We’re thrilled to share that the Monitor Audio Vestra W12 subwoofer has been awarded a 'Best Buy' award by The Ear, with journalist Chris Kelly describing the Vestra W12 as “really well made,” “handsome,” and remarkably effective at enriching the listening experience - especially with smaller speakers.
“The difference was not subtle,” he wrote, describing the moment he switched it on during a listening session. “The whole frequency range seemed to have gained more weight, more immediacy.” Across genres from dub reggae and classic rock to Bach and Beethoven, the Vestra W12 delivered “tuneful energy” with impressive precision and timing, becoming, in Kelly’s words, “that perfect Victorian child - seen but not heard.”
Designed for both music and movies, the Vestra W12’s versatility stood out throughout the review. Even in a modest two-channel setup, Kelly noted that switching to the ‘Movie’ setting during action sequences in Top Gun created a soundscape that was “spectacular,” with dialogue and soundtracks sounding “as good as I have ever heard them.”
Chris concluded: “Whether you have a good entry-level system or something more expensive... please put the Vestra W12 on your list.”
