Eversolo is a hi-fi company best known for its new-age streaming DACs and streaming amplifiers — they all have big, bright touchscreen displays. Now, it’s expanding into traditional hi-fi with its first pair of passive bookshelf speakers.

That said, maybe the most interesting thing about bookshelf speakers is their unique square design, which the brand says is designed to perfectly fit a fan-favorite piece of Ikea furniture.

Optimized for Ikea’s Kallax shelves

That’s right, the Eversolo SE100 is a pair of square-shaped bookshelf speakers that are perfectly sized to fit inside the cubicles of Ikea’s Kallax (see the photo below), which is its widely popular shelving system.

According to the brand, the speakers achieve a “seamless ‘modular’ fusion from audio equipment to home décor.”

The speakers feature a two-way design pairing a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter with a 5.25-inch paper-pulp mid-bass driver. Each speaker has a front-firing port — located opposite the tweeter, above the mid-bass driver — which is well-suited to the tight confines of the Kallax’s cubicle.

The speakers promise to be fairly easy to drive, too. They have an impedance of 4 ohms (nominal) and an 88dB sensitivity, with a recommended power rating between 20 and 100 watts.

Naturally, Eversolo recommends pairing it with its Play ($699) streaming amplifier (as shown in photos throughout), but entry-level amplifiers should be able to adequately drive them.

Price and availability

The Eversolo SE100 bookshelf speakers cost $499/pair, which puts them firmly in the upper echelons of the budget-friendly bookshelf speaker category. They come in one “deep black” finish.

Eversolo has not revealed when they will officially go on sale.
