But sometimes what we lovemoreis to indulge in the most ridiculous, high-end, cutting-edge, luxurious tech on the planet. That’s what we bring you in these Money no Object columns – you canread the whole series here.

If like us you were blown away byLG’s 163-inch micro-LED TV, theLGMagnit, there’s now an even more desirable version of this already luxury sized set for you to buy. In fact, it’s so high-end that LG won’t tell you what it costs.

As the cliché goes, if you have to ask then you can’t afford it. Put it this way, the system includes LG’s 136-inch micro-LED TV, which was priced at $300,000 on its own last year, plus a pair of Beolab 90 – Bang & Olufsen’s most advanced and most expensive speakers, which currently retail for around $80,000.

This new exclusive package is thanks to a partnership between LG, which makes thebest OLED TVs, and Bang & Olufsen, which makes some of thebest Bluetooth speakers. As part of the deal, the bundle will include the Magnit TV with two Beolab 90s and support for the speaker’s remote control

But of course, this is our Money No Object series – and that means we don’t care about the cash. We want to know how it looks and how it sounds, and the short answer is clearly going to be: incredible.

LG’s 136-inch Magnit TV: What is it?

The Magnit is one of LG’s very first micro-LED TVs. It consists of multiple micro-LED panels combined into one very large 136-inch display. That means it can deliver many of the picture quality and contrast advantages ofOLEDwithout the problems of burn-in.

While its4Kresolution is perhaps a little disappointing for such a massive display, it comes with the excellent a9 processor that you’ll also find in the latest LGOLED TVs, such as theLG CXandLG Gallery Series.

According to LG, “the versatile LG Magnit is ideal for luxury consumers seeking a premium, large-scale display for the home with 163-inches of 4K resolution for enjoying favorite movies, series and sports”.

B&O’s Beolab 90 speaker: Is it worth it?

So you know LG’s Magnit TV is going to look good, but what about the sound? I haven’t personally heard a set of B&O Beolab 90s because I’m not the demographic these are made for. But I’ve read tons of reviews by serious speaker experts, all of which basically appear to be doing a good impression of Meg Ryan’s iconic cafe scene inWhen Harry Met Sallybut with more mentions of audio frequencies.

The consensus is that they’re the most beautiful sounding B&O speakers to date, and that means they’re up there with the very best speakers by anybody. They’re also among the sturdiest. They’re made from 65kg of aluminium, which ensures the 18 different drivers don’t move where they’re not supposed to.

They’re gorgeous things, packed with cutting-edge tech and delivering a sound that by all accounts is out of this world. For example, the audio experts atStereophileurged “every caring music listener to listen to the BeoLab 90 and hear what is now possible. It’s that good”.
