So far this year there were a couple of new releases, notably the Bowers & Wilkins PV1D and M1's and the Kef Blade .
This year so far I have unconfirmed (at least I saw the blue prints) report that Monitor Audio will release a flagship speaker (around the 20 000 Pounds mark). And being Monitor Audio the speaker should look like an absolute stunner.
Also Boston Acoustic have worked on their new flagship unit, it was show cased so far at one event. Listening to them at D&M Holdings in the Netherlands I can assure the Boston Acoustic fan that it will be better than your expectation. Also Boston are working on a possible replacement of their Reflection range, this is unconfirmed.
Rotel also have something in the box of new goodies, but they are very secretive at this moment and time. As the rumor goes there will be a higher range to the existing 15 range, notably with Balanced output and we might see a higher range of power amps to compete in the price range between the current 15 range and sister company Classe. All this though, unconfirmed.
Rotel and Classe will not release a Blu Ray player, this was confirmed at IS Europe in Februay, 2012.
Will add some new brands to the blog soon...
