Sounds better than the most monster systems for 1Trillion dollars. pretty sure, this speakers are cryptonite for the scene.

[@shuckylad]

I loved this room, great speakers for a grand, they produced a sound you could listen to all evening with a nice bottle of beer.

[@TheHxpro]

I still have and use my Lintons from about 1968. In as new condition still. Not as good as the new Heritage I expect. The new Lintons are the best looking speakers I have seen. Classic look.

[@violin-schwerin]

I have found bliss with the Linton heritages and Croft separates

[@jianboo]

Best Linton setup I heard in youtube. I am getting a new pair of linton speakers and use this setup as a guide.

[@Xantylon74]

They sound like really good, like a 3 Channel Aktiv Speaker, but they are passiv, this is amazing to me. You can hear every music, from Classic, Rock or Pop they can do it.

[@mrpositronia]

Yes. My favourite room at the show. Great VFM. And lovely sound too. :)

[@rockroll4553]

Wharfedale Heritage Linton BEAUTIFUL SPEAKERS!

[@BJyelhsA]

Can't wait to find our more about those upcoming Elysians too. They look like beasts

[@BJyelhsA]

My favourite room of the show too. I thought the stereo imaging was fantastic. I also loved the spendors classics which got me considering if I need to go to a large box speaker rather than a conventional tall floorstander.

[@adrianpalmer777]

did you make a decision? I'm thinking of swapping out a pair of leema xones to the lintons

[@soabundantly739]

Yes these speakers £999 pair and the sound with Audiolab goes to show what can be achieved for very reasonable price.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

in a very big room as well

[@soabundantly739]

Yes I enjoyed this room and respect both Audiolab and Wharfdale for build quality and sound. Great to see these traditional manufactures making such a positive statement .

[@mrpositronia]

The Audiolab 6000a was also in the Dali room, which also had a clear and spacious sound, I don't think it's a coincidence. I really want to get one now. But I already have a Cambridge CXA60, so they'd be competing for the spot in the living room!

[@peeperization]

@@mrpositronia I auditioned the Cambridge CXA60 and Audiolab 6000a at home with Monitor Audio rx6's. They're very, very close in sound. I kept the 6000a, but would have been happy with both. :) What happened with your system, if anything?

[@mrpositronia]

@@peeperization I didn't get the Audiolab in the end. I've actually decided to upgrade the Cambridge to a Hegel H90, possibly this year. I may trade the Cambridge in, but don't expect more than £250 for it now. I had an Audio quest Cobalt for a month, before the headphone socket stopped working. And it was better than the built in DAC in the CXA60, so I got the bug for better, unfortunately. 😅

[@CoryBellDushoneBell]

Where in the Linton have I been?!! If they sound like this through my computer, they must sound even better in person. I need these speakers in my life!

[@SebTheFrenchGuy]

I have been quite disappointed when I went to the hifi shop for a proper listening. We have paired the Lintons with the Leak130 amplifier and the Leak CD transport. The sound of the speakers was messy with undefined basses , too straight forward hight frequencies . Very good mediums . I did have very high expectations and really wanted to buy the Linton's . Unfortunately, the sound didn't match my final taste. I hope it helps ?!

[@CoryBellDushoneBell]

@@SebTheFrenchGuy welp, we may have similar earholes. LOL I got them into my home and tested them for about two weeks and they fell short for me. I had an especially high expectancy for the midrange but they seemed a little thin. The bass was just ok for me but I needed the bottom to be a little thicker. Don't get me wrong, they look beautiful and classic but my ears are my truth. So I have to stick with my own ears in my own setting.

[@SebTheFrenchGuy]

@@CoryBellDushoneBell I finally had the opportunity to listen to the Sonus Faber Lumina III floorstanding speakers . Almost the exact opposite of the lintons in term of design and identity. But the sound is awesome ! Cristal clear hight frequency ( maybe too directional), beautiful mediums ( very natural sounding female voices) and very good basses ( not very deep and punchy) but good. You should give them a try .

