I heard the Leedh speakers at CES 1988. The speakers were in a room with Audio Matiere Equilibre amp and Audio Matiere Paraphrase preamp designed by Jean Jaques De Leewen. I think that was his name. His company later was purchased by Audio Aero. The Leedh speakers were the ones with Piezo egg shaped tweeters designed by Audax. They had some of the best sound I ever heard and I still remember it to this day. If those were the speakers you have I would cherish them. I heard the gas or air that was injected into those tweeters leaked out and I don't think they are replaceable.

Leedh Aura Speakers
Hi,
I just purchased some Leedh Aura II speakers, French made and never officially imported into the US as far as I know, and I'm trying to find out as much as I can about them. I have a few questions about the Leedh Aura speakers:
1. My understanding is that the original version, the Aura 1's, used an internal driver in the cabinet’s cavity. I'm not sure why the II's went away from that topology. Any thoughts?
2. Where in the room is the best place to position them? Close to the walls or away out in the middle of the room?
3. Any ideas of where I might find a copy of the manual, reviews or any literature on the Leedh Aura series of speakers? Any websites?
4. I know that they were designed by Gilles Millot of Focal; was there ever an Aura III (3) version? The Aura's speaker series are supposed to be a Gilles Millot masterpieces.
5. The Aura 2's require bi-amplification, did the Aura 1's?
6. Since the Aura II's need to be bi-amplified, I was thinking of tubes on top and solid-state on the bottom. Any thoughts or suggestions from those familiar with the Leedh Aura speaker series?
7. Any pictures of the Aura's or of other Aura speakers or set-ups?
8. My Aura's cabinets are finished in black, but I have also seen some blond cabinets. I wonder if there were any other finishes available?
9. My Aura's are from 1984. The original design I believe came out in 1983. Do you know what the year range was for the Leedh Aura series? 1983 to ?
10. What were the retail prices for the speakers? For the Aura I, Aura II and Aura III's (if there was such a thing)? And retail prices for any other version of the Leedh Aura's?
I appreciate your time and any insight or guidance that you can provide me.
Thanks,
Carlos
