Description

The Wharfedale Linton Heritage Speakers (Pair) are the latest loudspeaker to join the Wharfedale Heritage series. This series features recreations of famous models from its past, entirely re-engineered using contemporary techniques and materials.

The original Linton debuted in 1965 and the line continued in various iterations until the end of the 1970s. It was a classic model of its time, viewed as a serious hi-๏ฌ speaker but also relatively a๏ฌ€ordable.

Its cabinet was substantial, big enough to hold three drive units including a good-sized bass unit, yet not overly unwieldy by the standards of the day.

The new Linton Heritage Speakers have a clear family resemblance. It, too, is a three-way standmount model โ€“ rare in the modern era โ€“ retaining similar proportions to the classic Linton models. Its wood-veneered cabinet has a vintage look, yet the standard of ๏ฌnish is distinctly contemporary.

The Linton Heritage speakers are now available in 3 different finishes of Walnut, Mahogany, and Black.

Retro style, timeless musicality

The Linton makes use of its wide ba๏ฌ„e by incorporating a large (by modern standards) bass driver with a 200mm Kevlar cone, mounted on a rigid, die-cast chassis. Above this sits a 135mm midrange driver, also sporting a woven Kevlar cone and housed within its own internal enclosure. Finally, a 25mm fabric-dome tweeter with a high-๏ฌ‚ux ferrite magnet handles high frequencies.

The original Linton incarnations of the 1960s and 1970s were well known for their rich and natural sound quality. The new Linton Heritage model retains these attributes but upgrades the performance in every department. Its bass is deep and well-de๏ฌned, its midrange clear and open, with free-breathing dynamics and an expansive scale that brings music to life.

It is a sound you can dive into and lose yourself in, as you listen to album after album. The Linton speakers are a nostalgic nod to the past elevated to a level ๏ฌt for the future.

Designed to appeal

This is a speaker that exudes authenticity, designed to appeal to the dedicated music-lover. In keeping with a design intended to be treasured, the new Linton sports hand-matched wood veneers and optional matching stands with a similarly classic style.

Back in Black

The Linton Heritage is available in a Black Oak finish, representing one of the most iconic models in Wharfedaleโ€™s history. The Linton is a model that embodied the Wharfedale pioneering research through the 60s, 70s and 80s.

The LINTON has always been manufactured according to the Wharfedale principles of quality and value for money.
