Could the LEAK Sandwich 100 speakers look or sound any more British? Eccentric name and effortlessly cool Retro New chic – tick and tick.

No, this is not a futuristic sandwich maker. It's a classic British-heritage-inspired pair of modern, £499 speakers, and they go on sale today. If the LEAK Sandwich 100 sounds like a name from another age, it is. LEAK is a British audio brand that was born in 1934, died in the 1970s, and was revived in 2020.

The marketing is to be believed. The Sandwich 100 sounds warm and rich, and is more forgiving than many clinical-sounding speakers. LEAK's parent company, IAG Group, also owns 'British Sound' stalwarts Wharfedale and Quad.

While 'Retro New' has been trending hard in 2026, LEAK actually released the Sandwich 250 and 150 back in 2024. The Sandwich 100 is the smallest of the line, but its spec sheet is still pretty impressive. Encased in a walnut veneer with distinct aluminium driver trims, these speakers wear their 1960s visuals on their sleeves.
