Monitor Audio's Vestra W15, the flagship model of the new Vestra Series, has received an excellent review and 9/10 score on AVForums, alongside their 'Highly Recommended' Award! In his review, Martin Dew highlighted the subwoofer's vast, open soundstage, super-deep response on movie content, simple design, flexible placement and ease of operation.
"The Vestra W15 displays its incredible range with the exposition of deep-seated spooling turboprop engines and jet roars. Even the orchestra’s insistent brass section is vibrant and fully weighted with the help of the sub. The W15’s bass response is fat, meaty and integrated, but it doesn’t short change on detail either."
"The near-20 Hz rumbles and seat shakers - which so many bass enclosures omit - were out in full force with the W15. At the same time, the bass felt generous and flighted, as if it lifted the room and opened up the soundstage."
"Where the W15 steps up over other subs in the class is in its room-filling capabilities and for which it is so assured. The box is also neatly designed and finished, and the simplicity of set up and operation will find many fans."
"The Vestra W15 is an excellent budget-mid-price subwoofer."
