About the VG18
The Von Gaylord Audio VG-18 is a stand-mount, 2-way ported loudspeaker designed for high-fidelity performance and intended to be used with dedicated stands. It employs a large custom woofer and matching dome tweeter in a time-aligned configuration, with high-efficiency sensitivity around 90-91dB and a nominal impedance between 6 and 8 ohms, making it suitable for use with a wide range of tube and solid-state amplifiers. The design follows Von Gaylord's established monitor formula (as seen in the VG-8 and Legend series) with bi-wire-ready, gold-plated binding posts, a rear-ported enclosure, and a durable high-gloss wood finish, voiced for extended low-frequency response that approaches floor-standing performance despite its compact, roughly 14-inch-tall monitor form factor. Stands are sold separately.
