Dynaudio Special 40's vs Wharfedale Super Lintons


Need some input - Can't find either to Demo - Both  seem to have very good reviews [ generally speaking ] 

My take on the discussions - Dynaudio - High quality build & components , Neutral sounding , may be tricky finding room placement .

Super Lintons - Warmer , not as critical placement . 

My listening sessions tend to start out critical and if music is right goes into relaxed layed back listening .

Equipment - Cronos mag int amp , Exposure 2510 int amp [ current favorite ] due in - exposure 3510 mono blocks .

Speakers -Golden ear BRX , Magnepan LRS+ [ Mono blocks going to power these} 

Room is challenging as basement height just over 7 ft.  room is approx 13ft x 14ft * but open to similar size area on side 

Most often using LP's [ E.A.T Turntable  Ortophon Blue cart]   , Music 75% Jazz , rest is mixed Vocals , Classical , some 70"s Rock 

Seems like the Super Lintons may be safer all around , but the S40's may bring something " Special " to the set up

I had the Lintons for a month and now I have Evoke 20s. I found the Lintons absolutely painful, disappointing, uninvolving, I would take a Dynaudio over them any day.

and I should add, I have read/seen a lot of rave reviews about the Lintons. Some from very reliable sources like Erin's audio corner. The highs of the Special 40s will be top of the line, and mediocre from the Linton. They may have comparable bass.
