  • Expect supercar prices for both editions
Money no object

We love to give practical buying advice on the latest gadgets here at TechRadar. But sometimes what we love even more is to indulge in the most high-end, cutting-edge, luxurious tech on the planet. That's what we bring you in these Money no Object columns – you can read the whole series here.

To celebrate its centenary year, Bang & Olufsen is making five very exclusive Atelier Edition products. The first of them was the Beolab 90 Titan Edition, which took the iconic Beolab 90 speaker to its bare essentials and which was revealed only last month. And now there are two new Atelier Editions, the Beolab 90 Phantom Edition and the Beolab 90 Mirage Edition.

They look incredible – and the specification and (so-far, secret) price are equally incredible, as these are limited editions of 8,200W speakers that already command seriously significant prices.

Bang & Olufsen Phantom and Mirage Editions: key features

The price hasn't been revealed yet but you can expect to shell out a six-figure sum for these extremely powerful and beautiful speakers: these are towers of power with supercar price tags. The standard Beolab 90 is £141,000 / €167,200 (about $188,365 / AU$283,300).

The Phantom edition features a black PVD acoustic mesh with "holographic visual depth"; a carbon fiber face mask, shoulder plates and base panels; and a pearl-blasted aluminium frame with precision trim detailing. It looks like some kind of evil death robot – Bang & Olufsen says it has "the power of darkness" – and it's absolutely stunning in a stealth bomber, killer drone kind of way.

While the Phantom Edition looks incredible, it's the more playful and marginally less frightening-looking Mirage Edition that really catches the eye.

The Mirage Edition has an iridescent fabric covering running from sapphire to magenta, and Bang & Olufsen describe it as "a celebration of color". It features five graded, anodized aluminium parts per speaker with wave-textured surfaces to deliver "a chromatic crescendo". I think it's absolutely beautiful, like a massive stag beetle.

Beneath the new finishes you'll find the same Beolab 90 speaker with its 18 bespoke drivers, massive amplification and advanced beam-forming technology.
