Cabasse's high-fashion L'Ocean speakers rock the catwalk, your wallet

half a glance at Cabasse's L'Océan speakers (shown here on the
right) and assume that they're one in the same with the company's La
Sphére. Sure enough, the former also falls into the outfit's
Artis line of speakers, but there's a slightly different combination
of angles going on beneath the orb. The boutique audio firm has just
revealed these three-way coaxial drive units, and they're purportedly
capable of hitting 117dB without a hint of distortion. Of course, they
weigh 176 pounds and stand just under four feet high, and considering
the 2,250 total watts of digital amplification, we'd say they're
probably built for a TMZ-certified house party. The company's gearing
up to launch these in Q2 2011, but with a €80,000 ($105,900) list
price, we're assuming it'll take a little more than seven month to
save up for a set.
