  Got these delivered today. &nbsp;And for all the married men out there. &nbsp;I have now joined the &quot;how many speakers do you need&quot; club today.

  Having had these speakers for a few months now, I can add to what I wrote earlier:- &nbsp;unlike any other speaker I have ever had, there is ZERO listening fatigue with these speakers. I can be listening to these all day. They continue to be the best speakers I have ever had.

  Wharfedale and a company I used to work for: R M Williams, were both founded in 1932 and both are still going strong with reputations for high quality. It’s great to see companies like these still around and doing well.

  I was very pleased - ok - so overwhelmed with the sound of my Linton&apos;s - I had afew tears roll as I placed different albums on the turntable.<br>The sounds of my childhood - that wonderful 70&apos;s feeling !!!!<br>I&apos;m a big Pink Floyd fan - which is what I usually use for test music. Mostly because I know what sound should be where. Then I placed a bluegrass album on. WOW !!!! I heard details on various tracks I had not heard B4.<br>I must add - these are my 1st &amp; only High End home speakers I&apos;ve ever had.<br>I love the sound !!!!<br>The album was - May the circle be unbroken - has several people just jamming.

  I beleive these were designed as a &quot;Grill On&quot; speaker, like the traditional &nbsp;speakers they were based on. &nbsp; &nbsp;The grill actually forms part of the audio design of the speaker and they suffer a little when the grills are off, due to the recessed front panel.<br>Designed to be like the bigger speakers from the 60&apos;s and 70&apos;s where they were a piece of furniture as much as a speaker.

  Thanks for mentioning how it sounds at low listening volumes. This is very important for people who live in apartments. The only other reviewer that consistently mentions this aspect of a speaker&apos;s performance is The Audiophiliac.

  Yup, these are my personal end-game speakers. I love the Wharfedale house sound and after owning and loving the Denton series and others, I was delighted when the Linton Heritage speakers were released. I purchased them in the Rosewood finish with matching stands. I turn out the lights and the Lintons put the artists right in my living room. I absolutely LOVE them!

  I&apos;d love it if you could review the KLH Model 5&apos;s as well. Mostly for my own selfish desire to reinforce that I bought the better speaker of the two, I hadn&apos;t heard of the Lintons before I bought. That being said I do absolutely love my Model 5&apos;s and how they sound so regardless I&apos;m happy with what I bought :)

  Good review. I owned these and loved their tonality and great bass resolution. Your comment on the toms - upper bass- these are stellar. Ultimately I could not get the width of soundstage in my room, and have been using a narrower baffle (and much more expensive) speaker. Your comment on appearance and quality of the speakers and stands is also spot on too. I thought that these would be a budget Harbeth, but their presentation is very different and warmer - not as much resolution of detail and “realness”. But Harbeth SLH5 + are what, 3x the price! Congrats on having a real sponsor, but I do miss Sith’s “high value” products.

  My awesome wife surprised me with a set of these for my 50th over the weekend. &nbsp;With the stands. As a child of the 70s, I vibe with the vintage styling. They sound incredible and yes, very smooth. I&apos;ve played everything from ECM jazz stuff, Opeth, The Residents and the new reissue of Rush&apos;s Moving Pictures through them and it sounded great to me. VERY happy over here.

  Randy, this &amp; other reviews went a long way into helping me make the decision to go with these fantastic speakers! I matched with them with the NAD C 3050 with Bluesound OS Card &amp; they sound incredible. Honestly it sounds like the singer is in the room, when the Blues singer taps his foot, you can hear what the sole of his shoe is made of! Warm, velvety, bass, an absolute pleasure to listen to! I&apos;ve never spent this much on HIFI before, but it feels like I&apos;ve made a life long investment, thanks for your insight &nbsp;&amp; guidance!
