(February 6, 2026) Compact speakers often sit at the crossroads of convenience and compromise, but Eversolo is aiming higher with its first passive loudspeaker effort. The newly introduced SE100 is a compact two-way bookshelf designed to fit comfortably in real-world spaces while keeping pricing firmly within reach. Known primarily for its digital source components, Eversolo is using the SE100 to take a meaningful step into system building, offering a speaker that’s meant to work just as naturally on a desk or shelf as it does in a small dedicated listening setup.
The SE100 uses a two-way acoustic design built around a 5.25" paper-pulp woofer and a 25 mm silk-dome tweeter driven by a high-flux neodymium motor. According to Eversolo, attention was paid to phase and time alignment through the crossover region, which is set at 2.6 kHz, to preserve clarity, focus, and tonal balance across a wide range of music. Sensitivity is rated at 88 dB with a nominal 4-ohm impedance, making the SE100 a match for amplifiers in the 20 to 100 watt range. Bass extension is rated down to 50 Hz, which should allow the speaker to strut low-end presence in smaller rooms without immediately requiring a subwoofer.
Size and placement flexibility are central to the SE100’s appeal. With a compact enclosure measuring just under 12" tall, the speaker is intended for use on stands, shelves, desktops, or modular furniture systems such as IKEA’s KALLAX units. Eversolo says the physical layout of the drivers and crossover calibration is designed to produce a stable, holographic soundstage that feels larger than the speaker’s footprint suggests, helping it avoid the boxed-in presentation often associated with small bookshelf designs.
While the SE100 is designed to work with electronics from a wide range of manufacturers, it’s also positioned as a natural companion to Eversolo’s Play streaming amplifier. Forte Distribution, Eversolo’s U.S. distributor, describes the speaker as a solution for listeners who want strong performance in limited spaces without overthinking component matching. In discussing the design, Forte Distribution’s Roger Fortier notes that beyond performance, the SE100 is meant to be visually at home in everyday living spaces, adding that “in addition to outstanding performance for the size and price, it looks so good that music-lovers are placing it in spaces where it can be admired from anywhere in the room.”
The Eversolo SE100 is available now in the U.S. with a suggested retail price of $499 per pair through Forte Distribution’s dealer network.
