Libratone managed to pique our interest with its brightly-colored, cashmere-ensconced Live and Lounge AirPlay speakers this summer, and it’s now finally announced that they’re both available in the US. They come in at an expectedly hefty $699 for the smaller Live model and $1,299 for the larger Lounge soundbar (add an extra $100 to each for that aforementioned cashmere option — yes, really), and they’ll both be available at Apple stores and other select design retailers.
Despite that sizable price difference, both units have the same 150W of total output power (coming from five dedicated amplifiers), although the Lounge promises some expanded range that’s better suited for a living room — it’s also much bigger than it appears in the not-to-scale image above (40 inches wide, to be specific, while the Live is just under eight).
