Eversolo — a brand better known for DACs and streaming amplifiers — has officially stepped into the loudspeaker world with its first passive bookshelf model, the SE100.
What immediately sets these apart is a design choice that’s as clever as it is practical: the SE100 is specifically sized to fit IKEA’s popular Kallax shelving units, making them ideal for listeners who want great sound without sacrificing style or space.
A Speaker Built for Modern Living
Most traditionally shaped bookshelf speakers are too wide or tall for the interior cubes of furniture like IKEA’s Kallax. Eversolo solved this by giving the SE100 a square 1:1 form factor, letting them sit snugly within Kallax shelves without awkward overhangs or unused space. That means you can integrate serious audio gear into your décor without awkward compromises.
Behind that distinctive shape is a two‑way passive design combining a 1‑inch silk‑dome tweeter driven by a neodymium magnet with a 5.25‑inch paper‑pulp mid/bass driver. According to Eversolo’s materials, this setup aims for flat frequency response and natural sound reproduction, with bass reaching down to about 50Hz and a neutral, detailed midrange and treble.
The cabinets are constructed from high‑density MDF with a matte black finish that’s both modern and understated, while the included magnetic fabric grilles use low‑diffraction materials designed not to interfere with high‑frequency clarity.
What Makes the SE100 Stand Out
- Kallax‑friendly dimensions: Fits perfectly inside standard IKEA shelving units for seamless aesthetic integration.
- Balanced two‑way driver design: Silk dome tweeter and mid/bass combo offer detailed and lively audio.
- High‑quality construction: MDF cabinets and magnetic grilles enhance both sound and look.
At a US$399/€399 price point, the SE100 isn’t budget‑level throwaway gear — it’s aimed at listeners who want real hi‑fi performance that also complements their living space without dominating it.
Ideal Uses for the SE100
These speakers are especially well‑suited to:
- Compact stereo systems paired with quality amplification
- Kallax or modular furniture setups where space is limited
- Music lovers who want both form and function in their audio gear
By embracing both acoustic engineering and practical design, Eversolo’s first foray into loudspeakers shows that good sound can fit neatly into everyday living spaces — even if those spaces are made of IKEA cubes.
