Monitor Audio's new Vector range raises the bar for entry level speaker packages, with living room-friendly looks and high quality sound you could expect from much more expensive speakers. The Vector AV speaker package includes a pair of Vector 10 bookshelf speakers, a Vector 20 centre speaker and a Vector VW-8 subwoofer. The Vector 10 and 20 speakers use driver technology found in the award-winning Monitor Audio Radius range, including 25mm Gold-Dome tweeters and 100mm MMP II mid-bass drivers. Combined the Vector 10 bookshelf speakers and Vector 20 centre speaker can create realistic and detailed top end, with punch and excitement thanks to a generous handing of bottom end, whilst remaining controlled and tight sounding.
Overall, we were immensely impressed with the quality of the speakers in the Vector range. Considering the price point, they are a steal. The Vector VW-8 subwoofer cannot go unmentioned, with this powerful and controlled subwoofer pumping out all the low end rumbles we have come to love in movies with ease thanks to the 100w class A-B amplifier.
