Roth has released details on their new OLi line of speakers. The OLi line includes two different bookshelf speakers and a floorstanding model.
OLi1 (2-Way 4" Bookshelf Loudspeaker)
This entry level model brings an incredible level of fit and finish for its modest price tag, featuring luxurious black lacquer highlights, and an elegantly curving cabinet. This two-way design, bookshelf style unit measures a modest 20cm in height, yet handles up to 100 watts of power.
Up and running – whether it’s the entry-level bookshelf, the OLi centre ground, or the range topping tower – the OLi range speakers are by no means sonic wallflowers: a combination of super-solid cabinets – including the OLi3’s DALtech damping – and imperiously designed drivers, plus internal components mean the OLi speakers sound just as good as they look.
* 2-Way 4” Bookshelf Loudspeaker
* Impedance: 8 Ohms
* Sensitivity: 88dB
* Frequency response: 60Hz~ 20KHz
* Max Power Handling: 100Watts
* Woofer: 4” Woven Fiberglass Hybrid Cones
* Tweeter: 1” Polymer Integrated Soft Dome
* Dimensions: 9.4" (H) x 6" (W) x 7"(D)
* Price: $205 (£100)
OLi2 (2-Way 5.25" Bookshelf Loudspeaker)
Next in line this model takes the OLi1 design and adds a few centimeters to the cabinet and also to the mid-bass driver. The result is a speaker offering the same incredible level of finish as its little brother, bringing even greater levels of bass reach, and boosting sonic volume.

OLi3 (2.5-Way 5.25" Tower Loudspeaker)
