Linton

Classic vintage warmth without being tiring, it’s Wharfedale Linton, and Super Lintons for me all the way.

Welcome to the analog fun times mate. I was similar, although running KT88s, and really it’s the best I've had it. I use to firmly believe you need the highest power you can afford, but now 25W on Triode and 45W on UL is actually more than enough with my Wharfedale Super Lintons. I never even touch

The Q Concerto Meta replaced that nicely, a little bit harder to drive but I feel that it's easier to control in such a small room. Used to always watc

Wharfedale Linton has got to be high on the list

I have the Linton 85s also and the build quality is excellent. My understanding is that while they are made in China, it is in a Wharfedale owned and operated factory. This allows them to have oversight on quality control as opposed to outsourcing a design to an existing chinese factory. Again, this
