To celebrate its history, Wharfedale has established the Heritage Series recreations of famous models from its past, entirely re-engineered using contemporary techniques and materials. The latest loudspeaker to join this collection is the Linton.
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-fi speaker but also relatively affordable. 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 has a clear family resemblance. It, too, is a three-way standmount model – a rarity in the modern era – retaining similar proportions to the classic Linton models. Its wood-veneered cabinet has a vintage look, yet the standard of finish is distinctly contemporary.

Product Description
Retro style, timeless musicality
The Linton makes use of its wide baffle 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-flux 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 model retains these attributes but upgrades the performance in every department. Its bass is deep and well-defined, 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; a nostalgic nod to the past elevated to a level fit 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. Custom-made to ensure each speaker is sited at the perfect height for a seated listener, the stand’s rigid metal frame ensures critical damping of unwanted vibrations, embellished with wood-veneered panels at the top and bottom to complement the speakers. The design even provides space to store vinyl records within the stand’s structure.

When running on the treadmill, the connection stutters and interrupts music play.
Also, the biggest ear tips are too small for my ears. Had to use my old skull candy ear tips
The subwoofer certainly works well, but whether what it contributes to the overall listening experience with films and television programmes is worth the price is an open question
An awesome easy listen, very warm non-fatiguing sound, perfect for my desktop setup.
Playing Tidal on a MacBook Air into an IFI Zen Dac V2 and Vienna Acoustics Hayden Jubilee speakers, built like a tank with plenty on tap for near field listening or a small to medium size room.
Highly recommended.
This is a 5 star reviewed floorstanding speaker replacing my old 2005 speakers. The Dali Oberon 5 is excellent value and sound is pure and clean from a relatively small tower. I am enjoying running the speakers in and listening to hi-res audio with absolute clarity. E-piphany service is as always tops.
After much research I decided to purchase the Sennheiser 4 Momentum headphones and it is the best sounding and most comfortable headphones I've ever owned. I would highly recommend this item to any audiophile who appreciates brilliant audio quality. Excellent service delivery by Andre in delivering within the promised timeframe. I will definitely buy again.
