"Did you see this? Noah Kaplan was amazing with his great sideman Adam Roberts! Noah Kaplan, president of Leon Speakers dazzled the crowd of at least 400 people (maybe more, I am terrible at head count) painting a spectacular mural before our very eyes while Adam played a rockin’ history of jazz on his upright bass. Noah paints extraordinary murals, and as a way to give back, auctions them for charity. Wednesday night was no exception and Women in CE organized the event to benefit the Elf Foundation.” [Read more] |

"Custom loudspeakers are rarely inexpensive, but sometimes the scenario justifies the expense. Looking for a matching LCR configuration for that 103" plasma you just purchased? Leon Speakers is here to help. They're been manufacturing custom loudspeakers in their facility in Michigan (Go Red Wings!) since 1995 and their reputation in the custom installation world is quite solid. They have the ability to manufacture pretty much anything that you might need; including a 89" wide LCR configuration that blends perfectly with your flat-panel or projection screen. Stewart Filmscreen uses their products in one of their testing facilities and it isn't your average sounding soundbar.” [Read more] |

"The most dressed-up flat-panel TV in the universe has to be the Trithon REYN, displayed in the Leon Speakers booth at this week’s CEA Line Shows in New York City. Take a close look at the edge of the set. That’s python skin. The product is derived from three chapters of design history. The first is the Moisse Phantascope, a French 18th century magic lantern projection device which was used for Phantasmagoria, a forerunner of modern movies. The tripod is derived from an early American film camera from California circal 1910.” [Read more] |

Noah Kaplan, president, Leon Speakers, discusses the new Dealer Loyalty Program, creating the “Living Space” and I AM LEON!
CustomRetailer: Leon pioneered the soundbar speaker and for a long time has manufactured custom-built speakers to match flat-panel displays. Leon has enhanced its solutions beyond the soundbar to include architectural speakers, subwoofers, and much more. What prompted the expansion of Leon’s product offering?
Noah Kaplan: For over a decade we have focused on bringing theater-grade audio products to the modern living space. We knew that different design ethics and performance specs apply when integrating audio into these multiuse media rooms; so we have always taken an extreme approach to make our products “fit in.” Our Horizon and Profile Series are custombuilt to match the exact size and finish of any display, even if that display is a 103” plasma screen or a 1.5” deep LED. We did this so they can be heard, not seen—virtually becoming part of the TV..." [Read more] |

...By this time, I was operating the sub amp at two-thirds to three-quarters of its volume control’s range.

The precise pitches and long decay of the deep drum tones was impressive. It was also a surprisingly cerebral pleasure. I was reminded that this is what it’s like to be liberated from over energizing your room’s resonant frequency. [Read more] |
