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.

If you are talking Linton 85ths, I have a ps audio s300 and the BHK pre….they sound superb with the Lintons…. I absolutely love the s300…it replaced a musical reference RM9 Mkii tube amp in my system and I haven’t looked back (if that is a useful reference).

In my 40+ years of this insanity, I can truly say that the Lintons are probably the best audio bang I ever got. Great choice.

Bottom Line: Even small speakers need lots of good clean power to shine…I’d recommend something at least 100/channel

By the way….these are NOT a lower-tier speaker to be matched with “lower-tier” amplifiers as suggested above…they just happen to be obscenely underpriced. Your mileage may indeed vary… but my 85ths have kicked much more expensive speakers to my curb. Appropriately price? Maybe they're just appropriately price?Appropriately priced?

 A Cambridge evo has the detail dynamics and drive to do those justice I would bet.  

@ml8764ag , yes sir... s300 with Lintons is a good audio treat.  The ps audio really takes them to a satisfying level.
