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
Buchardt? No, sorry. In your price range- NEW: The BMR Monitor (Price per Pair) STUNNING SOUND STAGE, clarity and dynamics. Mofi Electronics - SourcePoint 8 Bookshelf Speakers (Walnut, Pair) **OPEN BOX** - Music Direct (warmth, dynamics, bass, imaging) USED: Spendor Classic 3/1 For Sale - US Audio Mart super sweet midrange and bass that can be used without subwoofer |
Well, the Super Lintons have good crossovers, we can agree on that. Here was Danny's take on the Dynaudio Special 40 from three years ago. He wasn't impressed.

Picked up Special 40’s . Too good a deal to pass up . like new , local deal very easy. Honestly after using for an hour or so they seem to be Exactly what I was looking for sound Larger than they should , wonderful mid bass , really adds “Gravitas” to the music . Oh they are musical and can disappear in room voices are lifelike and very present , soundstage is great . highs are slightly forward not a bad thing tends to add depth Of course my ears & my room all very subjective I do not think I could use a larger speaker and the range of these 40’s are very impressive Danny likes the Lintons and he knows speakers much better than I . That said I know what I hear and happy with it . |
