There's No Expiration Date on Vintage Style and Sound: Three-Way Wharfedale Linton Loudspeakers Feature Eight-Inch Woofer and Play with Elevated Openness and Taut Bass When you look at the Wharfedale Linton loudspeaker, it's impossible not to sense the legacy of natural-sounding tradition, marvel at the classy styling, and smell the hand-veneered cabinets. One of the most iconic models in the British manufacturer's history, and one that dates back to 1965, the updated Linton retains its predecessor's warm, rich disposition while also offering an elevated degree of open, detailed playback that make it a modern classic. Featuring an eight-inch Kevlar woofer, five-inch Kevlar midrange, and one-inch soft-dome tweeter, the Stereophile Class B Recommended Linton exudes timeless audiophile sound, looks, and character. Gorgeously proportioned, the three-way Linton boasts an inset front baffle and traditional cloth grille that speak to its English roots. The woofer arrives mounted on a rigid, die-cast chassis that allows the unit to provide taut, controlled bass marked by engaging dynamics and remarkable extension. The midrange comes housed in its own enclosure for ample separation while the tweeter – complete with a high-flux ferrite magnet for smooth high-frequency reproduction – helps account for stellar timing and imaging. You can place Linton on stands of your choice or you can opt for the custom-made stands that also provide LP storage, available here. And, if you really want to go wild, you can get two pairs of Lintons and stack them. The result: Presence and imaging that will blow you away. Looking at Linton, it becomes immediately clear that there's no expiration date on vintage style. The same can be said about superior sound, which you'll also find Linton offers with abundance. 100% Music Direct Guaranteed. "The Wharfedale Lintons merge a refined

