Amazon Echo 2 arrives, packing bigger audio and a smaller price

At an exclusive event in Seattle. Amazon has announced a brand-new Amazon Echo - the all-new Amazon Echo. 

Revealed to a select bunch of technology journalists, with TechRadar in attendance, the speaker is a big update on the original Amazon Echo. 

It has a 2.5 inch woofer in it, and a dedicated tweeter system, and has been given a new decor with six shells available. There are even wood veneer ones. 

It is also smaller, too. Which means that it's not as expensive as the original Echo. It is available today for just $99, £89. 

Amazon is hoping that multiple Echos will be bought by people will mean that the Echo becomes a budget multi-room audio setup, which should have the likes of Sonos sweating.

Also available is Echo Connect, a speaker phone system that you just plug into your home. This is coming to homes in the US later this year and early next year in the UK. 

More to come...
