Description
D-Series

Reference Subwoofer
Full-scale infrasonic performance.
Architectural by design.

A slim sealed reference subwoofer engineered for deep-extension cinema playback, large-room authority, and genuine infrasonic capability while maintaining refined architectural proportions.
Architectural Reference Integration

Deep Extension.
Serious Scale.

The D18 was engineered for listeners who want genuine infrasonic performance without oversized commercial enclosure proportions.

The D18 uses a slim sealed vertical cabinet architecture designed to preserve meaningful internal acoustic volume while maintaining controlled cabinet depth.

Home trial

60 days in your room

The only meaningful audition is in your own space, on your own system. The D15 arrives at your door. You listen. If after 60 days it does not belong in that room, contact us and we arrange collection. No restocking fee. No conditions. No questions that require an answer.

Warranty

Ten years. Transferable.

Full parts and labour coverage for ten years from the date of purchase. The warranty transfers to subsequent owners on private resale — register the new owner and full coverage continues. We build loudspeakers intended to last a generation. The warranty reflects that intention.

Support

Direct to the engineers

V&Y concierge support connects you directly to the people who designed the D15 — for setup, room placement, amplifier pairing, and long-term system guidance. No call centres. No support tickets. The person who answers understands the speaker from the inside.

Direct to customer

No intermediaries. Ever.

V&Y sells exclusively direct. No importers, no dealers, no showrooms. The price you see is the price you pay — worldwide shipping and all applicable duties and taxes included. Every element of the customer relationship remains with us, from order to ownership.

Finish options

Five finishes. All hand-applied. All to specification.

Each finish is applied in controlled stages. Coats are flat-sanded between applications. Every surface is inspected under raking light before the next layer is added. The cabinet clears our facility only when it meets a written surface specification — not a visual judgment, a documented standard.
