Despite the fact that the OD-11 was only available in Sweden, it sold over 100,000 units, conferring upon it a cult status among audiophiles.\n\n&amp;lt;\n\nfacebook dialogPinterestod11_00.jpgPhotos courtesy Teenage Engineering\n\nInstead of reinventing the wheel, Teenage Engineering worked closely with the Stig Carlsson Foundation to bring the OD-11 up to date, creating the world's first Cloud Speaker with a 100-watt amplifier (compare that to the 5.2-watt Jawbone Jambox and the 12-watt Beats by Dre Pill).\n\nThe OD-11 maintains a minimal profile\u2014no buttons, LEDs or knobs to distract from the unit's primary function. For volume and track control, it has an external remote with a built-in magnet; you could even stick it on the front of your fridge if you wanted to.\n\nfacebook dialogPinterestOD11Detailsvolume.jpgPhotos courtesy Teenage Engineering\n\nfacebook dialogPinterestOD11Detailsdiagram.jpgPhotos courtesy Teenage Engineering\n\nOD-11 ($800), available this Summer.\n\n\u2014See more by Jack Archer on Airows.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
