Arendal Sound 1528 Bookshelf 8 Loudspeaker Review!

The @ArendalSound 1528 Bookshelf 8 (MSRP: $4,500/pair) is a 3-way standmount speaker featuring an 8" aluminum cone bass driver, a 5" carbon/graphene midrange, and a 1.1" lithium/magnesium dome tweeter. With subwoofer-like bass extension and extreme output capability, could this be the best speaker in its category? I provide extensive listening test results from the @AHSmarthome theater and guest room systems, along with in-room measurements. I also discuss impedance and sensitivity to help make proper amplifier recommendations to get the best sound from these amazing Norwegian speakers. 👉 Read our Arendal Sound 1528 Monitor 8: Review: https://www.audioholics.com/bookshelf-speaker-reviews/arendal-sound-1528 👉 Read our Arendal Sound 1528 Tower 8 Review: https://www.audioholics.com/tower-speaker-reviews/arendal-1528-tower-8 👉 Learn about the Arendal 1528 Series: https://arendalsound.com/series/1528-series/?refer=gds 🛒 Arendal Sound 1528 Bookshelf 8: https://arendalsound.com/product/1528-bookshelf-8/?refer=gds 🛒 Arendal Sound 1528 Tower 8: https://bit.ly/ArendalTower1528 🛒 Arendal Sound 1528 Center+ 8: https://arendalsound.com/product/1528-center-plus-8/?refer=gds 🛒 Arendal Sound 1528 Monitor 8: https://arendalsound.com/product/1528-monitor-8/?refer=gds 🛒 Arendal Sound 1723 Tower: https://bit.ly/Arendal1723tower 🛒 Arendal 1723 Tower S: https://bit.ly/Arendal1723s 🛒 Arendal 1723 Center S: https://bit.ly/3c2Zfos 🛒 Arendal 1723 Surround S: https://bit.ly/3uA2OZG 🛒 Arendal 1723 1V Subwoofer: https://bit.ly/3nSeweI ► Shop Dreamedia AV: https://dreamediaav.com/?ref=3 👉 Book your FREE custom home theater design service NOW: https://bit.ly/HTDesign Recommended AV Receivers: AudioControl XR8S: https://bit.ly/AudioControlXR8S Marantz Cinema 30: https://bit.ly/MarantzCinema30 Recommended Speakers: Perlisten S7t Limited Edition: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS7tLE Perlisten S7t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS7towers Perlisten R7t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR7t Perlisten R5t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR5t Perlisten S3ic: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS3ic Perlisten R3ic: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR3ic RBH Sound SI-760/R: https://bit.ly/RBHSoundSI760R RBH Sound SI-815/RL: https://bit.ly/RBH815RL-ceiling Audioholics Recommended Cables: 250ft CL2 12AWG Speaker Cable: https://amzn.to/2vwS9QH 50ft 10AWG Speaker Cable: https://amzn.to/3DeMTT5 Locking Banana Plugs: https://amzn.to/2ZQt15x 9ft 4K HDR HDMI Cables: https://amzn.to/2WiIXeD Klipsch RP-8000F II: https://amzn.to/3M2Mt8n THX Short Reach 48Gbps HDMI Cables: https://bit.ly/THXHDMI-short THX Long Reach 48Gbps HDMI Cables: https://bit.ly/THXHDMI-long 00:00 - Introduction 1:04 Arendal Sound Policy 1:20 Design Details 01:54 Bookshelf 8 Tech Specs Montage 2:51 Bookshelf 8 Sensitivity 03:40 Jhené Aiko 4:45 High Current Amp 5:05 1528 Driver Design 05:23 Jhené Aiko - cont 05:42 Phil Collins 07:02 Gregory Porter 07:30 Radiohead 08:03 - Peter Cincotti 8:55 Best in Category? 09:13 - 1528 Bookshelf 8 Pros & Cons 10:57 - B&W 805 D4 Signature Quick Comparison 11:15 - Amplifier Recommendations 12:18 - Bloopers Disclosure: Audioholics earns commissions from qualifying purchases with the Affiliate Links used in the description of this video.
