For most normal living rooms, the V12C offers great value and is a great compromise between size and performance. Make no mistake: even though the V12C looks tiny compared to its bigger brother, you still get the Vestlyd DNA here: dynamics, insight and plenty of that punchy bass that makes you want to re-listen to your entire record collection.

PRISTINE HI-FI & GREAT ENTERTAINMENT

COAXIAL DESIGN

The design of Vestlyd is heavily inspired by vintage speakers from the 70s, but the special coaxial construction is more than a fancy design; it has audible advantages too. In this design, the compression tweeter is mounted directly in the back of the motor system of the woofer, solving the crucial time alignment issue between the two drivers. At the same time, the woofer has a horn-like effect on the tweeter, optimizing SPL – an added benefit of the design! We call this special speaker type: Power Monitor.

WIDE SWEET SPOT

Most coaxial loudspeakers are tuned to be very direct in their sound, need to be toed in and only really sound good in the absolute sweet spot; especially at high frequencies, they can be very beamy. Vestlyd, however, is designed to have very wide dispersion, with a sweet spot that is much wider than what you'd normally get in speakers like these. With this special coaxial design, you get the best from both worlds: perfect time alignment and an even spread of the sound, even at high frequencies. Consequently, Vestlyd speakers do not need to be toed in!

MADE TO BE LOUD

Make no mistake: Vestlyd go LOUD. A pair of these speakers can deliver a sound pressure level in excess of 130 dB, effectively giving you concert levels of sound with low distortion. Be aware that listening at these levels can be dangerous for your hearing! We applied advanced FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulations and measurement equipment to optimize every element – from the voice coil to the cone for high-power performance.

HiFi Reviews

These speakers do it deliberately different. […]

Vestlyd clearly aim at an audience that enjoys going on the acoustic offensive including higher levels. For them the V12C offers compelling entertainment with echoes of the live experience.

With the V12C, Vestlyd has created a unique loudspeaker that brings the characteristics of a stage loudspeaker to the living room. The V12C can play loudly and undistorted, but even at lower volumes, the listener can enjoy the feeling of being in a concert hall. [...]

The listener becomes involved in their music and may sometimes have to resist the temptation to turn up the volume.

Testimonial

The Vestlyd V12C is a special speaker.

Not only does it look sturdy, it also can pack a powerful punch and lives up to ist slogan. ""Live Louder"" - a promise that is delivered impressively. The robust design and the artificial leather surface not only convey live ambience, even on a smaller stage, the jack of all trades can get a party going properly.

Both models are comparatively well-balanced and do not exaggerate at any point. Rather, both discreetly pull back the upper mids. Equally noticeable: the high frequencies are as responsive as they are refined. No hiss, no harshness: everything has a wonderful shine and a nice, very light transparency. The problem of classic coaxial speakers, namely that the vibrating bass cone modulates the high frequency signals, does not seem to be present here. Super.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

The design of Vestlyd is heavily inspired by vintage speakers from the 70s, with added inspiration from classic power speakers. However, compared to conventional power speakers, a Vestlyd speaker has far more detail, musicality, and control, bringing it closer to classical studio monitors. We did not want to make it quite as analytical, though, so Vestlyd presents a far more forgiving and entertaining listening experience than pure studio monitors, which can often sound too clean in a normal living space. This means that you essentially get the best of both worlds.

We call this special speaker type: Power Monitor. We identified three key areas to make these speakers a success: even dispersion, high SPL and low distortion.