[@Z4d0k]

@@SebTheFrenchGuyunfortunately the Leak 130 doesn't have enough power to make the Linton's sing. The Leak 230 seems to be much better.

[@sidvicious3129]

I really appreciate everything that you do to bring this stuff to us. You made me re think power cables after dismissing them. I have tried Thunder cables, Nrg 10 and Nrg 100s and a Niagara 100. After this experience I fell in loved them and they have taken my system up a level or two, why because of the elimination of noise that the cables and conditioner did. And I tried the cables independently of the conditioner in a Furhman conditioner before getting the Niagara. This stuff works and it is never covered from the perspective of noise reduction. Example take a good photo with good composition, but it was taken in low light, which created noise. Find a way to eliminate the noise and you now have a great picture, which is the same for Audio. Audio and Photography both use the term dynamic range and they mean almost the same thing in both, covering lowest to highest. My dealer just got those Kefs in or a form of them that you prominently display and use for your sound demos. I can’t wait to hear them, too bad for me because I bought a pair of Vandersteen Quatros, which I love, so no worries there.

[@MrCatalysis101]

This system sounded lovely on the Moroder vocal intro, but soon became disjointed when it got busy. At this level you generally find that a system will slant towards certain genres and, clearly, electronica isn’t the forte here. I bet it does a stand up job on acoustic, jazz and classical etc.

[@fuckinellitsraymo]

Oh were you actually there or more than likely listening on your phone.

[@deonellis8577]

I want to drop a bombshell here... Anyone some experience connecting the Lintons to Advance Paris A10 Classic? Sure that combo will ROCK!!

[@solarsailer4278]

Big like for Daft Punk

[@gocc01]

Beutiful setup. I have ordered an Audiolab 6000A Play and Lintons. I have one concern; Does the Audiolab have enough power to push the Lintons to full potential?

[@allenwilliams8962]

@gocc01 I have the same question

[@Z4d0k]

Short answer is no, at least according to other comparisons here on KZbin.The 7000a and especially 9000a sound noticeably better.

[@AdiMaco]

This is a good sound!

[@giangvu7902]

Great sound!

[@pchlars5666]

Txh for a video. As many others I'm wondering about differences between Evos 4.4(or 4.3) and Lintons. Anyone any thoughts? FOr what type of music which are better than the other?

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

I am hoping to get both in soon to review so maybe give me a few weeks and I can tell you more and demo them both to you

[@pchlars5666]

​@@PursuitPerfectSystem That would be brilliant. :)

[@sebanambrus9265]

i am consider to buy it but i cant decide between kef ls50 or Linton heritage. Can you compare them side by side ?

[@maxrider2887]

Is better then the Marantz pm6006 uk edition?

[@Andrealberelli_83]

What do you think about the 9000A series instead 6000, in combination with wharfedale linton 85th, obviously? Perfect combination of balanced tones, tails and overall focus or simply too large spend of money to the speakers value? Thanks.

[@Z4d0k]

Probably a bit late, but based on the comparisons I've heard here on KZbin the Leak Stereo 230 is a great partner for the Lintons. This is in contrast to the Leak 130, which sounds thin and forward by comparison (doesn't seem to have enough power to drive the Lintons fully).

[@Andrealberelli_83]

@@Z4d0k so..better leak or audiolab, in specific combination with lintons?

[@Z4d0k]

@@Andrealberelli_83 both have enough power to drive the Lintons well, so it'll likely be down to price, features and personal sound preferences. The 9000A is a class above the Leak 230 in price and performance from what I've seen and read, though I bought the Leak 230 myself and am very happy with its performance with my Lintons.

