Somehow I missed this, but I think everyone else did too. Mordaunt-Short has released a new line of loudspeakers, the Mordaunt-Short Mezzo Series.

 

The Mordaunt-Short Mezzo Series offers a floorstander, two bookshelf models, a center channel and a subwoofer. The Mezzo 6 floorstander stands 39.4" and has two 6.5" aluminum woofers mated with a 1" aluminum dome tweeter.  The Mezzo 5 center mates two 5.25" aluminum mid-bass drivers with the same 1" aluminum tweeter. 2 way bookshelf models are offered, one with a 5.25" woofer, the other sporting a 6.5" woofer. Finally, the Mezzo 9 subwoofer has two 8" drivers that will plumb down to 30Hz. The series is available in light oak or dark walnut finishes, and all models except the center channel feature curved sides on the enclosures.

 

Suggested pricing for the Mordaunt-Short Mezzo line is $1895 for the Mezzo 6 floorstanders, $995 and $795 for the bookshelf models, $695 for the Mezzo 5 center, and $1595 for the Mezzo 9 subwoofer. 

Polk Audio has unveiled a new line of loudspeakers, the RTi2008 Series.

 

Three models at this time, the RTi2008 Series consists of three floorstanding models, the RTi A5, RTi A7 and RTi A9. Features shared by the three models include curved sides on the enclosures, ferro-fluid cooled silk polymer 1' dome tweeters with neodymium magnets, new Power Port port design, which claims to reduce port turbulence while also allowing for lower tuning frequencies, and your choice of cherry or black ash real wood veneers.  The A5 has two 6.5" midbass drivers and stands 40.25" tall, the A7 has one 6.5" midrange coupled with two 7" woofers at 42.25" tall, and the A9 has two 6.5" midrange drivers aligned with the tweeter in an MTM configuration and also sports three 7" woofers in it's towering 48.625" enclosure.

 

Pricing for the RTi2008 Series is $949 for the A5, $1149 for the A7 and $1749 for the A9.

 

Internet direct loudspeaker maker Axiom Audio has announced it's first multimedia loudspeaker offering, the AudioByte Line.

A matching subwoofer will be offered for an additional $179. The AudioByte is a two way speaker, sporting a 1" titanium dome tweeter paired with a 3" aluminum woofer. A separate 110 watt amplifier is included with the speakers.

 

The AudioBytes will be available later this month direct from Axiom Audio, and all orders receive free shipping for North American orders.

 

Venerated Scottish loudspeaker manufacturer Tannoy has released details on their new line of residential loudspeakers.

 

The Tannoy Revolution Signature line consists of two floorstanding models, two bookshelf models and two center channels. The Revolution Signature line utilizes Tannoy's dual concentric drivers, which provide point source, time coherent delivery from their titanium dome tweeters and paper cones. Audiophile crossovers further ensure fidelity as the drivers hand off to each other. For those interested in additional top end air, Tannoy's patented fifth ground post is provided. Curved sidewalls on the enclosures reduce standing waves, and are available clad in Espresso and Light Oak real wood veneers.

 

The series is available with either 4" or 6" drivers, and the top of the line DC6 T floorstanders will set you back about $2000.
