Its an Ebay advert for a pair of Leak 3090 speakers.

I thought that my Tannoy Yorks were a bit on the big side but these
are an inch shy of 4ft tall!

I wonder what they sound like? Anyone any idea?

Best to all the New Year!

The 3090 was an update on the Leak 2075. On the 2075s the separate bass
TL uses a 15" foil/foam/foil sandwich driver.

I know the old 2075s, and they benefit from having the old reversible
electrolytics in the crossovers replaced by film caps (you'll need lots
of paralleled 10uf ones for the bass section!).

I used to work in an independant Hifi shop and we once ordered some B
stock Pioneer speakers as they were cheap and we were always getting kids
wanting cheap speakers. They turned up and were about 5' tall with two 15"
bass units, an 8" mid and dome tweeters all in a real wood veneer. They
needed a meaty amp to drive them but boy! could they shake the windows or
what! At first we thought what a bargain but it took ages to find a
customer who had room for them.

In a word? ****e.

Also, very loud. So, if you like your music to sound ****e, but very
loud, NIRVANA!! :-)

Not in any way comparable to Yorks, in case you were wondering.

Hi Stewart

It was the size thing that interested me. I just wondered who these
days woiuld have room for such things?

In the next few years as retirement beckons (we are already virtually
empty nesters) I reckon that we will have to go for a smaller more
modern house and the Yorks might have to go then for that reason
alone.

Regards

David

I do, but I don't live in a new build.

Keep looking around, you might find an older property with few rooms,
but big 'uns! Barn conversions are usually good that way.

You're being a bit harsh on the big Leaks Stewart! I know the sound of
the 2075s and with a cross-over update they sound very good; better than
a TLS80 IMO. (although when I used to use TLS50s, I always preferred
those to the larger TLS80.)

They don't go that loud though, compared with a similar size box
containing a 15" Tannoy Monitor Gold for example.