[@william4691]

I have these speakers but can't get away with them my Concertos are much better in clarity, bass and musicality

[@ricstars95]

would audiolab 7000a or elex-r improve SQ for Linton? any experience/feeback is very much appreciated. TY

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

If you can stretch the 9000a it would be a good choice for the Linton I think but demo first of course

[@Z4d0k]

Make sure you try the Leak Stereo 230 too, it sounds good in the KZbin comparison videos at least :)

[@babydove]

Purest perfect system: I have question for you, what is your personal advise about new heritage line of speakers, it seems that company made some serious steps.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

Hi I only heard them at the show and they was sounding very good, very clean. I don't have much experience past that as it stands - hopefully I can get my hands on some in the near future and can make some videos about them

[@babydove]

@@PursuitPerfectSystem thx bro for your kind reply.

sorry but any info on that audiolab wood rack??

there might be one coming soon ;)

2000 complet ? speakers +amp+cdplazer+streamer +cable ?

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

not quite for it all - but could be amp and streamer or cd player and streamer with the speakers for £2k. Not sure the price of the rack and cables.

[@peterpiper5064]

The prices are at 0:42 - £2426 without cables

[@Mrbluesplayer43]

Fantastic looking speakers. But crikey, what an awful choice of music.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

its Giorgio mordor from daft punks most successful album random access memories

[@Mrbluesplayer43]

@@PursuitPerfectSystem Bad choice for a demo, though. It may demonstrate all the dynamics but it's horrible. Annoying in fact. I'd never stay in a room playing that. Rule No. 1 for demo'ing speakers: Always play something people will know, be totally familiar with and will be able to make some sort of logical comparison with.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

@@Mrbluesplayer43 about 99% of the world bought that daft punk album, maybe that is an exaggeration but it's a hugely popular mass selling album and that track can sound amazing on the right system.

John Birch so what do you suggest they should have played?

[@polkiju7]

Small speakers.....small sound. There, I’ve said it. Sorry

[@nasdkhan254]

Not in my room. What speakers do you own?

[@polkiju7]

@@nasdkhan254 I use a 4 way open baffle system (Check them out below before you roll your eyes in disdain) They are diy. The best bookshelf speakers that I owned were Rogers LS3/5A’s. They were amazing for vocals and small ensemble acoustic. I missed the scale and presence in Jazz, rock and orchestral pieces. That inspired me to experiment with larger drivers and ultimately Open baffles. If you’re interested, here is a sample:kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3OTkJ6hl5KliNU Sorry if I came off like a jerk.

[@nasdkhan254]

@@polkiju7 Hi . I looked at your system. Very interesting Yes , open baffle diy , I'm sure sounds very good indeed and virtually any conventional speaker on the market is going to sound small by comparison. I'm sure you know for most people your solution wouldn't be practical as it lacks the WAF factor and looks a bit like the sort of thing Doc would build in Back to the Future 🤣🤣. Joking aside I salute you for bothering and being an individual. I live in the UK and by American standards, have a small room. Many years ago I owned Spendor LS3/5A which sounded amazing but lacks balls and didn't work out on tough Rock music . I have tried since then , Monitor Audio Silver 6, B&W 703, Tangent Rs4 , Quad ESL 63 ( unfortunately were faulty ) IMF TSL50 ( now in my bedroom system) For fun and in this game little financial outlay Tannoy DC200 , Mordant Short Pageants. Anyway the Wharfedale will underwhelm a lot of audiophiles on first listen , however they are a subtle seducer and dare I say it almost hit the dream portals of your brain. After half & hour you are engrossed in the music . Thats why you'll find that people in the far East have gone nuts about these speakers and trust me a very decent affordable alternative to Harbeth SL5 & LS3/5A. All the best .

[@polkiju7]

@@nasdkhan254 Well thank you for what is likely, the most thoughtful and reasoned reply I’ve ever received to what was admittedly, a pretty cheeky comment. My wife only tolerates those monstrosities because she’s seen me tear up listening to them. All my drivers are Wharfedales and the company has always been a bit of an underdog. G.A.Briggs never succumbed to flashy audio gimmicks or anything that sounded unnatural. I am impressed by horn systems for example (JBL Klipsche) but could never live with them long term. The plan was to make my open baffles “presentable” once I got the sound right, but I ran out of money! I will give the speakers you mentioned a listen should the opportunity, beyond KZbin, present itself. Thanks for taking the time to respond. J
