I ordered these speakers because, according to the description (speaker design: active speakers [i]), they are active speakers (i.e. do not need a preamplifier; and are also cheap for this design a la "try it out"). I did some research and found hardly anything with this description. The manufacturer, which may come from England, doesn't seem to have any speakers under this name, unless they mean the Ra1 passive loudspeakers. I searched further and found an article on "WhatHiFi" about Oli-Ra1, which are passive speakers, and an article about Oli10, which are the successors to the Oli-Ra1.
Not sure if they are active speakers; cancelled the speakers the day I ordered them before doing extensive research. On reflection, and according to the visible photo on Digitec, which suggests they could be both, I would be happy if someone could verify whether they are indeed active speakers.

Answer

Ditto for me, active is not correct. What's more, it says tablet speaker ... but tablet = shelf (not computer). I was able to return them, thank you!
