At first glance, the tweeter waveguide reminded me of the Neumann tweeter waveguide.

Uh… It seems like the designer loses and engineer wins this time.
That is literally the opposite of the conclusion:Not so good, especially for that pricing …

Die Arendal vereint in sich ein spannendes und zeitloses Design, eine durchdachte akustische Abstimmung und einen faszinierenden Klang – und das zu einem Preis, der konkurrenzlos ist.
I didn’t even read the subjective review, only looked at the measurements. Meh. But, agree they aren’t terrible.That is literally the opposite of the conclusion:
Ah! There are some measurements hidden far away in the image slider .I didn’t even read the subjective review, only looked at the measurements. Meh. But, agree they aren’t terrible.

The midrange looks a bit rough, otherwise fairly okay. But these measurements are in-room, so I wouldn’t draw too many conclusions from it. It possibly shows some strange off-axis anomalies if I compare to some of the other speakers measured there. All in all, not super conclusive.
Pricey! Guess it goes with they new mantra1528 Series - The Saga Continues
You wanted a bigger center speaker – we created the largest on the market. You asked for a thin, shallow-depth design for flexible placement – we heard you. You desired full-range sound…arendalsound.com
Looks pretty cool
Ouch I guess they now are just another pricey brand! Selling direct their profit margins must be very good! Especially since they are made in ChinaPricing is as follows:
1528 Tower 8 = 9500 euro
1528 Monitor 8 = 5900 euro
1528 Bookshelf 8 = 4500 euro
1528 Center 8 = 2900 euro
1528 Center+ 8 = 4700 euro
1528 Slim 8 = 3500 euro
Well, to me it looks like the designer got the last word and put that circle around the two drivers.View attachment 394665

I just checked the web, and they are taking an intelligent approach, at least as to the slims, which are IMO the most interesting in the line by far (says the Gem2 owner…). They will sell a pair, a trio, or full immersive sets.It's per pair.
Pretty steep for what they appear to be, but I will wait to judge until I see measurements... I know the brand has a good reputation.
