Three loudspeakers

摘要

Here we audition three models ranging in price from £250-£300 and all from British manufacturers. But which will top our trio when it comes to musical performance?The 3080 is the largest of the Leak 3000 series time-delay compensated loudspeakers. The main part of the enclosure is a rectangular box, finished in 'teak' (what else?), with a black painted back. To the front of this box is attached a grey moulding of thick plastic, having a stepped front to accommodate the three units. The first 30mm of the moulding at the top is flush with the sides of the wood part, after which it is stepped slightly in to leave a forward-facing ledge, vertical at the top and sloping outwards at the bottom. Against this ledge butts a wooden-sided frame, covered with black semi-transparent material, which completes an overall rectangular shape.
