With a true 60 watts per (7) channels, the AVR5 is suitable for all but the largest rooms.
Enjoy immersive sound, with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

”Big movie sound combines with fine musical performance for a grin-inducing package.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review. Tested as part of Apex speaker package.
Quality compact speaker that’s versatile
Designed as a top quality satellite speaker, the Apex A10 delivers premium home cinema sound. With (optional) matching centre speaker, it delivers a formidable, enveloping sound stage that’s especially impressive for such a compact speaker. The same qualities that make it an impressive surround sound speaker make it a great choice for music, too. Perfect for desktop monitoring or multi-room sound, the Apex A10 always excels.
Top quality drive units
Featuring Monitor Audio’s iconic gold C-CAM tweeter dome, the treble response is tuned for a crisp, low distortion sound, that’s free from harshness. The compact bass cone features distinctive RST (Rigid Surface Technology). Inspired by the Japanese art of Origami, the lightweight cone is made more rigid by the precise pattern of surface dimples. It makes the bass and mid-range sound lifelike and detailed.
Punchy bass
Thanks to the HiVe II High Velocity bass port, the Apex A10 delivers deep, fast-flowing bass that’s always in time with the music. The highly rigid, die-cast alloy cabinet also helps in offering a vibration-free, ultra-low distortion housing.
Flexible mounting
Supplied with a dedicated mounting bracket, the Apex A10 is easily fitted to a wall, ceiling or table top. Tilt adjustment makes it easy to get precisely the right angle for the most direct sound quality.
Luxurious finish
Available in metallic black high gloss or metallic pearl white high gloss, the Monitor Audio Apex A10 enhances any system. Rounded edges keep the style smooth, made all the smoother by magnetically attached grilles, with no visible fixings.
Style and sound come together in harmony, with the Monitor Audio Apex A10.
Compact and unobtrusive yet hard-hitting when it matters, the Monitor Audio Vestra W10 is a supremely versatile subwoofer.
Compact and sealed cabinet – ideal for smaller rooms
Perfect for AV and hi-fi systems, the Monitor Audio Vestra W10 is designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of different components. This compact subwoofer uses a sealed enclosure, making it ideal for tight and punchy bass in smaller rooms. With three pre-set DSP modes and a range of other controls, it’s easy to customise the sound to your exact preferences. Choose between black or white finishes for the style that best suits your room.
C-CAM technology for deep, punchy bass
Featuring Monitor Audio’s renowned C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium Magnesium) driver technology, the Vestra W10 hits hard. The cone material is lightweight and resistant to flex, making it ideal for fast, punchy bass with ultra-low levels of distortion. The high excursion driver is capable of reaching impressively low notes for a subwoofer of its size, resulting in maximum bass from a compact case.
Power to impress – 250 watt amp built in
Keeping the deep bass under tight control is a high current Class-D amplifier. With around 250 watts of clean power to hand, it has little trouble in keeping the bass cone under tight control. It also gives the sub the potential for party-level volumes, without placing additional strain on your main amplifier.
Customise the sound – with three pre-set EQ modes
With Music, Movie and Impact modes you can easily change the characteristics of the subwoofer to match your mood. For the most subtle sound, choose Music. A more dynamic sound can be achieved with the Movie mode, making it ideal for the most intense action movies. If you're in party mode and want to maximise the bass beat, then switch to Impact for the most powerful sound possible.
Easy to tailor to your system and room
As well as the three pre-set EQ, the Vestra W10 has a range of controls to enable seamless integration with your system and room. For system flexibility, you can connect via stereo RCA or LFE RCA inputs. Dedicated volume and frequency controls allow for smooth pairing with your existing speakers. A 0/180 degree switch configures the sub for front or rear room placement. Finally, a 12 Volt trigger socket makes it easy to incorporate the subwoofer into a home automation system.
Experience powerful bass, in a compact space, with the Monitor Audio Vestra W10.
