I have some mystery Leak speakers on their way to me, from the family of a late relative. All I know is they're bookshelf speakers ... and presumably old (he would not have been buying hifi in the last 10 years). I will need your help in confirming model/value ... will post pics once available!

Pictures will be needed but, If they are bookshelf models, then we can definitely discount 2075s and 3090s!

IIRC many "bookshelf" Leak speakers were just "smaller" versions of their bigger brothers. I have a pair of Leak 2020s that look like the larger sandwich 3-way products but they are 2-way. I used to have them hooked up to a Stereo-20 and at the time thought the mid-range was a bit recessed, but later on used them with an Amptastic and they sounded nicely balanced.

Will look forward to seeing the pics. Hope you find them in nice nick, and that they sound good to you.

Unless they're appropriate for my desk based system, I'll simply photograph them and sell them on. I know nothing of Leak, so will be intriguing to see what they are.

I looked in some old Hifi Yearbooks. I had forgotten these stepped baffle models from 1980.

In 1974 the Sandwich models were listed, so the 2000 series from Rank must’ve been in between. It’s a bit misty now in my mind!

I have always fancied trying a pair of the stepped baffle models but they suffer badly from foam rot and most of the ones I come across seem to have replacement, non-standard drivers

Just googled those, I've seen smaller wardrobes!
Mention of Leak speakers reminded me of a time long ago when I had a pair, I think they were 2060’s. I had them hooked up to a Yamaha integrated with an Aiwa 6900 cassette deck. Late 70’s in the Middle East, sold the amp and speakers to a friend from New Zealand!

I see them on gumtree for £30-40 sometimes. They're not classics though like Kef and B&W.
