\n\tBang & Olufsen<\/a> is celebrating its 100 birthday with, well, a bang.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe audio giant just unveiled five bonkers iterations of its Beolab 90 standing speaker to celebrate its anniversary, each akin to a curvaceous work of art with a powerhouse sound system built within. All that beauty and musical prowess come at a price, though: A pair of the limited-edition speakers<\/a> costs a cool $450,000.<\/p>\n

\n\tKicking off the quintet of luxury speakers is an aluminum number called Titan. At its core lies a 143-pound cabinet that has been sandblasted using crushed volcanic rock particles, while the surrounding aluminum is either polished or matte that curves around subwoofers and other parts of the speaker\u2019s exterior. The Zenith edition, meanwhile, adds some jewelry-esqe sophistication to that aluminum look, thanks to 289 spheres that play with texture and shimmering mother-of-pearl inlays.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tThe Mirage and Monarch editions.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBang & Olufsen<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the Beolab 90 Monarch, Bang & Olufsen looked to Danish furniture for inspiration, using rosewood lamella to mimic movement across the front of the cabinet. This iteration is also a play on texture, one that is focused on nature-inspired designs. For a more classic look, you can opt for the Phantom, which draws on the motorsport world for its sleek, black look. (It would pair well with a Rolls-Royce<\/a> of the same name.) \u00a0Here, semi-transparent black PVD mesh create a holographic effect, giving you a glimpse of the speaker\u2019s inner workings, while carbon-fiber accents can be found across hand-finished panels and shoulder plates.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the opposite side of the spectrum is the last of the bunch, the bold, bright Mirage. This speaker shows off a dazzling array of purple, blue, and pink hues in an iridescent glow, along with a waved texture that pays homage to sound rippling across a room; and the design has been hand-polished by artisans to boot. If the smooth sound it emits isn\u2019t enough to capture your attention, those vibrant colors certainly will.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf course, each edition is home to all the audio tech we know and love from the Beolab 90. That includes 18 bespoke drivers, active room compensation (which adapts the speakers\u2019 sound to your space), beam width control (to control the sound dispersion, whether you\u2019re watching a movie or need a more precise listening experience), and 14 channels of amplifiers.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe entire lineup of the Beolab 90 Centennial Editions is available now\u2014though you better act fast, since only 10 of each iteration will be up for grabs worldwide.<\/p>\n
