If you decided to go modern and bought a state of the art new television, running with a flatscreen and tons of plasma-stuff, it's most likely that you're a sound lover as well. Now, not that the TV-lovers and sound enthusiasts would be adversaries, and being an audiophile does not necessarily involve having a TV; however, a most nifty television would be a real shame without the proper sound. Leon have managed to create a loudspeaker that would not only match pretty much any plasma screen on the planet and look
good, but would also deliver you a sound well worthy of being compared to the sonic response offered by top-notch audiophiles in-room speakers.

The Leon Seven sports a massive milled aluminum enclosure and a very sturdy front baffle; everything is kept in place by an enhanced structure of braces and strutting allowing a performance that is virtually free from any unwanted resonance and cabinet coloration.

These speakers run on a pair of the acclaimed hand-made Eton Hexacone drivers completed with the Raven R2 True Ribbon tweeters. This way, the response of the Leon Seven reaches from a 40Hz bass reflex-rounded LF to an audiophile-grade 50kHz upper cutoff point.

If you are worried about how loud these speakers can get, rest assured as they are quite capable as far a rocking your room is concerned: regardless of whether you're using them for movies or music, these loudspeakers can throw a massive 250W RMS power in your room, each, allowing for a most impressive acoustic experience. These speakers also come with nifty cloth removable front grilles that let you instantly change the way your Leon Sevens look: let them on and enjoy a classic, "well-behaved" appearance or take them off for a wild look.

The Leon Seven sell for a rather hefty sum, running from $15K and topping $20K. Now, if you really feel like owning some of the planet's niftiest TV-side speakers, pay a visit to a Leon and ask for a Seven.
