Monitor Audio Vestra Subwoofer series has officially arrived, introducing three powerful new models—the W10, W12, and W15—that deliver premium sound with exceptional value. Designed for integration with entry- to mid-level speaker systems, these subwoofers are equally at home in traditional home cinema setups or custom installations. Developed in tandem with the high-end Anthra Series, the Vestra lineup reflects Monitor Audio’s Transparent Design Philosophy—seamlessly blending refined acoustic engineering, intuitive functionality, and sleek aesthetics. At the heart of each model is a high-performance C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium Magnesium) driver, offering improved strength, pistonic movement, and efficiency over traditional aluminum designs.
Optimized for clarity and control, the advanced motor systems in the W12 and W15 feature triple suspensions for enhanced low-frequency precision, supported by FEA-optimized steel components and larger round-wound voice coils made from high-purity copper. This delivers strong magnetic field performance while minimizing distortion. Power comes via Class-D amplification—250 Watts in the W10, and a robust 500 Watts in both the W12 and W15—matching drive units with amplifier output to ensure dynamic bass response. Flexible connectivity options include stereo RCA, LFE RCA inputs, DSP preset modes, and a 12V trigger, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of hi-fi and AV setups. The W10 and W12 use sealed enclosures for placement versatility, while the ported W15 offers deeper bass impact optimized for larger spaces.
The Monitor Audio Vestra Subwoofer range is housed in rigid 15mm MDF cabinets with 21mm thick matte-painted front baffles, finished in a sleek black or white vinyl. With pricing starting at £600 / US$800 / €750 for the W10 and up to £900 / US$1,200 / €1,150 for the W15, this series offers accessible, high-performance bass for discerning listeners. Delivering clarity, control, and musicality, these subwoofers make a compelling case for audiophiles looking to enhance their setup.
