Leon Speakers is a North American company producing a variety of custom wall-mounted and in-wall speakers, as well as conventional subwoofers. Founded in May 1997 by Jeff Gordon (CEO) and Noah Kaplan (President), the two entrepreneurs shared a passion for music and sought to combine the aesthetics of design with the dynamics of high fidelity audio.

In 1998, Leon pioneered the concept of the on wall speaker for plasma televisions. Leon custom built speakers to match the exact height and finish of any plasma display.
Leon's most ambitious product to date began to take form in 2001. The resulting Horizon series was the industry's first all-in-one LCR Soundbar. While there are many "soundbar" products available today, Leon is unique in the fact that they custom build every speaker to match the exact width and finish of any flat panel display. The Horizon continues to be the company's best selling line.
Now firmly established as a 'speakerbar' company Leon designed a first for high-performance speakers—inside a wall. The Vault in-wall loudspeakers (released 2004) challenged the entire audio industry by releasing in-wall speakers with sealed MDF back boxes, producing true high-performance sound.
Leon has recently announced a new line of in-ceiling speakers that will launch at the 2009 CEDIA Expo.
