Arendal 1723 2S Subwoofer (Active / Powered) Hello all! Up for sale is my Arendal 1723 2S Sealed Sub in matte white. In excellent as new condition and in full working order. This thing will blow your socks off, rattle your windows and make you unpopular with your neighbours! I have decided to get something a bit smaller so testing the waters to sell this. I have the box, instructions etc. it’s in excellent condition, no marks or damage from a smoke/pet free home. I have the receipt and it has the remainder of the 10 year transferable warranty (7 years). I believe these retail currently for a
At A$2,500, this sits above the recent used-market median of A$1,946 and even clears the 75th percentile at A$2,119, so it reads ambitious rather than fair for a normal used sale. Compared with the 25th percentile at A$1,773, you’re paying a meaningful premium, which is only easy to justify if this is unusually complete, near-mint, or has standout provenance.
That said, Monitor Audio’s bigger floorstanders are typically bought for their scale, clean midrange, and energetic, room-filling presentation, so a clean example can still be a very worthwhile buy if you want serious home-theatre and music performance in one package. If the listing includes the original boxes, grilles, and a well-documented single-owner history, that helps—but at this price I’d want excellent condition and proof there’s no driver or cabinet wear.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Monitor Audio, a British hi-fi mainstay, traces its origins to 1972 when founder Mo Iqbal established the company in a modest factory near Cambridge, England. Starting with hands-on loudspeaker assembly in a garage-like setting, it quickly professionalized, moving to Rayleigh, Essex, in 1976 for in-house manufacturing. This heritage of meticulous British engineering has endured through expansions, including a 2004 shift of production to China while retaining design leadership in Essex, alongside strategic acquisitions like Roksan in 2016 and Blok in 2019.
The brand excels in loudspeakers across diverse categories, from high-fidelity two-channel stereo models to advanced home cinema systems, architectural installations, outdoor speakers, and lifestyle solutions. Signature innovations like the patented C-CAM Gold Dome tweeters, introduced in the 1980s and continually refined, define its sound. Complementing these are amplifiers, streamers, and integrated audio systems, reflecting a broad portfolio that prioritizes proprietary driver technologies and precise enclosure design over peripheral gear like turntables or headphones.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Monitor Audio commands respect for delivering audiophile-grade performance at accessible price points, blending relentless innovation with timeless British craftsmanship. Over five decades, it has solidified its status as a global juggernaut, appealing to discerning buyers seeking refined, dynamic sound without boutique exclusivity or vintage nostalgia.
