Description

Purists, Take Note: Leak Sandwich 250 Bookshelf Speakers Draw from the Golden-Age Past and Advanced Present, Play Music with Palpable Power, Clarity, Precision, and Depth

Get the best of two beloved approaches — golden-age craftsmanship and modern technology — in the Leak Sandwich 250 bookshelf speakers, and hear music anew with stunning depth, bang-on precision, and magnetic clarity. Intended for medium- and large-sized rooms, these three-way beauties thrive even under demanding conditions, reproducing huge dynamics and moving air with perceptible power. It goes without saying that these elegant 60-pound units will attract attention in any room in which they’re placed — even when they’re not in use. Hand-applied real-wood walnut veneer combines with clean, crisp aluminum trims and inserts to exude a look that’s both timeless and sophisticated.

Measuring 25.8 x 14.5 x 12.9 inches (HWD), Sandwich 250 adheres to British audio traditions. Namely, it thrives in the areas of accuracy, purity, soundstaging, and transparency. Inspired by those found in the 1961 Leak Sandwich model and bolstered by stiff aluminum skin bonded to aircraft-grade PMI structural foam, an 11-inch sandwich bass driver and 4.25-inch sandwich midrange account for the “meat” of each Sandwich 250. Lightweight albeit rigid, the sophisticated driver array — joined by a 1.2-inch coated textile dome tweeter — doesn’t just recreate what’s on your records, discs, or streams. This is a speaker that fully involves you in the experience and strives to render details, tones, atmospherics, and pacing with serious panache.

Audiophile-grade damping, dual rear ports, and advanced acoustic engineering further contribute to the performance of a retro-meets-modern design that will instantly remind you why the British practically owned this speaker sector during hi-fi’s romanticized past. Rated at 88.5dB sensitivity and featuring detachable grilles, Sandwich 250 really hits home when paired with the matching 250 speaker stands (available separately). Hook them up to a capable amplification source — they sing with the Leak Stereo 130 and 230 — and hear what great sound really sounds like.
