Astonishing Levels of Power and Musical Poise
For no-holds-barred home theater shivers and deep bass hi-fi excitement, choose the powered sub that doesn't hold back. The Monitor Audio Anthra W15 assures astonishing levels of power and musical poise.
The W15 is the largest subwoofer within the Anthra series. It features a 15" Rigid Surface Technology II (RST II) C-CAM high-excursion driver powered by a Class-D 1,500 Watt amplifier - housed in an attractive sealed-box cabinet with comprehensive internal bracing.
"A Very Serious Subwoofer"
Future Audiophile admired the W15 so much, it handed the sub a Gear We Love Award for 2024. "The Monitor Audio Anthra W15 is a very serious subwoofer for those who want deep bass to match with their higher end loudspeakers," notes Mike Prager, June 26, 2024.
"In a beyond-competitive market, Monitor Audio hit this one out of the park, thus the well-earned 2024 FutureAudiophile.com Gear We Love Award."
"Controlled, Deep, and Solid"
"The most immediate sonic characteristic of the W15 is its natural execution. This subwoofer doesn't strain to smack you in the face with deep bass; rather, its output is controlled, deep, and solid. There's an organic weight to its presentation that helps it serve other speakers in the system, rather than supplant them," notes Steve May in his January 24, 2024 review for stereonet.com, which honored the W15 with Highly Recommended status.
"With the stylish new Anthra series, Monitor Audio has created a versatile subwoofer line ideal for multimedia use – and the W15 is a formidable range-topper. Smooth and fast-sounding, it boasts massive power. So, if you want to add depth and bass detail to your home theatre system, the Anthra comes highly recommended."
High Linear-Excursion, Triple Suspension RST II Bass Driver
All Anthra subwoofer drivers feature Rigid Surface Technology II (RST II) and ceramic-coated aluminum magnesium cones (C-CAM). RST II significantly increases cone rigidity, allowing the radiating surface to resist mechanical bending forces, especially under the significant forces that Anthra amplifiers are capable of supplying, which can twist the shape of conventional driver cones to produce distorted sound and ultimately damage the driver.
Formidable Class-D Amplifier
Behind the RST II C-CAM high-excursion driver lies a formidable amplifier capable of jaw-dropping power. With Class-D 425, 900 and a massive 1,400 Watts RMS at continuous levels with peak demand reaching 500, 1,700, and a massive 2,500 Watts (depending on Anthra model), each amplifier ensures that the drivers are working to their optimum performance levels, no matter what the volume.
"One of the Best I've Auditioned"
England's Home Cinema Choice granted the W15 its Highly Recommended status in a June 21, 2024 review by Richard Stevenson.
"Monitor Audio's brief of musicality and depth for the Anthra range rings true with the mighty W15 – it's one of the best 'stereo music' subs I have auditioned around its price. Its movie performance is exhilarating too, and I wouldn't be surprised if it could give more in terms of speed and slam with help from an REW/PC calibration or third-party bass EQ system."

"All the ingredients are there: power aplenty, a virtually resonance-free cabinet and that sophisticated 15in C-CAM driver. Consider this a cracking all-rounder!"
Easy-to-Use MaestroUnite Setup App
Using Monitor Audio's in-house-designed MaestroUnite setup app, you can optimally configure your Anthra subwoofer to your individual taste and system requirements.
The app allows complete custom setup using basic or advanced features. Thanks to options including EQ pre-sets (configurable by either Monitor Audio or the user), Gain, Low Pass Filter, Auto-On, LED Control, Phase and LPF Slope, and many more, you get complete control over the setup of your Anthra sub.
"One of the Most User Friendly and Sophisticated"
"Two weeks on and I have become very fond of the Anthra W15 for its rare combination of bass refinement and speed, bijou dimensions, and very useable app," observes Daniel J. Sait, essentialinstall.com, May 20, 2024.
"It is one of the most user-friendly and all-round sophisticated subs I have tested, very much validating MA’s claim that the Anthra series majors on musicality and control."
