Leak 3050
The Leak 3050 is a loudspeaker from the company's 3000 Series. It came in matched walnut veneer enclosures. Not much information survives. A single review and a brief product listing supply most of what is known.
High-Fidelity (June 1978, p.66) noted that the 3050 has no built-in tweeter control. Tonal balance depends on speaker placement and the amplifier's tone controls. Placement affects bass response considerably. With the speaker on the floor but relatively far from side and rear walls, the reviewer found the bass output to be … (the text breaks off in the surviving copy). The rated frequency response, listed in HiFI-Stereo (January 1978, p.22), is 48 to 22,000 Hz ±3 dB. The same new-products item also described the 3050 as part of a series where the staggered driver locations complement the cabinet design.
Leak's own advertising for the 3000 Series spoke of a "distortion-free listening system" - free from harmonic, intermodulation, time-delay, and Doppler distortion. It also promoted the matched walnut veneer cabinets as part of that engineering effort. No production years, original price, or further specifications have been located.
