    Edge of Tomorrow "only" goes down to 10Hz. It's 5 x single frequency tones - 30Hz,25Hz,20Hz,15Hz and 10Hz - so technically the 1723 2V did play it all back

      @PragmaticTornado 2 года назад

      After testing that sequence on my 1723 2V sub, I set up the subsonic filter to start rolling off at 20hz - I couldn't feel anything at all on the 10hz part. Maybe it's my room (40 square meters, fairly big living room).

    I've been eagerly waiting someone to do a review on the new line of subs, thanks Shane! So to summarise, Arendal have extended the response to provide more low end, but stuck to their 'dynamics' ethos. So it's the same dilemma we face with the old line of Arendal subs. Would you prefer a fatter, gruntier sound? If so then go SVS. Or do you prefer a more lean faster paced sound? If so, then go Arendal. That is, until price comes into it. On paper, the 1723 2S is the same as the SB4000 but two SB4000's cost £3598 (black gloss) whereas two 2S's cost £4200 (black gloss). To put that into perspective, that's dangerously close to the same price point as two PB4000's! (£4498 gloss black). On the contrary two 1V's cost just £3400. So do you sacrifice a bit of power and gain more in extension with the two Arendal ported subs, or do you have more power an sacrifice a bit of extension with two SVS sealed subs within the same price range?

      @AWSimDrifter 4 года назад +2

      I wouldn't. As usual REL is too focused on being musical, even with their 'home theatre' line. They have a -6db@21Hz response. Yeeah no thank you. Arendal is the best middle ground. SVS digs deep but is fat and slow, Arendal doesn't dig as deep but is lean and much faster paced. REL's punch is so shallow it's more like a slap but it delivers those slaps at a much faster pace than Arendal's and SVS's punches. Usually a fast paced shallow punch is better for music and well, REL have their traditional subs for that so the Predator line really has no place.

      @Bork0r Год назад +1

      @@medic17508 I have two 1723 2s right now. Im happy with them 😀 plenty of power and honestly, I don’t use their full potential. I think that the most important feature is the app control. I would never go back to using a sub without app control. Its so critical to be able to control volume and eq to tune them well in your room when watching material that are mixed at different levels.
      Honestly, i think both A2S and SvsSB16 will probably satisfy. However, if you have room and finances, I’d be considering their ported alternatives for ultimate no compromise performance. So the question is sealed or vented, not svs or arendal.
      If you can go to get a demo of a vented sub vs a sealed sub you’ll know what’s right for you.
      Do you currently own any subs? Or will this be your first purchase?
      Since im thinking about it… given what I know today, Id probably go for dual SVS 3000 micro or smaller sealed alternatives since I do have some space constraints to deal with. If i had more space, or a dedicated room id 100% go for a vented sub. The 2s are great subs, but if you can go big, go huge 😀

    I suspect you’ll be hard pressed to find a single cabinet dual sub with built in DSP, 7 filters and solid output down to 10 Hz at this price point. Impressive to say the least. The LED screen while very nice is probably unnecessary especially once you have the app

    • @PragmaticTornado
      @PragmaticTornado 2 года назад +2

      It is - until the app stops working due to lack of updates, new phone which is not supported, BT module on the sub fails or a multitude of other reasons. The LED screen is one of the reasons why I bought one of these over the B&W flagship sub, which has ZERO controls on it whatsoever - only an app that hardly works at all.
      Coming from an IT background, I'm all about the redundancies though.

    Hey Shane I’m a big fan of your videos. Helped me a lot with my home theatre journey.
    I am making a big decision and I really needed your opinion as you have tested the Perlisten lineup as well as these Arendal subs I have my eyes on.
    Compared to the Perlisten R series ( I am highly considering R215S) would these Arendal 1723 2V be just as good? The Perlistens are significantly more here in Canada (7500 before taxes for the R215S) or I can get the 1723 2V for $5000 CAD.
    You have also recently tested the r210s. How are those compared to the Arendal?
    Right now I have a single SVS PB2000 pro and I’m craving that low frequency feel to the body and pressurization.

      I know the D series would be endgame but it’s way out of my budget in Canada.
      My seating position is 6-7 ft away from the front stage speakers and sub and my room is 12X12.
      I just don’t want to deal with that mechanical noise at low frequencies you discussed in the PSA subwoofer.
      If the Arendal don’t have that issue I will definitely go with it. But if you think Perlisten R215S is worth it over Arendal then I’ll highly consider even with the price difference

And Shane's REW attests to that.
