Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "In short then? One of the most exciting, rousing and dramatic speaker designs I've heard in some time, the Leak 150 speakers – for that price point – provide a sensational performance." (https://theaudiophileman.com/fancy-a-sandwich-the-leak-150)
- "What initially knocked me back in my seat in a moment of unexpected incredulity was the depth and integrity of the soundfield. It was architecturally molded." (https://www.stereophile.com/content/leak-stereo-230-integrated-amplifier)
- "In fact, this large 150 tweeter sounds like it was gunning for the Folded Motion design from the Martin Logans. It sounded like the 150 tweeter was on the hunt because its been a while since I've heard a dome tweeter this open and dynamic." (https://theaudiophileman.com/fancy-a-sandwich-the-leak-150)
- "While the musical presentation is warm and generous, conforming to the archetype of the classic British sound, there's no shortage of power or definition. The Stereo 130/CDT combination is equally at home cranking out some punchy rock as it is crooning its way through smoky jazz vocals." (https://www.sound-advice.online/product-reviews/leak-stereo-130-amplifier)
- "The LEAK Sandwich 150 bring a lot of bass for such a small bookshelf speaker. The reputation that goes with bookshelf speakers is often that you will want a subwoofer to fill in the bass, but from my first listen, these speakers were very much bass-forward."
