go over that in the video also. I would go with 2 of the 2V and run them in sealed mode...cheers.

@AT-wl9yq 3 месяца назад

Infrasonic are frequencies below 20hz. Not sure why you would want something like that. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't see why you would want it. Either way, for musically tight bass, the most important spec to consider is Q. Low Q is cleaner & faster, and works best for music. Higher Q subs are less controlled and have more of a home theater sound to them. Some subs have adjustable Q. In my opinion, adjustable Q is the best way to go because it gives you the most tuning options. I don't like telling people what to do, but I would highly recommend you don't buy based on driver size. There are too many variables involved. The overall design of the sub is far more important.

@JamaicaSocial 3 месяца назад

I'm curious, what volume level do you normally listen at?

@SpecOfTech 3 месяца назад

I usually don't listen at excessive volumes, I value my hearing too much. On my AVM90 I'm usually somewhere around -24 db, but it really depends on how hot the source signal is.

I would have liked to review the PSA subwoofers, but Tom doesn't like having his products reviewed. As a matter of fact, given my past interactions with him, he hates reviewers. I wish he would change it outlook, because his customers would love to see more reviews of his products.

What a shame that Arendals marketing ended up spoiling what was a good channel. One would have to be crazy to pick this up over a JTR. Oh well....$$$ talks

@SpecOfTech 3 месяца назад

lol your assumptions always lack logic, but you are entitled to them. Good to hear you are a big JTR fan, so am I.

@brucecarter6205 2 месяца назад

JTR being a better sub doesn’t make the Arendal a bad sub. Your logic is seriously flawed. Does this mean that nobody should buy a JTR, because Ascendo makes 32”, 50”, and 80” subs that outperform them?

@eliashabash7591 3 месяца назад

Where was the comparisons to other subs in this price range. I dont need a full blown comparison video but you have to at least mention other subs. I expect every sub in this price range to have good performance. But it means nothing really without a reference How about conpare it to the Rythmik FV25hp If the Rythmik has more output at all frequencies and SQ is better at the same price.. what does this sub have going for it that you say “this is why you buy this sub” Think of it like reviewing a 100k sport lexus. Yes the lexus is nice. It better be for the price. But it enters more competition and if the lower end Porsches are flat out better then the lexus is no longer “good” Thats what i look for in reviews Price is everything and we need a comparative reference

@brucecarter6205 3 месяца назад

Not fair. The review is solid, even with out mention of price and comparisons to other subs. Maybe that will come in a future video. Better yet, why not ask the question here in the comments?

@SpecOfTech 3 месяца назад

You seem intelligent enough to use this information for your own comparisons...cheers!

@shaolin95 3 месяца назад

That is the clear red flag of a "sponsored review" ... clearly avoiding to compare to better competitors like jtr.

@SpecOfTech 3 месяца назад

@@shaolin95 You know what is a read flag of a sponsored review? When I mark it as a sponsored review and tell you it's sponsored. This is what I would do if the review was sponsored. You're entitled to your false assumptions though 😉. I find it funny that you make that assumption if I don't compare the subwoofer to the subwoofer you wanted me to compare it to. So with your logic, I need to compare it to every subwoofer in the relative price range, or my video is sponsored. Do you honestly think that is possible lol. Thanks for the laugh bud!
