I will lend further support for the Super Linton.
I just placed this speaker in my second system one week ago. In a word, a fantastic speaker.
The retro design with beautiful veneers and the matching stands are just gorgeous.
The sound, however, is anything but retro. In this particular system, I can only bring the speakers 1-2 feet off of the front wall. It just so happens that the bass response is perfectly tuned for this placement. Perfectly clear, tight, deep bass response with excellent pitch definition. This is a very well balanced speaker with great detail. Beautiful shimmer to cymbals. Vocals very clear and articulate. For me, the best part is the expansive sound stage.
