Neither one. Neither is impressive for your $10K. The specs on both are weak, and the Arden is weaker.
Do you have an idea of how they will actually sound? They are close to polar opposites in terms of the listening experience; do you understand that?
You want prodigious for $10K? Do the Legacy Audio Focus, either iteration. If I had limited means and could only have one speaker, the Focus would be on my short list of perhaps 3. Completely different ball game than these others.
Disclaimer: I have reviewed and owned several speakers from Legacy, including the Focus.
