The Monitor Audio Anthra W15 assures astonishing levels of power and musical poise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"A Very Serious Subwoofer\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFuture Audiophile\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"Controlled, Deep, and Solid\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"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 \u003cem\u003estereonet.com\u003c\/em\u003e, which honored the W15 with Highly Recommended status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHigh Linear-Excursion, Triple Suspension RST II Bass Driver\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAll 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFormidable Class-D Amplifier\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eBehind 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"One of the Best I've Auditioned\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eEngland's \u003cem\u003eHome Cinema Choice\u003c\/em\u003e granted the W15 its Highly Recommended status in a June 21, 2024 review by Richard Stevenson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"All the ingredients are there: power aplenty, a virtually resonance-free cabinet and that sophisticated 15in C-CAM driver.
