Amazon.com Product Description
For the past 30 years, Israel-based Morel has been one of the best-kept secrets in the audio industry. Instead of marketing their speakers directly to the consumers, they've been quietly and convincingly providing ultra-high quality drivers for other loudspeaker manufacturers. Morel's technology can be found in speakers manufactured all over the world, including many top brands in the United States. Thankfully, all that's changing. Morel is now setting its sights on the consumer market with its own branded speakers. Morel's SoundSpot LI-1 Satellite Speakers are the company's most cost-effective speakers, designed to satisfy anyone looking for an unparalleled home-theater experience at an affordable price.

The LI-1 is also sold as part of the Morel Nova SoundSpot home theater system. View larger.

The LI-1's styish design looks great with any decor. They're wall-mountable, too.

A Compact and Smart Design
The days of filling your living space with fifty-pound speaker boxes that look like they belong on an Aerosmith concert stage are thankfully long gone. Morel knows that if you're going to invest in serious audio for your home, you'll want your system to reflect your tastes in every respect. The award-winning sphere-shaped LI-1 Satellite Speakers weigh all of 2.3 pounds with an amazingly compact diameter of 4.5 inches. Housed in smart, white steel enclosures, with oversized gold-plated binding posts, these speakers are small enough to blend discreetly into any modern decor. (If you want these speakers as part of a full system, Morel also offers these speakers as part of its Nova SoundSpot system.) The speakers are set on circular mounting plates, which can either be screwed onto a wall, placed on a suitable flat surface, or mounted on one of Morel's ST-95 Speaker Stands. The stands neatly conceal the speaker wires and complement the system design nicely.

Quality Assurance: The Morel Difference
Morel's peerless quality control is a key selling point. Every speaker with the Morel name on it is built, tested, and inspected in Morel's factory in Israel. Except for the production of the steel speaker housing, which is outsourced, Morel is directly responsible for everything.

Morel drivers are based on what the company describes as "Hexatech technology," which employs a hexagonal aluminum wire voice-coil. Meanwhile, the speaker construction is based on its own "External Voice Coil," or EVC, technology, which uses a magnet with a shaped pole that fits inside the aluminum voice coil rather than around it. According to Morel, the EVC design offers higher efficiency and greater power handling accuracy. Plus, the design provides as much power response as conventional systems five times larger. In other words, what the speakers may lack in size, they more than make up for in power.

The SoundSpot LI-1s are built with neodymium magnets, which are up to 20 times more powerful than conventional magnet systems. They each house a 3.5-inch coaxial driver with a 0.75-inch high-temperature voice coil for the midrange, along with a semi-soft polymer tweeter with a 0.25-inch liquid-cooled voice coil. Despite the small size, the speakers still offer plenty of power for most home-theater applications, with a range of 15 to 100 watts and a 100 Hz to 22 kHz frequency response.

Note: New Morel speakers and components require 40 hours of "break-in" time before you'll achieve optimal performance. The response of any speaker will depend on how free the woofer cones are to move, and since new speaker components are bound to have stiff suspensions, a "loosening up" period should be allowed before passing final judgement on the system's performance.
