60 days in your room
The only meaningful audition is in your own space, on your own system. The S12 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.
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.
Direct to the engineers
V&Y concierge support connects you directly to the people who designed the S12 — 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.
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.

Films built
for this system.
These soundtracks were engineered to move air. The D18 SSP was built to let them.
Dune
The opening desert sequences test infrasonic extension below 30 Hz. The Gom Jabbar scene's bass texture is only fully reproduced at reference extension.
Interstellar
The organ passages reach below 20 Hz. The docking sequence — sustained bass against silence — is the definitive sealed subwoofer demonstration.
Blade Runner 2049
The most demanding low-frequency soundtrack of the decade. Sustained infrasonic bass throughout — designed to be felt, not just heard.
Mad Max: Fury Road
Pure percussion and exhaust. The War Rig chase sequences produce continuous bass transients that reward high-excursion sealed alignment.
Avatar: The Way of Water
The underwater sequences were mixed for Dolby Atmos reference systems. Low-frequency pressure effects reach below 25 Hz — precisely where the D-Series operates.
Ad Astra
Max Richter's score uses silence and bass with equal precision. Studies in how low-frequency control shapes tension — not volume.
Two models.
One luxury philosophy.
