Wharfedale Linton Heritage Speakers (Pair) Walnut

Product Information

Their sound is on point, and it would be hard to find a living space that they wouldn't fit into or elevate. I'd be more than happy to have these front and center in my living room." The Linton Heritage of course benefits from a profound improvement with accomplished power amplifier, which is not due to the 6000A shortcomings, but to the excellent performance of the speakers. For me personally, however, the 6000A was the biggest surprise in its versatility. Of course, it performs in the boundaries that the product family assigns to it, but it does convince in every detail and in every technical function.

Dave: The PS Audio S300 was bought because I could tell the bass was tubby and the amps I was using couldn't drive the Linton's sufficiently. This is also a weakness of the speakers to me, also . Jan Ertner: In terms of the actual CD drive and its ability to read discs, the signal integrity and the low jitter performance of the SPDIF output, the 6000CDT can very much be thought of as a 8300CD without the DAC. Measurements are provided in a format in accordance with the Standard Method of Measurement for In-Home Loudspeakers (ANSI/CTA-2034-A R-2020). For more information, please see this link. The room response must be averaged to recognize trends in the summation of direct and reflected signals at the microphone. The resulting curves must not be taken as a 1:1 representation of what is heard as loudness at different frequencies. The room response gives a picture of the steady state SPL, where sound generation and sound dissipation in the room have reached their equilibrium." -Linkwitz

Unusually, they are designed specifically for use with the grilles on. Not only does doing so help to maintain that low visual profile, the grilles actually improve the sound thanks to their shape ameliorating interference from reflections from the edges of the cabinet.

There's No Expiration Date on Vintage Style and Sound: Three-Way Wharfedale Linton Loudspeakers Feature Eight-Inch Woofer and Play with Elevated Openness and Taut Bass The following tests are conducted at (4) approximate equivalent output volumes: 70/79/87/96dB @ 1 meter. The (4) voltages listed in the legend result in these SPL values. Go large! The Linton in its full 1970s glory on Wharfedale’s dedicated stand, also strong and functional. Below there is space for LPs. Single gold plated terminals don’t accommodate modern fangled ideas like bi-wiring. With retro good looks and a natural, relaxed sound to match, these Wharfedales are different, but undeniably superb.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.I like to express my gratitude to the Chateaux owners and acting persons, who made this happen. THANK YOU !!! n my view it is preferable to have a Pre/DAC//Streamer combo where it's easy to still use the first two technologies, if the streaming side needs a re-vamp and may be circumvented. Amplification and DAC are somehow matured tech and features are the drivers for new models, technolgy not so much. Thus, streaming platforms may still have some room for improvement in signal reception, transport and storage technology, while there is quite a good competition on the softwarew side.

furniture appearance allied to the full-bodied sound of speakers designed from the fifties to eighties.” Distortion in room for the Linton only. Strangely the right is some what better. Both 92dBA at 1m equivalent. AS: What would you describe the greatest strength of the speaker, now that they are completely broken in. ( However, in stereo, it was very difficult to make out any big difference in them. This could be down to the time it took to switch between them while playing different songs.Id also medium term be looking at nicer amplifier too with having such a nice set of speakers. The marantz does have enough power for them and they do play nice with lower level gear. I need some new tubes so I’ve put my old Sony in while I wait for them to arrive from Britain and it’s sounding really surprisingly good. It’s hard to place it relative to the marantz because of its age, and it has a lot more power, but it’d be in and around its level. Equally, having used it with a better amp I know that there is more that the Lintons have to offer that is currently being left on the table.
