BLACK FRIDAY SALE 2024

Wharfedale is the British heavyweight champion of value-for-money loudspeakers. Every single component, from woofer cone to cabinet, is both designed and built in-house. This creates unparalleled quality control while maintaining the lowest possible price. And with a range that extends from entry-level to extreme luxury, Wharfedale has a specific loudspeaker to suit you – anywhere along your audio journey.

LINTON is a modern reimagining of the classic Wharfedale model dating back to 1965. It is a traditional 3-way standmount loudspeaker. This means that it has separate speaker drivers to individually deliver bass, mid, and high frequencies. LINTON also comes with complimentary stands included in the final price. 

‘Full bodied, powerful and eager to go loud. They are also revealing and accurate.’ – Hi-Fi World

 

‘It delivers so much of what was great about wide-baffle loudspeakers and yet consigns the problems of vagueness, dynamic compression and poor transient response to the dustbin of history.’ – Hi-Fi Choice

 

‘With retro good looks and a natural, relaxed sound to match, these Wharfedales are different, but undeniably superb.’ – What Hi-Fi? 

THE POWER OF AN ICON

Heritage owners know it’s not about being retro but capturing the true essence of an era – the excellence of its music, its art, its design. That’s why Wharfedale machines its rich history into the fabric of each Heritage piece, making every play iconic.

LOOK CLASSIC. FEEL CLASSIC.

Tired of your speakers looking like scent diffusers? LINTON represents one of the most iconic models in Wharfedale’s long history. By taping into a rich bloodline dating back to 1965, today’s LINTON continues to reflect your classic tastes.

QUALITY COMES IN THREES

LINTON marks the return of affordable 3-way standmount speaker design. And with a 200mm bass driver, 135mm midrange driver, and a 25mm soft dome tweeter, LINTONs holy trinity promises to resurrect your listening habits without breaking the bank.

STORE & DISPLAY YOUR FAVS

Want quick access to your favourite LPs? LINTON’s matching stands not only position your speakers at the perfect listening height – further fine-tuning each album experience, they’re uniquely designed to store and display your 12” vinyl records too.

A TASTE FOR THE TRUTH

Heritage is a quest for truth. So by using a sandwich construction method to scatter panel resonances causing audio colouration, LINTON helps you find the truth in your favourite recordings, not the signature of your speakers.

THEY’LL NEVER BELIEVE YOU

LINTON is available in two breathtaking true-timber veneers, walnut & mahogany, including their matching stands. Superbly crafted and hand finished, there’s no doubt your friends will marvel, but they’ll never believe what you paid.

SIZE MATTERS

Modern slim speakers suffer from an audible thinning known as baffle step. Not big box speakers. So Wharfedale further increased LINTONs baffle width and included a 200mm bass woofer to give your music the impact it’s missing.

A CLASSIC REIMAGINING

Woven Kevlar replaces paper & polymer cones, crossover design is computer aided & optimised, and bass units are reflex loaded by two rear ports. So new LINTON looks classic, but it meets all your contemporary music demands.

AUDIO COOKUP – GRILLE ON!

Asymmetrical cutouts in LINTONs speaker grilles mitigate interference caused by cabinet edge reflections found in traditional big-box speakers. So not only do LINTONs speaker grilles help maintain a low visual profile, they further improve your sound quality too.

AMP MATCHING MAGIC

Specific design elements, like woven Kevlar drivers and high-flux magnets, were chosen to ensure LINTON sings with amplifiers as small as 25W per channel. Put plainly, LINTON will run off the sniff of an oily rag.
