Description

There's no expiration date on vintage style and sound – Wharfedale Linton 3-way speakers feature an 8-inch woofer and play with raised aperture and tense bass. When you look at the Wharfedale Linton speaker, it's impossible not to feel the legacy of natural tradition, marvel at the classic style and feel the hand-plated cabinets. One of the most iconic models in the history of the British manufacturer, and one from 1965, the updated Linton retains its warm and rich spirit of its predecessor, while offering a higher level of open and detailed reproduction that make it a modern classic. With an 8-inch Kevlar woofer, a 5-inch Kevlar medium, and a soft 1-inch tweeter, the stereophile- recommended Linton emits timeless audiophile sound, appearance, and character. Beautifully proportioned, the triple-layer Linton features an inset front panel and a traditional fabric grid that speaks to its English roots. The woofer is mounted in a hard die-cast housing that allows the device to deliver tonic, controlled bass, characterized by dynamic dynamics and remarkable expansion. The middle speaker is housed in its own box for abundant separation, while the tweeter is equipped with a high-flux ferrite magnet for smooth reproduction of high frequencies, helps display time measurements and images. You can place Linton on the medium you want or opt for the custom support that also provides LP storage. And if you really want to go wild, you can buy two pairs of linton and stack them. The result: presence and image that will delight you. In Linton, it immediately becomes clear that there is no vintage-style expiration date. The same can be said about a superior sound that Linton offers fully. 100% Music Direct. The Wharfedale Linton

    • Beautiful depth and musical stage.
System: Marantz SA-8005 CD player, Marantz PM-8005 integrated amplifier, Nerve Audio Axon-ST-.5 half meter RCA terminal interconnects, Mission 760i stand speakers, 2 cm wide flat oxyacid-free speaker cable with chrome banana plugs. I've enjoyed this system since about 2013, though I've had the speakers and speaker cable since about 1990. The speakers are sweet, classic, and enjoyable at high or low volume. But not to belabor the point .... I've listened to many high-end systems over time, ranging in total value from 5K to 250K, set up in studios and homes, though I must say I've always enjoyed home audio environments the most. My personal systems have always been in the 5K-15K range, being a bit of an audiophile without a high-end budget. Thus, I consider myself an entry-level audiophile with a proclivity to enjoy pure analog sound, enjoying a wide variation of music, though I'm not a jazz fanatic. I'm also more invested in CD's nowadays rather than vinyl, though I once dearly loved reel-to-reel taped audio directly from source recordings. Each of the sound sources can obviously bias one's impression of any audio system. First upgrade was to change out my Mission 760i's (love these classic speakers) for a pair of Warfedale Linton Anniversary 85 speakers. I chose these for their classic design and cabinetry, history of appeal to nearly anyone who buys them, sensitivity, warmth, and handling with separate high-flux ferrite magnet tweeter, isolated midrange, and well-balanced bass. I was not disappointed, indeed elated, instantly recognizing the superb increase in depth and detailed delivery of well-staged sound, with the Marantz components delivering plenty of power to drive the speakers, providing excellent separation of sound level and instrumentation. I can honestly say that I've never enjoyed a pair of speakers more, in any environment. Yet, upon purchasing the speakers, I knew my speaker cabling required significant upgrade. At times, I lust after higher-end componentry, specifically speaker cables and interconnects, knowing that they can make or break any system. Without excellent cables and interconnects, any system can be fully drained of its potential for providing an immersive listening experience. However, I'm not wealthy by any means, though I don't mind pushing my budget to the limits for the best sound I can afford without sending my pocketbook into a death spiral. I'd once owned a pair of AudioQuest Rocket 33 speaker cables and enjoyed the full-range delivery of sound they provided in a modest system, so I chose to upgrade a bit to the AudioQuest Rocket 44 speaker cables, which arrived a couple of days after my Warfedale Lintons. I swapped out my old 2 cm flat cables and voila! Instantly, the sound became fully 3-dimensional, completely staged for instrumental position and precision timing, with far greater resolution of instrumentality. Instead of feeling as if I was listening through a barrier, I felt as if I was before a stage absorbing the continuous vibration of pure analog from multiple sources and throaty voices, instead of the bulletized haze of digitally produced CD sound. The overlay of sounds across the high-, mid-, and bass ranges was transformed from division to smooth blending, improving my listening experience much more than multifold, to nearly exponential. There is nothing like enjoying the full sensitivity of excellent speakers, without constraint (90 db for the Warfedale Lintons). The same CD's sounded like different recordings of the identical lovely session, with expanded dynamic range. I cannot recommend highly enough any of the componentry of my modest system, which should bring satisfaction to any discerning pair of ears and the heart of an audiophile or musician, especially one on a budget and interested in a soothing home environment. I'm fully pleased with the Marantz core (if you purchase new equivalents, the PM-8006 and SA-8006), AudioQuest 44 speaker cables, and Warfedale Linton 85th Anniversary speakers. Moreover, the Warfedale speakers are quite beautiful and meticulously crafted, adding aesthetic presence to any room. Next change: swapping out the Nerve Audio interconnects for AudioQuest interconnects, likely Water or Earth in keeping with the level of rest of the system. I would encourage anyone reading to take a similar journey. Really remarkable service from MusicDirect for delivery of the Warfedales and SoundApproach for delivery of the AudioQuest cables. Thanks for reading. ~Animasticus. ... show more

    • Really Really nice
I've owned too many speakers to remember from way back in the 60s till now. I'm a musician so I want to hear every tiny thing in a recording. It is actually critical if you're a drummer, especially back in the pre-youtube days. You had to learn songs from recordings, sometimes in a few minutes and it was really important to know what was going on with percussion instruments; particularly cymbals and shakers. One of the biggest problems with digital audio from the beginning has always been reproducing cymbals, bass guitar and kick drums accurately and clearly. My point is that it's always been necessary for me to hear high fidelity music, and with all the recording, wiring and amplification problems, you sure don't want crappy speakers. These speakers are relatively small compared to the monster speakers from the 70s but somehow capture that essence of each instrument with smooth punch, great separation and stage air at every volume, which we were all looking for back then. Somehow Wharfedale has figured out the perfect balance between analogue and digital reproduction, which is very rare these days. You can hear the strings on a bass guitar and be able to tell for sure whether they're using a pick or not; or when the B-3/Leslie combo kicks in and out of high or low rotation; or most importantly to me, whether the drummer is playing the ride bell, or medium vs large-sized cowbell, or congas rather than bongos: all things that usually get lost in CD playback. I remember having such high hopes for digital music reproduction and being sadly disappointed. But it's so much more convenient than vintage vinyl setups, so I only play vinyl when I really want to take the time to just listen. These speakers have brought back the vibe of vintage speaker systems as well as allowing me to hear fairly well things in digital platforms. Be sure to break them in before blasting at high volumes ... show more

    • Unbelievable for the money- period
The speakers have the look of throwbacks to the 70's. May not be everyone's cup of tea. I personally love the look especially with matching stands but I'm old! However, they sound very modern. Finish looks very uniform and at a much higher level than you would expect for the price. The speakers have a sound that allows you to look into the performance without some of the crazy sound some consider high definition (eg; excessive brightness.) Very smooth and refined (balanced acoustic spectrum) So easy to sit and just listen without being or wanting to be analytical. I've been an audiophile for 55+ years and I've never been more satisfied with a purchase than these speakers and that's saying something.
