Founded in 2021 in Denmark, Vestlyd is a Danish loudspeaker brand inspired by classical monitor-type speakers where dynamics, sound pressure, and live performance feeling take priority over aesthetics. The name combines Danish words 'Vest' (west) and 'lyd' (sound), referencing their west Denmark engineering location by the North Sea coast. As part of the Nordic Hi-Fi family and sister brand to Argon Audio, Vestlyd leverages over 20 years of audio manufacturing experience and close relationships with HiFi Klubben audio chain. The company was created to fill the gap left by Cerwin-Vega after their 2018 closure with Gibson's fall. Vestlyd specializes in 'Power Monitors' - concert-style speakers featuring punchy bass, open soundstage, and powerful dynamics. Their flagship V15C model includes a 15-inch coaxial unit with center-mounted tweeter, delivering impressive sound pressure levels for party and home theater applications. The company prioritizes function over form, returning to classical loudspeaker principles.
