Floorstanding loudspeakers — Monitor Audio Bronze W10

The Monitor Audio Bronze W10 is an active subwoofer with built-in amplification, the self-powered bass module of the Bronze range. The Bronze series is the most affordable family in the Monitor Audio catalogue, and this model brings the entry-tier acoustic platform to low-frequency duty.

Key specs that matter

The rated low-frequency response reaches 33 Hz at -3 dB, a deep figure for a compact powered enclosure. The internal amplifier is rated at 220 W. The cabinet measures 32.1 x 32.1 x 36.4 cm and weighs 13.4 kg, so it stays compact enough to fit beside furniture or a media unit.

Engineering and use context

With its amplifier housed inside the enclosure, the W10 is a self-contained unit and does not rely on a separate power amplifier.

Pairing

As an active design it takes a line-level or subwoofer-level feed directly from an amplifier, receiver or processor rather than a full-range speaker-level connection. It sits naturally alongside Bronze bookshelf and floorstanding speakers in a stereo or home cinema system.

Alternatives

The Monitor Audio Vestra W10 is another powered subwoofer from the brand.
