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.

Linton’s vs Harbeth. That’s the comparison I would like to see.

They aren't even close and it might not be about quality- it's about voicing.  They are voiced differently and I prefer the Harbeth sound by a mile.

Can you give a short description of the difference you hear between the Harbeth and the Wharfdale's.
Thanks,
Steve

Very nice product especially with the matched stands.

I heard them at AXPONA and wasn't impressed. Maybe it was the source and amplification but they had an exaggerated upper midband and sucked out lower midband lending the sound a slight boom-tizz effect.
