Arendal submits their subwoofers to third party reviewers and the results and CEA-2010 numbers have been favorable. The owner of PSA does not support having his subs receiving third party reviews which would yield CEA-2010 numbers. I always wonder why? If they would test well why would he avoid this?
I’ve wondered the same thing for a long time. I’ve been in enough threads with him, and owners, many of which used to own other high end subs, that I’d be comfortable buying from him. I mean he confounded arguably the most successful subwoofer company ever. I’ve also seen plenty of users measurements to go along with their stories.
FWIW, I don’t care if anyone buys anything from Tom ever. My thoughts are that he’s proven himself, and has even recommended other brands if it fit the customer better.
