Linton

Many new series of speakers do. But Wharfedale was doing a retro revival of its early era speakers with the Linton. They also revived the Dovedale from the 1960s, as the retro equivalent of a floorstanding speaker - massive box still with three drivers, but gigantic woofer. Four driver tower speaker

While I'm generally not a fan, I would do a Wiim Amp Ultra (probably around 1/4 of your budget), then go listening to speakers. Wharfedale Lintons, the Elac Debut 3 towers, or something like that, but you have a decent amount of volume and bookshelf speakers aren't going to move enough air. You also

I went through a similar situation. Went from an 1980’s Pioneer SX3700 to a Yamaha S701. I love the Pioneer but it needs to be serviced as it’s over 40 years old. At first, I really disliked the Yamaha . Going from a retro Class A amp rated at 35 watts per channel to a 100 watts per channel Class AB

It is supposed that the famous boominess from the Lintons is solved in the Super Lintons since Wharfedale says that is safe to put them 30 cm away from the wall, thing that I’ve done and I don’t suffer from boominess, at least from my experience so far.

I’ve gone back and forth on klipsch. Had a chance to buy the heresy iv. I bought Kef instead and am happy. On the verge of buying again now and deciding between Kef and wharfedale super lintons. I just have heard people say that klipsch are great BUT BUT BUT BUT….you know? They look amazing. But the

I don't have a sub. I just have wharfedale super lintons. I listen to classic rock and classic metal. I have a sub in my 5.1 surround. But I don't feel it adds much

The JBL L100s are classics that would pair well with your vintage gear honestly. I've heard them with similar amps and they have that warm, lively sound. For future proofing to a larger space, they might struggle a bit in a 20x30 room. Used Klipsch Heresy IV or Forte IV could work better across both

I had them, not so happy with them... they were ok with tube preamp and class D power amp, but when I bought Accuphase, the sound became too "messy", too boomy... Changed them with Wharfedale Super Linton which were half of price, but much, much better in sound. Enjoy them!

Not many tbh but Wharfedale Linton 85th can get you down to upper 30s in the right room.

Just bought a pair of Wharfedale Linton 85th anniversary. Very happy so far. Got an SVS 1000 sealed sub too but it doesn't need to do much work!
