Savory and Soulful, with Timeless Looks: Leak Sandwich 150 Bookshelf Loudspeakers Feature Aluminum-Foamcore Drivers, Play with Precision, Depth, and Clarity
Forget the club or BLT. The Leak Sandwich 150 bookshelf loudspeakers are a much more savory option. Named after the aluminum-foamcore “sandwich” cone technology that allows them to broadcast everything from nuanced details to powerful attacks with a desirable combination of faithfulness and impact, these two-way vented-box units continue to adhere to the quality and stylishness that has again put the historic U.K. brand at the forefront of the high-end community.
Measuring 16.3 x 9.8 x 12.4 inches (HWD), Sandwich 150 prizes clarity, accuracy, and soundstaging — all British traditions. Ideal for small and medium-sized rooms, each speaker boasts a 1.2-inch coated textile dome tweeter and 6.5-inch sandwich driver. Lightweight albeit rigid, the driver set — inspired by the 1961 Leak Sandwich design and bolstered by stiff aluminum skin bonded to aircraft-grade PMI structural foam — plays music with surprising depth, bang-on precision, and remarkable transparency. Excellent damping properties, dual rear ports, and advanced acoustic engineering further contribute to the performance of a bookshelf model that will instantly remind you why the British practically owned this sector during hi-fi’s romanticized golden age.
If the sonics aren’t enough, one look at the retro-minded cabinetry — appointed with hand-applied walnut veneer along with elegant aluminum trims and inserts — will take you back to a time when craftsmanship remained paramount. With Leak, it never left. Rated at 86.5dB sensitivity and featuring detachable grilles, Sandwich 150 can be placed on a solid surface or a pair of stands (available separately). Pair them with a capable amplification source — they sing with the Leak Stereo 130 and 230 — and hear what great sound really sounds like.
