, Jan 8th 2008 Discuss [0]

Razer have officially announced at CES the Mako 2.1 THX-certified gaming speaker system that James went head over heals for back in October, and I hope he's been saving up his pocket money since bi-amped, 2.1 audio with Class HD amplifiers apparently don't come cheap.  Setting the price at $399.99 or €399.99 in Europe, each satellite speaker pumps out 50W and the total system power is 300W.   Read The Full Story
