BRITISH AUDIO ROYALTY

We combined Wharfedale’s 85th Anniversary LINTON loudspeakers with LEAK’s STEREO 130 integrated amplifier to create a contemporary HiFi system with traditional design features. And the result is a modern classic music system for the audio connoisseur.

STEREO MADE SIMPLE

With inbuilt Bluetooth, complimentary speaker cable, and an easy-to-follow setup instruction video, the last music system that you’ll ever purchase includes everything you need to play straight from the box.

QUALITY COMES IN THREES

This traditional 3-way standmount design features a 200mm bass driver, 135mm midrange driver, and a 25mm soft dome tweeter. With room-filling power and exquisite detail, LINTON’s holy trinity promises to resurrect your passion for music.

YOUR FINEST VINTAGE ON DISPLAY

LINTON stands not only position each speaker at the perfect listening height, they’re also uniquely designed to store your 12” vinyl records, making Single Malt the best way to display your favourite vintage.

MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

Matching walnut veneers make Single Malt a breathtaking furniture piece for your home. In addition, LEAK’s attack is the ideal complement to LINTON’s more refined audio signature. So, you get a detailed yet fatigue-free system you can sit with for hours.

FEELS LIKE MUSIC.

With the texture of real timber and the sensory touch of classic jog dials, Single Malt is a traditional and therefore tactile music experience. It feels like HiFi. Because music should physically move you.
