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 saw the Linton  at Music Direct today the stands looks very nice, next time I will try to audition them.My guest they are good musical speakers. 
Mine are in the living/listening room. I’ve had them about 2 months. Power is a Music Hall ss amp (125rms/channel) with an Oppo 83SE & Nordost interconnects. Sound is great. However, I think my ears beckon a return to my Thiel years. With that in mind, I may consider selling the pristine pair, with matching stands for 1,000. Orig. packaging is held. Final note- pickup only. Although the original packaging is substantial, I fear the cost of 4 large boxes and the worst case scenario- damage.

We listen, learn and love.
Any idea how these would mate with denon receiver (4310) rega planar 6, newer one, turntable, jolida phono preamp, oppo hi rez players and Nak tape deck? As well, they would serve as front channels for Axiom Audio surrounds and ep500 sub. In essence, would I be p,eased if moving from Axiom M80 floorstanders? I care about music quality, 2 channel and multi, albums, tapes and hi-rez media more than home theater and feel the sub can do its job the as can the surrounds, but what about the sound of music? I love the looks and do want to have a great listening experience, especially for albums. Thanks for any guidance.
