Arendal Subwoofers - How good are they ?

[hpdinesh]

I came to know about Arendal brand recently and their subwoofers looks impressive at least on paper based on their CEA-2010 measurements.
How good are they really?

Now that it's available in India with the distributor. Just wanted to know whether anyone bought it and get their feedback.
Their 1961 series are 12.2" and 1723 series are 13.8" woofers. Strangely, their 12" sealed subwoofer digs deeper than 13.8" sealed subwoofer.

Price also seems reasonable after discount when compared to SVS/Rythmik for similar performance. Any thoughts ?

CEA-2010 measurements of similar subwoofers which I could find in ASR forum:

The 1973 1V goes above 100dB from 16Hz (RMS @2M) which is good for a sub.. curious to know its MRP in India

12" digs deeper because it's sealed and the other one is ported.

No Prateek. I meant 12" sealed vs 13.8" sealed.
13.8" sealed doesn't dig deeper like 12"

If this is their MRP, the landed price makes it compete against the SVS PB2000 Pro, SB3000, Rythmik FVX12, and REL 1508..
The finish on these have high WAF as well

Ha ha.. True. It does looks nice. I was offered 20% discount as a Introductory offer since being a new brand. And moreover they provide 10 years warranty for 1723 series.

Drasis Software Solutions (Chennai) is the distributor I guess. You can refer Arendal site for the same.
