$150,000 speaker to watch over you

No, it's not another eyeball Webcam, though we'd certainly understand the confusion. Despite the similar orb shape, this is a speaker of much larger proportions with a price to match: $150,000.
Back on your chair yet? We have no idea what could possibly justify such an expense, but the "La Sphere" from Cabasse claims to be worth it, naturally. Luxist says the spherical design "eliminates standing waves" and creates "a more rounded sound." Right.
We have the perfect turntable for it too: the "Transrotor Artus," which coincidentally also costs $150,000. That would make a total of $300,000 before you've even got any digital music sources. What a bargain.
And quit ragging on the analog brethren, will ya? If one listens, breathes and believes in vinyl, *** does he need digital [i]anything[/i] for?
Um.. Maybe so they could buy the latest and greatest(?) muzak as it becomes available. Very little, if any of it's being released on vinyl.

- An amp? A second speaker?

- You will need an amplifier to drive the speaker. Is the $150,000 the price for one speaker? Do you need two or will the second one cause you to have standing waves (not rounded)? I do not think I could afford to rent this setup for a week; so, I guess I don't really care.
