If you’re not familiar with Scandyna, the company started with a group of Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) developers being assigned to create great sounding speakers at an affordable price. Scandyna has just introduced the Amp 2, a speaker amplifier with an iPod dock, RDS FM radio, alarm clock and USB PnP in one. The unit has a look that fits in with their other colorful products (namely Podspeakers), and will come in black, white, and red. The Amp 2 has a phono jack, minijacks, and USB hookups, and comes with a remote control.

The Amp 2 from Scandyna will debut in March or April this year.

The company behind the high-end iPod dock – the Zepplin – has introduced their latest contribution to home audio. Like many other soundbars out there, the the Panorama soundbar offers a simple and elegant all-in-one home theater solution. If you’ve check out the Zepplin since it’s launch a year ago, the sound quality is amazing — so I’m sure the Panorama follows it up quite well.

The Panorama has 9 drive units enclosed in an aluminum casing: two bass woofers, two midrange drivers, an aluminum dome tweeter, along with four others that complete the package. Mount the unit below your flat-panel LCD or Plasma, and you’ve got yourself a complete package. Pick one up for $2,200 this spring. More shots of the Panorma below.

Bowers and Wilkins, best known as the manufacturer of high quality speakers, has launched their subscription-based Music Club this summer. The service allows subscribers to download high quality music, recorded in (former lead singer of Genesis) Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studio, in Bath, Great Britain. Each month, a new album, from a selected artist, is released. Some of the past featured artists include, Gwyneth Herbert, Little Axe, and Brett Anderson. Subscriptions can be purchased in 6- or 12-month varieties, for $39.95 and $59.95, respectively. After using the service for a few weeks, I have some mixed feelings.
