Same speaker now tested in the vertical position.

Arendal Sound Hits a Home Run - 1961 Monitor Loudspeaker Review

We review the Arendal Sound 1961 Monitor, featuring an MTM & waveguide design built with similar DNA to their venerable 1723 series but in a more compact affordable package at $1,100/pair. Home run!

That was tested here as well (just swap vertical/horizontal results).

Any idea if this would pair well with Revel Concerta2 M16 front speakers?

As in you want to purchase one and use it as a center channel? Or you want to set up a 5 channel system with the pair of revels?

Thanks for the reply. I have a set of Revels for the fronts and was wondering if the 1961 would make a good center speaker

It definitely would, but the 1723 is your better choice unless size is a factor.

According to the Arendal website they are retiring the entire 1961 line,I'm curious as to what the replacement will be,or if there will be one.

Meanwhile, bookshelf 1961 speakers are no longer available.

It's a pity that we only recently arrived at this forum. Arendal Audio got to know speakers in this way. We had never heard of it until two weeks ago. It's a shame that their 1961 series has now been retired because most of its models are no longer available.
Could one of their ambassadors be Amir?...
