Finally: Super Linton

I love the Super Lintons and use them in my TV setup as well. Not a fan of running speaker cables in the wall though. 2.0 isn’t ideal for TV listening, especially with dialog, so I added a center, a Wharfedale Evo 5.C, and switched from an integrated amplifier to an AVR … what a difference that made

My small room listening setup complete

This is a 9 sq.m. room that I tried to cram everything in. I used to have the Wharfedale Linton here and finally accepted that it was quite too big. 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

PSA: KEF R5 Metas are on sale, around 3K a pair

That’s about what I paid when they went on sale in March pre-tariffs. They are great speakers for 2 channel listening and definitely good value at that $1500/speaker. I chose these over the Wharfedale super lintons due to their better clarity and sharpness.

Saying Bye To My Cornwalls Next Month...

Yeah I've been considering wharfedale super Lintons and jbl l100 MK2. My budget is ~$3k new or used, and I want something with a retro hifi stereo system aesthetic. They both look worse to me and require stands. I really like that the Cornwalls feel like furniture, and the fortes will do that to an

Reverse Engineering the Wharfedale Dovedale 90th Anniversary Speakers

If you are going through the effort of doing a custom build you should use a higher quality mid and tweeter. You can have better sensitivity, less basket resonance on the mid, and a higher first breakup mode on the tweeter. https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-SIG150-4-5.25-Signature-Series-Wo

Wharfedale Linton vs Super Linton vs KLH Model Five

I have the Klh Model 5s and I love them but room placement and toe in angle are very important to tame the tweeter. Basically if you can pull them 2-3 feet out and point them straight ahead or with minimal toe in and bring the back selector to low the speaker will give you great bass, a warm midrang

Speakers for tube amp / Live Grateful Dead

They aren’t floor standing in the traditional sense, but Wharfedale super lintons are in my opinion perfect for old Dead recordings.

Wharfedale Linton vs Super Linton vs KLH Model Five

I just updated my speakers to a set of Wharfedale Super Lintons. I use a similar amplifier the Yamaha A-S1100 and the super Lintons are really great. I use a Rel T/X9 SE sub and plan to get a second one but overall the Super Lintons have been a really great upgrade. The Super Lintons not only sound

How important is speaker placement?

I have Wharfedale Super Lintons and RSL Speedwoofer 10es (x2). My neighbor has my old set of B&W 801 D4 speakers (I wanted a very expensive car and had to make a choice!) When my neighbor bought my speakers, he was incredibly disappointed in them even though he had spent countless hours listening to

My nirvana

Very, cool setup. I personally just switched to a set of Wharfedale Super Linton speakers. What do think of the Evo 5.3? They are really beautiful. Any thoughts to moving the speakers to separate stands? Unfortunately, that close to the table you will get troublesome vibrations that may affect track