Great speakers, especially on treble and mid sounds. But, I'm a Baby Boomer into rock n roll, and it seemed a little lacking on bass, with "Aqualung" and other song featurin great bass sounds.So, I took out a reverse mortgage---or so it seemed---and got these Wharfedale Littons.As this is a family website, let me just say these are "frigging" amazing!I hear high-pitched instruments I never heard before, the change in guitar string sounds when they reverberate for that extra millisecond,, and the bass--from 8 in. midrange--- that is clearer but as strong as a 10 or 12 inch woofer!These British Wharfedales are not as common as Kliptsch g, JBL, etc., those can be found in sound rooms at Best Buy, etc.But if you can find a dedicated stereo shop---used to be a lot of them, but not so many now---it's worth up to an hour drive I'd say ---to listen to these!
5.0 out of 5 stars End game speakers.
These speakers 110% deliver the solid sound, presence and genuine aesthetic of that warm, inviting and highly approachable wooden box loudspeaker from the 1970s and 80s, but through modern high quality drivers, crossovers and design. You can listen to these for hours on end and not be fatigued with treble harshness. Wharfedale really outdid themselves with the value proposition of these speakers.Having always been looking at the Klipsch Heresy series as an end-game floor standing loudspeaker to give me the sound and look I wanted, I stumbled upon these as an less expensive option. As much as the Heresy is both revered and ridiculed by some, this is a more middle-of-the-road approach to achieving that heritage look and sound but not being overly indulgent in sensitivity to equipment. There’s no static or hum with unshielded electrical interference. These sound great with my 27 year old Sony AVR, but even better with my Yamaha 801. Their sensitivity is 90db and 6ohm which allows for a wide variety of acceptable amplification.The defining trait of their sound signature would be the smooth, non-fatiguing treble and punchy lower midrange. Smooth doesn’t mean they lack detail. Playing Led Zeppelin through these speakers is like listening to them play in your room. Vocals are clear and revealing, and you will feel the kick drums like they are 6 feet in front of you. I played ‘Enter Sandman’ off of Metallica’s Black Album on these speakers and ended up listening to the entire 63 minute album because these speakers sounded so energetic! It was like I never had heard the album the way it was supposed to be played!Imaging and soundstage are great, but maybe not as precise as the renowned Elac UB5. I have those as well and if I need to hear that precision during critical listening sessions, Elac’s truly excel in that regard. But the Elacs are much more fatiguing with their treble, the Lintons are not. That makes the Linton much more enjoyable for long listening sessions.Build quality is HQ furniture grade. The book matched walnut veneer is real. These are very solid and heavy. Well braced and have a solid sound when you knock with your fist. No resonance.Having these for several months now, I can honestly say they have been highly enjoyable and have eliminated my desire to keep upgrading speakers. They are end game. Lively and dynamic with Zeppelin and Metallica, but rich sounding and warm playing Simon and Garfunkel or James Taylor.Get these while you can.
5.0 out of 5 stars You won’t be disappointed!
These are the perfect speakers that give you the best of both worlds of having a system that sounds as good as a $10k Polk audio speaker set up. You don’t have to break your bank and the music coming out of the speakers sounds phenomenal right out the gate. There is a small break in time to get the speakers at their full sound potential. Cant recommend these enough.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Speaker
Excellent speakers. Beautiful cabinetry, pristine sound. Tight, firm bass, well developed midrange and superb tweeter dispersion.
5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific speakers!
Upgraded from a pair of Klipsch The Sixes which are self powered and beautiful sounding to the walnut Lintons man, what a sound these out out!Definitely more bass response and smooth trebles and mids. Powered by by a $300 Yamaha N-303 receiver and couldnt be more pleased!
5.0 out of 5 stars Clean and deep sound with my analog setup.
These are for my sound room. Analog set up and I am totally satisfied. They are larger in size than most systems.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Classic Design and Sound
I was coming from a set of Klipsch Heresy III that were smack in your face all the time. There is nothing warm or inviting about them but there was something magical when you played Led Zepplin on Vinyl at volumes that most people including my wife would cringe at. However, I'm getting older and those volumes very rarely get pushed and my listening style has changed dramatically. I sit back now and actually listen to what's being played at low to mid volumes. I have had a lot of equipment over the years and as much as I had loved my Klipsch they just didn't do it for me anymore. I wanted something warm, inviting, robust that I haven't had in a long time. I shopped around for weeks, read 100's of reviews and watched 100's of videos before I decided to pick these up. Skeptical due to there price for a 3 way design. They can't possible sound better then some of classics I have had over the years costing triple or quad what these cost. Well I can say after putting at 100 hrs on them with a tube pre and solid state amp 100 watts into 4 ohms, they are without a doubt a fantastic sounding speaker. Can you get better in this price range and up? You would have to dish out significantly more money to get what your getting here. Very Very happy with this purchase as these maybe the last set I ever own...
2.0 out of 5 stars sounds like a cheap speaker hidden in a wooden box
I had not very high but reasonable expectations for these speakers and I am very disappointed with the sound. I can't write about imaging because there is almost none. It's just 2 giant boxes with OK sound but not enjoyable in any way with any type of music. I have much smaller $150 speakers that sound far better than these.

Outstanding speakers. Astonishing depth, punch and detail
There are SO many fake reviews (including videos) out there, but I took the average of many reviews of these speakers, and decided to buy without actually hearing pair; and frankly, these speakers are every bit as good as they say.The depth, punch and detail from these speakers are astonishing. Driven by my 100+100W Yamaha amp with 24 bit DAC, this is the most amazing upgrade I have done, boosting the sound quality from "good" to extremely/astonishingly good. Yes, they look a bit old fashioned (and if anything, that is my only negative point), but if you want quality sound at all volumes, these are the speakers for you. My tastes in music are extremely varied; being anything from classical, to jazz to modern rock, and with each type of music, these speakers revealed details that I had not heard before. Wow.Oh, and regarding the build quality - top class.

Le casse sono stupefacenti per rapporto qualità prezzo.Dipende dai gusti certo ma sono molto morbide tipica sonorità inglese mai affaticante con un bel basso rotondo ma preciso.Le mie sono abbinate ad un ampli vintage Pioneer SA-7300 ed incontrano molto il mio gusto.Le ho ascoltate, però, anche con uno YAMAHA AS-1200 e devo dire che il suono molto naturale di quest'ultimo si sposa bene con i diffusori.
Cajas para toda la vida!
Cajas definitivas! Ya tengo las cajas que siempre habia querido, vale la pena gastar un poco mäs de dinero... mejor para salas grandes que pequeñas, sino mejor optad por las Denton. Por tema de m2...
