Floorstanding

Although both speakers have the same tweeter and woofer, because the Arena 170 has a larger cabinet, it will produce deeper bass. This also means that the Arena 170 can handle more power, versus the Arena 130 speakers. Please see product spec. sheet and/or manual for more details.

"You can attached these spikes to your Arena 170 & Arena 180 at the bottom of the speaker. Use them for stability if you are placing your Arena 180/170 speakers on a thick rug or plush carpeting. The carpet spikes can be manually screwed into each foot on the base of the speaker."

Often, hum is caused by a ground loop. This is a problem that is sometimes created when connecting two or more electrical components together. Sometimes the problem does not lie in any one particular unit, but in how they're connected. If your subwoofer is connected to a different wall outlet than your system, try to move the subwoofer plug to the same outlet. This may require an extension cord just for the trial. If it works, you can permanently move the sub or use an extension cord. However, if the hum you are hearing is coming from inside the sub, or if it is constant even when nothing is connected to the inputs of the sub, there is something wrong with the sub and you should bring it in for service.

It's matter of preference and choice, but our biggest speaker, Arena 180, will have the most powerful sound , but also requires some space. Our bookshelf speakers, Arena 120 & Arena 130, are also a nice addition to your home system, and will also provide powerful sound. These can be wall-mounted, which you might prefer over floor standing speakers. All of the Arena series will provide a good audio experience, so you won't go empty handed with any of them!

No, Arena cannot be bi-wired. Arena series has normal + and - analog input connections.
