Linton

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

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

Perlisten and Arendal are just about the best built speakers out there these days, and they are both built in China. China can make great stuff as long as the production is controlled tightly. That said, there is a thread on one of the audio forums with internal pictures of the Wharfedale Elysian, a

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

I have owned this NAD and ran it with some Wharfedale Linton’s speakers. I didn’t care for the combo. The Hypex ucd amp section just didnt have enough current for the Lintons that dig down deep. The result was a lean sound that left me longing for more. I then ran the C3050 as a preamp feeding a Wil

Check second hand Hegel H80s for the amp, if you like the Røst sound, you should be able to score one for under 500€. For techno, I would not recommend a wharfedale linton, I own a set but I don't think the sound signature is good for electronic music. Maybe dynaudio would be an inteesting choice

Lots of them since speaker companies have realised they can make a good deal of money by refurbishing old vintage models with "modern cross-overs"and charge ridiculous amounts of money for the emotional buyers. The Wharfedale Lintons, Super Lintons or the Emotiva Nostalgia are a few, priced crazy mo

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

I have a marantz 70s with wharfedale lintons. But i'm missing the lack of bass in my setup. I'm an avid listener of house and other electronic music, next to blues/jazz/rock. But i have a feeling i'm missing out because of my setup. I have already considered changing the marantz to something where i

Hi, I believe it’s missing control, as well as rhythmic drive when things get complex. Also the Lintons are warm, the super lintons are not - they are very different. Positioning is exactly as per Wharfedale instructions and I think that’s fine. More than anything I’m experimenting - I want to hear
