220lbs of Dynamic Cinematic Carnage AND Audiophile Bliss? | Arendal 1723 Review

*Description:*

Well, hello there. I've been a little sick, and I hope I can get through this without hacking up a lung. Bear with me. Thank you.

Today on New Record Day, I'm excited to dive into the Arendal 1723 Tower Speakers, priced at $3899 for the pair. These are a competent, well-made loudspeaker that offers deep, powerful bass and top-end extension. While they can be a little forward at times, this can be tamed with speaker positioning and tubes.

Arendal may not be exclusively a home theater company, but many folks eyeing these speakers are probably both 2-channel enthusiasts and multichannel dabblers. Think along the lines of SVS and Klipsch. For today's review, I'm focusing on the audiophile music experience with the 1723 Towers.

Let's get into the details:

**Specifications**: The 1723s are large, standing 45 inches tall, 11 inches wide, and 16 inches deep, weighing 111 pounds each. They feature a two-and-a-half-way design with port plugs, black and white finish options, slanted cabinets, and magnetic grills.

**Drivers and Build Quality**: A soft dome tweeter, four treated paper cone woofers, and a robust design. They have excellent build quality, despite being made in China.

**Listening Impressions**: The sound can be a bit forward, but using tubes like the Gallion TS120 in class A mode can balance this. The treble is precise, though slightly lacking in air and ambience. The midrange is clean and detailed, especially in female vocals. The bass is deep and tight, with the option to use port plugs for customization.

**Soundstage**: Impressive imaging and a massive soundstage, great for both home theater and 2-channel listening.

Join me for an in-depth review, sound clips, and measurements to see if these speakers are the right fit for you. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments!
