Looking For Info On Optimus 1100 Speakers

Radioshackcatalogs.com might have something.  

I gave a link in my post to the specs and user guide. They seem like a generic three way box

Thanks all for the responses.

These 1100's seem to be a mystery. ??

Kalali-I agree.  My first system was from RS.  Nothing to write home about, but we sure loved in in my freshman dorm.  The ones w the ribbon tweeter were definitely considered the cream of the crop.

I have a pair of the little Pro LX5s and loved them as surround speakers (excellent omnidirectional tweeters), but, alas, the surrounds of the midrange drivers rotted away. Wish I could find replacement surrounds...

Well, I'll be darned:

The pick of the Radio Shack Optimus range back in the day (mid 90s) was the Pro LX5 which used the Linaeum ribbon tweeter and was less than $200 the pair -- my first system in the US while I was at grad school was based around this -- a super speaker (once you tweaked it by filling the port with straws!) and well deserving of much better ancillaries -- seems like there are plenty still available on eBay makes me think about building an office system around them again 😏

Unfortunately I know nothing about the 1100 -- what I can pick up it sounds like nothing special, sorry

Some models might have been surprisingly good but most models unsurprisingly sucked. For full disclosure, I only owned a bookshelf size back in the day for my "garage" system and heard two others; another larger bookshelf size and one floor standing. The brand was considered mediocre at best. Sorry about being blunt.

IIRC, back in the day, Optimus was a Radio Shack house brand.  Some models were reportedly surprisingly good
