The build quality of the 1528 loudspeakers is so exceptional that other manufacturers would easily charge double Arendal’s prices.

I don't think I have ever been this excited about a loudspeaker that came in here, like ever, not like this.

It is rare to hear a floorstanding speaker that reaches such deep and clean bass so effortlessly — even with the reflex port plugged.
Hifimaailma Read review -
They’re almost monolithic… very substantial speakers, like a concrete brick. Extremely heavy and very well built.

The Arendals’ rich, realistic detailing across the board was possibly the best I’ve experienced in my listening room.
