If Arendal isn’t a familiar name, you are not alone. Until this review, we had never reviewed a product from this Norwegian speaker specialist, but having spent some time in the 1528 Bookshelf 8’s company, we’re now glad we did. While not quite fully rounded, these speakers offer an interesting alternative to the more conventional class leaders at this level.
You won’t find Arendal’s products in your local dealer. The company operates on a direct-to-customer model that bypasses traditional dealers and distributors (and their respective margins), allowing the brand to offer its products at hugely competitive prices.
