## Description

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 BassWhen 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, elegantly detailed, full-range sound with a magnetic personality that m

Review: Beautiful depth and musical stage. - System: Marantz SA-8005 CD player, Marantz PM-8005 integrated amplifier, Nerve Audio Axon-ST-.5 half meter RCA terminal interconnects, Mission 760i stand speakers, 2 cm wide flat oxyacid-free speaker cable with chrome banana plugs. I've enjoyed this system since about 2013, though I've had the speakers and speaker cable since about 1990. The speakers are sweet, classic, and enjoyable at high or low volume. But not to belabor the point .... I've listened to many high-end systems over time, ranging in total value from 5K to 250K, set up in studios and homes, though I must say I've always enjoyed home audio environments the most. My personal systems have always been in the 5K-15K range, being a bit of an audiophile without a high-end budget. Thus, I consider myself an entry-level audiophile with a proclivity to enjoy pure analog sound, enjoying a wide variation of music, though I'm not a jazz fanatic. I'm also more invested in CD's nowadays rather than vinyl, though I once dearly loved reel-to-reel taped audio directly from source recordings. Each of the sound sources can obviously bias one's impression of any audio system. First upgrade was to change out my Mission 760i's (love these classic speakers) for a pair of Warfedale Linton Anniversary 85 speakers. I chose these for their classic design and cabinetry, history of appeal to nearly anyone who buys them, sensitivity, warmth, and handling with separate high-flux ferrite magnet tweeter, isolated midrange, and well-balanced bass. I was not disappointed, indeed elated, instantly recognizing the superb increase in depth and detailed delivery of well-staged sound, with the Marantz components delivering plenty of power to drive the speakers, providing excellent separation of sound level and instrumentation. I can honestly say that I've never enjoyed a pair of speakers more, in any environment. Yet, upon purchasing the speakers, I knew my speaker cabling required significant upgrade. At times, I lust after higher-end componentry, specifically speaker cables and interconnects, knowing that they can make or break any system. Without excellent cables and interconnects, any system can be fully drained of its potential for providing an immersive listening experience. However, I'm not wealthy by any means, though I don't mind pushing my budget to the limits for the best sound I can afford without sending my pocketbook into a death spiral. I'd once owned a pair of AudioQuest Rocket 33 speaker cables and enjoyed the full-range delivery of sound they provided in a modest system, so I chose to upgrade a bit to the AudioQuest Rocket 44 speaker cables, which arrived a couple of days after my Warfedale Lintons. I swapped out my old 2 cm flat cables and voila! Instantly, the sound became fully 3-dimensional, completely staged for instrumental position and precision timing, with far greater resolution of instrumentality. Instead of feeling as if I was listening through a barrier, I felt as if I was before a stage absorbing the continuous vibration of pure analog from multiple sources and throaty voices, instead of the bulletized haze of digitally produced CD sound. The overlay of sounds across the high-, mid-, and bass ranges was transformed from division to smooth blending, improving my listening experience much more than multifold, to nearly exponential. There is nothing like enjoying the full sensitivity of excellent speakers, without constraint (90 db for the Warfedale Lintons). The same CD's sounded like different recordings of the identical lovely session, with expanded dynamic range. I cannot recommend highly enough any of the componentry of my modest system, which should bring satisfaction to any discerning pair of ears and the heart of an audiophile or musician, especially one on a budget and interested in a soothing home environment. I'm fully pleased with the Marantz core (if you purchase new equivalents, the PM-8006 and SA-8006), AudioQuest 44 speaker cables, and Warfedale Linton 85th Anniversary speakers. Moreover, the Warfedale speakers are quite beautiful and meticulously crafted, adding aesthetic presence to any room. Next change: swapping out the Nerve Audio interconnects for AudioQuest interconnects, likely Water or Earth in keeping with the level of rest of the system. I would encourage anyone reading to take a similar journey. Really remarkable service from MusicDirect for delivery of the Warfedales and SoundApproach for delivery of the AudioQuest cables. Thanks for reading. ~Animasticus.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic
*by H***J on April 11, 2025*

Great new loudspeakers! Sound is stunning. Great buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbelievable for the money- period
*by P***P on April 13, 2021*

The speakers have the look of throwbacks to the 70's. May not be everyone's cup of tea. I personally love the look especially with matching stands but I'm old! However, they sound very modern. Finish looks very uniform and at a much higher level than you would expect for the price. The speakers have a sound that allows you to look into the performance without some of the crazy sound some consider high definition (eg; excessive brightness.) Very smooth and refined (balanced acoustic spectrum) So easy to sit and just listen without being or wanting to be analytical. I've been an audiophile for 55+ years and I've never been more satisfied with a purchase than these speakers and that's saying something.
