  Very nice realistic review. I like the same music as you. I worked for Wharfedale in the late 70’s early 80’s. Recently bought Super Lintons. Excellent speakers.

  The wife got me a set of these for my 50th birthday in April. I've thrown everything from avant jazz, prog rock, electronic, hardcore punk, country to classical at them and they handled it all with ease. They don't hype any part of the frequency spectrum and they are very honest. I've had many loud, all day listening sessions on them and they don't kill your ears. Like mentioned, placement is key and they really did need a bit of break in before the sound really started to bloom. Two thumbs up!

  Love mine, my best speakers in my 30+ years listening to hi-fi. These are staying, had them for 2 years now and will for many more :) Just about everything on them is done 'just right'. An the design is timeless and they feel like pieces of furniture, not just speakers. I have done away with tall, designer-modern looking, slim monolith towers, not my thing anymore.

  Ive been using these about a year and I agree with this video review. I'm really glad I got the stands they just look so right with them.

  Thanks for your most welcome Wharfedale Linton Heritage expose, as I am looking at these as a possible newer speaker for my music enjoyment.   🎶     Thanks, again!   👍🍺🍺

  I appreciate your opinion. I love vintage speaker sound. I also love classic rock like Yes, Rush, Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin. I would buy these if something happened to my Marantz 3-way big box speakers (15" woofers). Rock on brother.

  Greetings from Ireland - I invested in a set of Lintons last year driven by a Leak Stereo 130 Amp - and I am more then happy with the combination - highly recommended, super build quality and yes dam heavy  and yes stands are critical -- great review and 100% on point ,,

  Thanks for an honest review. I just picked up a pair of these, and you are absolutely correct about the weight. I live on my own and unboxing the speakers and the stands was a bit of a challenge. 😅 I am really impressed, from the design, build quality, sound quality, even the paperwork supplied with them is first class. I don't have a lot of money, so I thought long and hard before I purchased these, and I know I made the right decision.

  I want the Lintons, but don’t feel I have the proper space. Just moved to a much smaller place. Now I’m looking at the Super Dentons. I love Wharfedale speakers. I’m currently using the Diamond 225s in main music right now. 🎶👍🏼

  The custom crossovers form The Crossover-Chef would make a Harbeth blush.
