Wharfedale Lintons ... Any great amp pairings?


Just got a new pair of current Wharfedale Lintons. Am enjoying them.

Would like to hear if anyone has found an AMP pairing for their Lintons they find to be awesome/excellent/surprising. A basic Peachtree Nova I had and an LTA Ultralinear both sound good so far, but my gut tells me there is an exceptional match to be found that someone on here knows about. Please share.

Thank you in advance.

I really like the Lintons and have them matched with a Rotel 1572 MK II preamp and RB-1552 MK II power amp. Really enjoy the Rotel combo with all it's features. The Lintons have a nice midrange and also the imaging is very good when placed properly. Their a very good value in my estimation.

In my experience, the Lintons pair well with "brighter", powerful amplification.

Class D, like the parasound 200 integrated, brings them to another level.

Someone mentioned yamaha, i believe that.

REGA OSIRIS is a sensational beefy yet refined amp if you have the budget for it . I run my HARBETH M30.2XD’s and ATC C1 Mk2 subwoofer with it.

highly recommended :

The philosophy is clear.

(1) An affordable speaker driven with a refined, robust, quality amplification (and source) makes more sense than an expensive speaker paired up with a budget or cheap amp (and source.).

(2) In my view, good value doesn’t come down to how cheap something is; for me, it’s about how much you get for the money. In those terms, these Wharfedales represent excellent value. When it comes to build, engineering content, and performance, paired up with the “right” upstream components, they have what it takes .
