Anybody ever heard of "Leak" Speakers???

My son was wondering if they are worth a squirt. I think the Lava Lamps is worth more than the speakers but IDK.

Forget about the lava lamp, it's just childish rubbish comparing to the speakers....

Nope, but the brand itself is more than okay.

If you want to find out... Google is your friend.

I have heard of them; I have not heard them.

They have a following... Grab if cheap.

They are in a house he may be flipping, the guy said he could have them.

Leaks are well regarded. British brand I believe. Worth a listen.

A few years ago, I gave a friend a pair of Leak Sandwich 150 speakers and a Kenwood KA-3500 integrated. They were to replace his old, out of commission amp and a pair of likewise Pioneer HPM60's. Those leak speakers were the nicest sounding, non-floor standing speakers I had. His intent was to play music in the room he had setup with his salt water aquariums when he spent time watching his fish. Quite cool actually.

But then his rap loving, bong sucking twin twenty-something year old sons appropriated the stereo and destroyed it. I was not pleased. His response was something like "Whattaya gonna do, boys will be boys".

He wouldn't say but that made me strongly believe that's what happened to his old amp and speakers.

The sandwich construction of those Leak woofer cones was intriguing. A styrofoam wafer sandwiched between two sheets of aluminum "foil". Online, I saw old info showing/stating a standing person putting their whole weight on the apex of the cone and not crushing it. The analogy given was pressing an egg end to end, between both hands without the shell breaking.

That one is cool Fred

We need to combine with the Van DeGraf generator so it throws sparks off the top!

 

[FredR]

Agreed. I have two from UK.

Van de Graaf was brilliant.

And of course Nikola Tesla.

Hard to be sure with the grilles in place, but those might be Leak 2075 speakers. I'm just going by the general shape and the indistinct shape of the drivers behind the grilles.

I have Leak Sandwich speakers:







Nando.

Yes. It is insane!
