Bowers and Wilkins intros four new CM-series speakers
Bowers and Wilkins is one of those venerable speaker brands that always gets mentioned when people want to get into high-end speakers (how much only depends on budget), and the company has brought out four new models to its CM-series that sits between its 600 and 800-series lineups. The CM9 ($1,500 each, floorstanding) and CM5 ($750 each, stand-mount) speakers share their 25-mm aluminum tweeter and 165-mm Kevlar drivers with the CM Center 2 ($1,250) model to give you that seamless sonic match across the front, and the CM9 adds in a 150-mm Kevlar midrange to its cabinet as well. Audio purity is all well and good, but HT fun is all what happens when you turn the ASW 10CM subwoofer ($1,500) to eleven -- the 25-cm paper/Kevlar driver backed by 500-Watts should be able to get things moving. These new models should be available in October in gloss black, Rosenut and that trendy Wengé finish making the rounds.
Battalion Wars II will have online multiplayer
Upon our first glimpse of Battalion Wars II, we thought that online multiplayer could really enhance the experience. We're glad to report that Nintendo have seen fit to grant us our wish, confirming via the game's page at Nintendo.com that the title will support online multiplayer. We can't be the only ones looking forward to playing this, can we?See also: Up close with BWii[Thanks, Ali!]
