Got POWER? Bargain Bookshelf?

ARENDAL 1528 Bookshelf - 83db Need Power

Jays Inagi’s YouTube review (New Reference System Tour! This Speaker Ruined Every Competition in 2025) included:

High quality construction: better box materials and time aligned, very high quality transducers, excellent performance including ample bass.
5.2k is not inexpensive, but you get a lot of value for the money.

No affiliation, just passing on what looks like a sonic bargain

A reviewer will praise anything if he is paid sufficiently!

I’ve not heard them, but from all the reviews I’ve read, including Jay’s PS Audio Aspen 5’s can be had right now for just under $4k including stands.  These are on my target acquisition list.  Just sayin.

@jerrytomb   +1   Welcome to Audiogon!  I'm not a cynical Audiophile but there is a lot of BS in this industry. My best advice is get out there and listen, ask questions and research the product you might consider buying, Take reviews as a guideline not as a purchasing validation. Remember you are the most important audio reviewer.

I appreciate that sentiment.  I have followed this forum for about 2 years having shared a comment only a few times.  Like you said, lots of BS out in the ether, but also good information.  Happy New Year!
