Leak Stereo 130 Integrated Amplifier (Solid State) Leak Stereo 130 Retro style with a bang up to date interior! Bought on a whim and never really used. Presents in mint condition. Complete with original packaging. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: Cash EFT Region/State: (SA) South Australia/Australia By TheFreshPrince 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $1,149 Date: February 14, 20251 yr
The A$1,149 ask is above the typical used market for this sample and sits comfortably over the A$436 median, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair unless the condition/accessory set is unusually strong. It is also well above the A$1,472 75th percentile? Actually, no—it is below that upper quartile, so it is not an outlier-high listing, but it is still priced at a premium to most comparables.
That premium only really makes sense if this one is genuinely close to mint, well cared for, and complete with the sort of extras buyers like to see. These are nicely regarded integrated amps for clean, capable solid-state performance, so a tidy example can be worth paying up for if you want a dependable daily driver and the cosmetics are strong. I’d want to see clear proof of condition and included accessories before calling it a buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1934 by Harold Joseph Leak in London, England, LEAK emerged as a pioneering force in British hi-fi, initially crafting public address systems and cinema amplifiers before pivoting to high-fidelity home audio amid post-war innovation. With engineer Ted Ashley's contributions, the brand rode the 1950s hi-fi boom, producing landmark valve amplifiers like the TL/12 series, which set benchmarks for low distortion and performance, establishing LEAK as a global leader in affordable excellence.
LEAK specialized in integrated amplifiers, such as the iconic Stereo 20, Stereo 30, and Stereo 50, alongside innovative loudspeakers featuring the patented "Sandwich" foam-core drivers for precise bass and clarity. The lineup extended to radio tuners, pickups, tonearms, and turntables, blending valve warmth with emerging transistor tech to dominate the stereo era.
Acquired by the Rank Organisation in 1969 and dormant by the late 1970s amid Japanese competition, LEAK's revival under the IAG Group since 2020 honors its heritage with modern classics like the Stereo 130 and 230 integrated amplifiers, plus CD transports and streamers. Revered by vintage collectors for cult models like the Stereo 30, it holds mid-tier prestige today—delivering high-end British sound at accessible prices for discerning buyers seeking timeless refinement.
