A 63-year-old sandwich might not sound that appetising, but these speakers are anything but stale. Leak's new Sandwich 150 and 250 draw on the design of the firm's classic speaker which debuted in 1961, injected with plenty of modern technology to make what looks like a very tasty treat.
But Leak hasn't been lying dormant since then. The Cambridge-based company made a comeback in 2020 with its first new products since the 1970s. Now, just ahead of the Bristol Hi-Fi Show, it's looking to cement its place in the modern British hi-fi landscape.
The original Sandwich took its name from the unique construction of its mid/bass drive unit – it was the first to be made from a 'sandwich' of different materials, namely expanded polystyrene foam between two sheets of aluminium foil. Because it was light yet stiff, it reduced distortion, creating a more accurate sound.
The Sandwich 150 and 250 bring the concept into the 21st century. The outer surfaces use a stiff aluminium skin bonded to a core of aircraft-grade polymethacrylimide (PMI) structural foam for "immense rigidity", Leak claims.
The Sandwich 250 is the larger of the two standmounts, a three-way model that stands 65.5cm tall compared to the Sandwich 150, a two-way model with a height of 41.5cm. Both have a 30mm textile-dome tweeter – the 250 combines it with 280mm bass and 108mm midrange drivers, while the 150 only has a 170mm mid/bass driver. All these drivers feature Leak's trademark Aluminium-Foamcore Sandwich cone.
So how much do these Sandwiches cost? The 250 costs £1999 / $2495 / AU$4799 per pair, and the 150 is £999 / $1295 / AU$2399 per pair – about the same as a high street sandwich nowadays. The 250 plus dedicated floor stands will set you back £2299/ $2995 / AU$5699. They're available from mid-February.
