Good sales pitch! I’m by no means tired of tower speakers but I have to agree that the Lintons with their dedicated stands make for a compelling visual package. Look forward to hearing them.

These are fun speakers. They are musical and smooth. An absolute pleasure to hear with tubes.
I cannot believe how well made they are at this price point. I'd like to wheel in a pair of Harbeths or Spendors (classic type) to have a shootout. The stands are well executed. Everything feels substantial and high end. Color me impressed.

FYI, here is a recent in-depth review by Stereophile: https://www.stereophile.com/content/wharfedale-linton-heritage-loudspeaker |
So I have a pair about 30-35 hours on them. Paired with PrimaLuna Integrate with KT150s/KT88s/EL34s & NOS Brimar/NOS RCA ClearTops 12AU7s. These speakers sound terrible! All BOOM and VERY forward mids. No highs to speak of. Added plugs to rear bass ports with minimal results. I have them on the matching stands with 1.5 inch foam between to speakers & stands.If these do not break in & clear up some they're going back! Totally disappointed at this point.I had a 1 on 1 conversation with jbhiller who has these too and his info was helpful but unless these need more time I just don't see anything good here. Speakers are positioned about 4 feet from rear wall but room is fairly well furnished. My 2 cents. |
