Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary


These are fun speakers.  They are musical and smooth. An absolute pleasure to hear with tubes.

I cannot believe how well made they are at this price point.  I'd like to wheel in a pair of Harbeths or Spendors (classic type) to have a shootout.  The stands are well executed.  Everything feels substantial and high end.  Color me impressed.

I just bought a pair too, thanks to @cosmosound 

They are breaking in as we speak, but initial listening has been very enjoyable.  My other speakers are Spendor A4s, which will be hard to beat.  They do not sound similar whatsoever right now, but the Lintons still need some time, I know.

One question though for owners - Is there a specific right/left speaker?  I don't see anything labeled, or in the manual.  Usually this wouldn't even come up, as most speakers are not L/R specific, but the Linton's tweeters are not centered.

Right now I have the speakers positioned that each tweeter is a bit to the far right/left (outside).  Should they be inside? Does it matter?  I could always just swap them and decide which I prefer too...!
