New & Noteworthy: Slim Possibilities
No one wants to accessorize a sleek new TV with a portly audio system. So as flat-panel TVs get thinner, speaker manufacturers struggle to trim inches from their products too. At least one contestant seems to have won this battle of the bulge: Leon Speakers’ 414-LCR-X-A. [ Read more]

Leon Speakers moves to bigger A2 HQ, plans to add up to 35 employees
When Noah Kaplan and Jeff Gordon founded Leon Speakers in 1998, they had no idea that, not only would they make careers out of it, but said careers would be thriving. Leon's niche is the design and manufacture of custom-built on-wall speakers for flat plasma screen televisions. What really sets them apart, however, is the invisibility of the speakers. "We make each cabinet to exact size and color of any plasma TV, in three to five days." That one-of-a-kind craftsmanship coupled with a quick turnaround gives their dealers around the country good reason to recommend Leon to their audiophile clients -- they are currently able to produce 3,000 to 5,000 custom boxes a year.

Peer Review by Bill Maronet of ETC, West Palm Beach,
FL
How do you rate Leon Speakers? One, they sound great,
but the other part of it is that Leon custom matches
them to the different displays that we put in. So,
say a client wants a Sony plasma and they want the
speakers on the bottom or the top, [Leon] matches
the display so it looks like the speakers are part
of the display. You can easily put them on the side
or the bottom or wherever the customer thinks is best
or fits best. You are not stuck with whatever speaker
comes with the display. [ Read
