A New Category for Eversolo

Eversolo has built its reputation with modern digital components that look sharp, feel premium, and deliver the kind of sound quality that surprises people for the money. The SE100 feels like a natural next step, because it’s Eversolo moving beyond source gear and into the part of the system that really defines the overall listening experience: the speakers.

And honestly, the timing makes sense. A lot of music lovers want better sound, but they don’t want huge floorstanders dominating the room. Bookshelf speakers keep winning because they’re easier to place, easier to live with, and they can still deliver a seriously rewarding sound when they’re designed well.

Built for Real Rooms, Not Showrooms

The SE100 is a compact passive two-way bookshelf speaker designed to work in the spaces most people actually have. What makes it stand out visually is its more squared-off cabinet shape, which gives it a little more internal volume while still staying small enough for stands, shelving, or tighter rooms.

Eversolo is using a high-density MDF cabinet with internal damping, which is exactly what you want at this price point. The finish is clean and understated, and it feels more “performance first” than “look at me,” which usually means the money went into the parts that matter most.

A Simple Two-Way Design with Smart Choices

Eversolo kept the driver layout straightforward, but the component choices are the kind you typically see in speakers that aim for smooth, natural sound.

High frequencies are handled by a 25mm silk-dome tweeter with a neodymium motor, which should help deliver detail without the harsh edge some budget speakers can lean into. The mid-bass driver is a 5.25-inch paper-pulp cone, a classic option that tends to sound natural through vocals and instruments while staying controlled.

The crossover point is set at 2.6kHz, and the tuning goal here seems to be balance, not hype. The idea is a speaker that feels even across the frequency range, not something that jumps out in one area and disappears in another.

Power, Bass, and What to Expect in the Real World

On paper, the SE100 looks built for near-field and small-to-medium rooms, which is exactly where bookshelf speakers shine.

It’s rated at 88dB sensitivity with a 4-ohm nominal impedance and a minimum impedance that dips lower, so you’ll want an amp that’s comfortable driving a 4-ohm load. The recommended power range sits in the 20 to 100 watt neighborhood, which lines up perfectly with modern integrated amps and streaming amps.

Bass extension is rated down around the 50Hz range, which is strong for a compact speaker. You’re not getting subwoofer-level slam, but you should get enough low-end weight to make music feel full and satisfying. And if you add a sub later, this seems like the kind of speaker that will blend in easily.

The Best Pairings and System Ideas

The SE100 makes the most sense in a modern compact setup where you want real hi-fi sound without a complicated system.

It feels like a natural match for components people are already buying, like the Eversolo Play, a WiiM Amp Ultra, or a Bluesound Powernode. You get the flexibility of passive speakers, the convenience of a streaming-based system, and an overall setup that fits into real life without looking like a science project.

The Audio Advice Take

What we like about the SE100 is that it doesn’t feel like Eversolo trying to “get into speakers” just to check a box. This looks like a speaker designed around how people actually listen today: smaller spaces, cleaner setups, and systems where you want great sound without adding clutter or complication.

At this price, the SE100 could end up being one of those easy recommendations for someone building their first real hi-fi system, or for anyone who wants a compact two-channel setup that still feels legit.

The most important question, of course, is how they sound in a real room with real music, and we’re excited to find out. We’ll have the SE100 in for a full Audio Advice review soon, with listening impressions, system pairings, and how they stack up against other speakers in this category.
