Leema Acoustics was founded in 1998 by former BBC engineers Lee Taylor and Mallory Nicholls, originally as a way to explore their shared passion for high-quality audio reproduction. The company’s first product, the Xen micro monitor, was developed for the professional audio market before gaining attention from home hi-fi listeners.

Leema later expanded into audio electronics, with products such as the Tucana integrated amplifier and Antila CD player earning strong praise and awards. Now based in Wales, Leema Acoustics continues to design and manufacture hi-fi products with a focus on engineering quality, musical performance and long-term listening enjoyment.
