Welcome to our in-depth LEAK Sandwich 250 Review, where we explore Leak’s latest standmount marvel that fuses over 60 years of hi-fi expertise with cutting-edge sandwich driver technology. Designed for enthusiasts who demand both historical pedigree and sonic precision, the Sandwich 250 delivers a captivating listening experience that honours Leak’s storied past while embracing tomorrow’s innovations.

A Legacy of High Fidelity

Since first defining high fidelity in 1945 with the iconic Leak Point One amplifier and pioneering the sandwich cone diaphragm in 1961, Leak has remained at the forefront of audio innovation. The LEAK Sandwich 250 Standmount Loudspeakers carry this legacy forward, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering breakthroughs to produce sound that resonates with both authority and authenticity.

Cutting-Edge Sandwich Driver Technology

At the heart of the Sandwich 250 lies its advanced sandwich driver configuration: stiff aluminium skins bonded to a lightweight polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam core. This design yields exceptional rigidity and ultralow distortion, resulting in a frequency response of 42Hz–26kHz (±3dB) with bass extension down to 32Hz (–6dB). A robust 11" low-frequency driver and a 4.25" midrange both utilise this sandwich construction, delivering deep, controlled bass and rich mid-tones, while a 1.2" coated textile dome tweeter ensures pristine high-frequency clarity.

Acoustic Excellence in Cabinet Design

The Sandwich 250’s enclosure is as much a feat of acoustic engineering as its drivers. Constructed from a high-quality material sandwich with precision front-to-rear bracing and Leak’s signature countersunk rear screws, the cabinet minimises resonance and unwanted vibration. The result is a neutral, transparent sonic signature where every detail—from subtle reverb tails to complex orchestral crescendos—is rendered with striking accuracy.

Who Should Consider the Sandwich 250?

• Audiophiles seeking a standmount speaker with deep bass extension and studio-grade clarity
• Listeners who appreciate a blend of vintage design cues and modern acoustic performance
• Owners of high-power integrated amplifiers or separates (25–250W) looking for a versatile 6Ω speaker
• Home theatre enthusiasts wanting a compact front-channel solution with serious output (112dB peak SPL)
• Anyone who values a timeless real wood veneer—available in Walnut—and meticulous build quality
