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

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

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.

Current setup of 16 year old. Any thoughts and some questions from me.

First of all, hell yeah. This looks like a system that’s easy to fall in love with. Well done. 1: you can test that, you tell us 2: the Lintons are a good bit bigger than typical bookshelves, i know wharfedale makes dedicated stands for them. I’ve seen third party ones, maybe best to look for those.

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

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.

Suggestions for my setup?

On any day of the week, I’m a Source-First kinda guy but even I would say you need to focus on your speakers first. I’ve heard those Edifiers and am not a fan, even at their price. First thing I’d do is look for an integrated amp with headphones out (since you asked); you need an amp to run most spe

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

To sub or not to sub...

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

My new Super Lintons

Very nice setup. Let us know what you end up using on the grills if you reupholster them. I tried listening to my Super Lintons without the grills and definitely prefer them on. I've read that Wharfedale tuned them with the grills in place. To everyone saying to pull them away from the wall, the Sup
