Wharfedale Linton 85TH Anniversary Speakers


Does anyone own these speakers or have heard them?  I am interested in your impressions.  I am thinking of setting up a third system based on a tube integrated (TBD) with these speakers for Jazz listening. Source would be a SACD Player.   I have been looking at the speakers and the stands for under 1500.00.  I haven’t heard a Wharfedale since 1970 when we sold their bookshelf speakers in the audio store I worked in.  You filled the compartment in the rear with sand to tune them.  If I remember, it was a nice warm British Sound.

Have a pair of the Wharfedale Linton Heritage speakers with stands.  Do require some "breaking in."  Some reviewers believe it's the large base driver requiring such.  After 60+hours, they are becoming increasingly enjoyable.  Oppo 83SE player, Nordost interconnects to Music Hall a70.2 ss integrated amp. Also use Macbook pro (2012) with Dacit for some listening.  The Wharfs easily reveal differences/inconsistencies in streamed music from both Apple & Amazon.
