THORS HAMMER | Arendal 1723 Monitor THX | nur für Heimkino oder geht ernsthaftes HiFi?

"Very powerful for a 2-way speaker," was my first thought. Arendal is a relatively unknown company in Germany and aims to bridge the gap between home theater and hi-fi. Find out in the video whether they've succeeded. *************************************- ... Link to the speaker: https://arendalsound.com/product/1723... The Facebook group mentioned in the video can be found here:   / 1423140687789460   My video on reverse-engineering the crossover is this one:    • SO GEHT'S | Wie erkenne ich die Schaltung ...   The components in the notch filter should have the following specifications: 100µH air-core inductor with a minimum wire diameter of 1.4mm (e.g., Mundorf M-BL140-010) 47µF MKP capacitor (e.g., Mundorf M-mcap-4700s) 6.8 Ohm MOX 10W resistor The resistor determines the damping. For more damping, use the next higher value. The amplifier is then connected directly to the lower terminals (bass branch). The jumper to the positive terminal is removed and replaced by the resonant circuit (all components in parallel). Have fun experimenting! Note: I strive to test independently and transparently. This also means that I don't accept payment for my work. Further details can be found at the very bottom in the "Channel Philosophy" section. ~~SUPPORT Did this video help you and would you like to show your appreciation?

I request these from the manufacturer/distributor and usually receive them as free samples. Therefore, nothing is shown "at the request of a manufacturer," but only things that are of interest to me or you. And there is no monetary compensation for this ("money for testing"). The exception is paid advertising, which is then clearly and explicitly declared as such in the video. This serves to finance the channel in general. This is a presentation of my development work and technical information without warranty or guarantee. This is just one example of how it could be built. Any construction or reproduction is done at your own risk. This applies to compliance with technical specifications, operational safety, as well as the success and sound of any reproduction. Any liability for damages is excluded.
