Arendal Sound 1723 1S & 1V Subwoofer Review

Also the arendals have flatter response and increased low end

They also have lower group delay. Some mention that the SVS subs are harder to integrate with their speakers when it comes to music

That seems more like a problem with compensating for the delay from DSP, which is trivial with AVRs and room-correction, but might be difficult with music-only systems. Arendal might have somewhat lower delay in that regard than SVS, without knowing for sure.

Are those the people that want a high pass on their mains?

@shadyJ how would the 1723 1S compare to the SVS SB3000? I am having a major dilemma

I preferred the 1S to the SB3000 and much preferred it to the SB4000.

I could never get the SB4000 to sound natural in my room ( always sounded bottom heavy with a lack of midbass).
