Linton

I had the same KEF speakers with the exact equivalent Marantz unit. Same Eames chair too 😂. It's the setup. I replaced the fronts with Wharfedale Super Lintons and got the depth I craved. We moved, then I added an Advance Paris A12 Classic and they really shine. I still use the Marantz for TV listen

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

To be honest, I both love and hate how revealing these Dunlavys are. On something like the classic example — Led Zeppelin — the clarity is unreal. You really do get that “oh wow… this is probably what Jimmy Page actually heard in the studio” moment. The lows go deep without getting sloppy, even when

Wharfedale lintons- they will your room!

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.

I just have heard people say that klipsch are great BUT BUT BUT BUT….you know? They look amazing. But the

Nice setup! I've got the Wharfedale Lintons with a Yamaha RN-600A. I have been loving the depth and soundstage with Bazan's albums. The song Modesto is absolutely amazing.

Always try to get speakers secondhand if you can - they are mostly wooden boxes, so furniture, not tech. Harbeth is the first name that springs to mind for what you say you want, with Spendor Classic equally appealing and Sonus Faber options not that far behind. Harbeth Super HL5 and Spendor Classic

Haven't heard the Linton Heritage 's but I reckon they got a retro 70's style soundstage = warm, laid back, forgiving, not the best resolution, speed or forward mids &/ treble. My previous floorstanders were like that + pretty dark. They were not in the 2k range tho. Get yourself the floorstander th
