The LEAK Sandwich 100 stands as the newest evolution of a storied loudspeaker tradition that first revolutionized the industry in 1961. As a compact two-way design, it carries forward the same uncompromising engineering philosophy that defined the original LEAK Sandwich, distilling decades of heritage into a modern, space-conscious form.

As the most streamlined addition to the contemporary lineup, joining the Sandwich 150 and 250, the Sandwich 100 proves that size is no barrier to performance. It consistently delivers the hallmark qualities that enthusiasts expect from LEAK: exceptional speed, precise articulation, and lifelike transparency.

While it is tailored for today's modern listening environments, the Sandwich 100 remains firmly rooted in the golden age of British hi-fi. By blending time-honored acoustic principles with cutting-edge materials, it offers a listening experience that is both nostalgic and technically superior.

A Heritage of Innovation: The LEAK Sandwich 100

The story of the LEAK Sandwich began in 1961 with a revolutionary breakthrough in driver technology. By bonding a lightweight foam core between aluminum skins, LEAK created a diaphragm that was both incredibly rigid and exceptionally light. This "sandwich" construction allowed for the rapid, accurate response and clean transients that became the brand's signature. Today, the Sandwich 100 carries this legacy forward, refining that original genius with 21st-century materials and engineering.

Masterfully Designed by Peter Comeau

The development of the Sandwich 100 was led by Peter Comeau, one of the most distinguished names in British loudspeaker design. With a career spanning back to the co-founding of Heybrook Hi-Fi in 1979 and overseeing acoustic design for iconic brands like Wharfedale and Mission, Comeau has channeled decades of expertise into this project. Working from research centres in Huntingdon and Shenzhen, he has successfully married traditional British audio values with modern acoustic science.

The Refined Sandwich Cone

At the core of the Sandwich 100 is a 5-inch mid-bass driver featuring a Rohacell structural foam core bonded between aluminum skins with aerospace-grade adhesives. This advanced material choice offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, preventing cone break-up and ensuring low distortion. Supported by a long-throw motor system and a high-gauss magnet, the result is a midrange that feels expressive and natural, paired with bass that remains tight and authoritative even at higher volumes.

High-Frequency Precision and Cohesion

Highs are handled by a 30mm coated textile dome tweeter. Larger than standard domes for a speaker this size, it allows for a lower crossover point and better power handling, resulting in a smooth, extended treble free from harshness. This is supported by a precision-engineered crossover network using high-grade components like polypropylene capacitors and air-core inductors. The network ensures perfect phase alignment, creating a stable stereo image and a natural tonal balance that sounds consistent no matter where you sit in the room.

Sophisticated Cabinetry and Aesthetic

The Sandwich 100 cabinet is an exercise in resonance control. Internal bracing and strategic acoustic damping eliminate unwanted vibrations, while the rear bass-reflex port adds depth without sacrificing clarity. Wrapped in a premium walnut finish with aluminum trim, the design is unmistakably British—understated and elegant. The soft-touch black front baffle provides a contemporary contrast, and the classic cloth grille can be removed to suit your personal style.

Built for the Modern Home

Compact yet powerful, the Sandwich 100 is perfectly suited for smaller living spaces or dedicated listening rooms. Whether placed on a shelf or a stand, it delivers an engaging performance across all genres, from delicate acoustic pieces to high-energy modern productions. As part of the modern Sandwich family—alongside the 150 and 250 models—it represents the perfect union of material science and musical authenticity.
