Thanks to their simplicity, the home theater in a box (HTIB) has become a popular addition to the TV cabinet in many households. Looking to simplify things even further, California-based company in2technologies has unveiled its aptly named Unity Home Theater System at CES 2012 that unifies a HTIB with a TV stand. So instead of a tangle of cables snaking their way from the back of a TV stand to the TV, the Unity cleans things up with a single HDMI 1.4a cable.

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W), the British loudspeaker company responsible for the legendary Zeppelin iPod dock and subsequent Zeppelin Air, released its first Mini Theater systems based around the company’s M-1 loudspeaker six years ago.

Like the outgoing M-1, the new M-1 serves duty delivering all five (left, right, center and two surround) channels in a 5.1 surround set up. But B&W says the new unit offers improved full range performance to also deliver stereo performance comparable to larger bookshelf speakers.
