The new 1723 S speakers are a direct supplement to the
1723 Series. They are built to the same quality level and
have the same feature and core parts as the rest of our
critically acclaimed Arendal Sound 1723 speakers. The
goal with 1723 S was to add a matching set of smaller
sized speakers, which would seamlessly match the 1723
Series without any form of timbre matching issues
whatsoever. Not everyone can have the larger 1723
speakers with the big 8” drivers in their living room or
in tight spaces. We have been asked hundreds of times to
introduce a smaller speaker with the same qualities as
the 1723 series. We did deliver and we are very happy to
announce the 1723 S speakers. S for Small.
A key requirement was that the 1723 S speakers should
match the 1723 lineup allowing customers to mix and
match within the same series without any bottleneck
factors. If you have a pair of 1723 Tower and do not
have the space for a 1723 Center and 1723 Surrounds,
Center S and Surround S will be perfect alternatives.
The 1723 S speakers are smaller, with same quality and
timbre match as its bigger brothers.
S FOR SMALL.
I was born and raised in Arendal 1978, Norway. As a kid I
enjoyed many activities, such as catching fish for my cat
Johnas, riding my bike, playing football and video games,
and hanging out with friends. Of course not a day went by
without wrestling with my older brother Dan Benny.
My dad, Jan, founded an electronic store in the 70´s and it
quickly became the top selling store of it’s kind throughout
Norway. On a good Saturday it was not unusual to sell
40-50 color TV’s, which were hot tech at the time. Today
he spends his elder days as a fisherman, just like my
grandfather Olav before him.
During my younger days there was rarely a weekend when
I was not (somewhat reluctantly!) dragged out of bed on
a Saturday morning to help sell my grandfather’s catch
from the night before to the neighbourhood. I was often
told “your grandfather has caught a lot of fish, you need
to help him sell it”. Dragging all the fish with me, I walked
several kilometers and knocked on many doors utilizing
some maybe desperate sales tactics to charm the older
ladies. My customers may have felt sorry for me seeing
me walk around with fish, but I was able to sell them and
returned home with pockets full of money. My grandfather
gave me a cut of the sales so I could buy candy and save
the rest in order to purchase more audio products. These
were some of the best memories of my childhood.
As you may have guessed, I was introduced to the audio
world at a very early age. When I turned 14 I started to
work part time at my dad’s store. When your hobby is
electronics and you work in such an environment you
get the urge to purchase and test as many products as
you can, which I did with great joy. Normally, instead of a
paycheck, I brought home new speakers or amplifiers that
had to be tested. My very first setup was a stereo system
with some huge speakers which could play very loud.
It was hugely annoying to my mother. Does that sound
familiar?
It’s one thing to have fun with audio equipment, but
another very different thing to understand it. I studied
electronics for 8 years, graduated from Grimstad with an
engineering degree and was lucky enough to get a job in
the oil industry. After working in the oil industry for a
while, I knew that it wasn’t the field for me. Audio was my
passion and that’s what I wanted to work with.
With 15 years of business experience in the audio industry
and after shipping tens of thousands of audio products
throughout Europe and beyond, I wanted something else.
Something of our own which had been lingering in the air
for many years. At our 10th anniversary, what better way
to celebrate and continue the story, than with the release
of our own speaker brand?
The idea of Arendal Sound was born.
It was no coincidence. We’ve spent years researching,
listening to our customers, planning, developing,
engineering and investing in Arendal Sound. I always
wanted our team to have something to be extraordinarily
proud of and enthusiastic about. It had to be something
that was based on solid acoustic engineering principles
STORY OF ARENDAL
and yet aesthetically beautiful, surrounded by a unique
story - ours. Arendal Sound builds upon traditional and
historic Norwegian elements, where solid craftsmanship
and finish quality are a top priority, backed with pleasure
in the use and pride in the ownership. We even want to
show our beautiful country to our overseas customers and
invite them to Norway.
We areafamilyand team with the same mentality and goal,
to create market leading products, packed with incredible
value, backed with our highly acclaimed customer support
that extends beyond the date of purchase.
To me, business comes second and at the end of the day,
it’s my family who are most important. Without them it
would have been hard. I would especially like to thank
my wife, Heidi, as she has been by my side all this time
showing extreme patience and understanding. And of
course my two little kids, Marcus and Leander, they are
the dessert in life as my mom and dad say.
We hope you will enjoy our products as much as we
enjoyed making them.

The 1723 Tower S is a downscaled version of the 1723 Tower.
It features a completely custom built 2.5-way lineup of
mid-bass drivers and a waveguide tweeter you cannot find
anywhere else. The materials, quality, drivers and crossover
components are just the same as you would expect from
any of the 1723 speakers. The only difference is smaller
enclosure with 6.5” drivers in 1723 Tower S, instead of the 8”
in the 1723 Tower. The sheer performance, level of detail and
dynamics delivered by Tower S is unheard of in this price
category. Expect the Tower S to be compared to much higher
priced speakers on the market.
