The wife got me a set of these for my 50th birthday in April. I've thrown everything from avant jazz, prog rock, electronic, hardcore punk, country to classical at them and they handled it all with ease. They don't hype any part of the frequency spectrum and they are very honest. I've had many loud, all day listening sessions on them and they don't kill your ears. Like mentioned, placement is key and they really did need a bit of break in before the sound really started to bloom. Two thumbs up!

Nice review. These speakers are rated favorably throughout the audio world and many prefer them over higher end speakers costing much more because their sound is non-fatiguing, warm, balanced and doesn't over emphasize the mid range and highs with weaker bass, like many high end speakers offer these days, to gain a better image and Soundstage. These will be my next speakers.

You are right about the non-fatiguing sound. I replaced my EVO 4.2 pair (which is by the way a fantastic set) with the Linton's as I noticed EVOs sounded a lot more forward and fatiguing would have started kicking in after less than an hour of listening. With Linton's even at a lot lower volume I can get "where I want to be" and they can play all they long without me getting fatigued. I owned 6 sets of speakers in my lifetime and these are by far the best, they sound extraordinary, they look expensive, design is second to none, with the price to boot.

This review is spot on. The Lintons indeed need careful placement. In my room 50 cm or 1.6 feet from the wall behind them works best. No need for a subwoofer. The Lintons match well with vintage amplifiers like the Denon PMA-1060 or the Pioneer A-757. Mine are paired with a refurbished Denon PMA-1060. A humble-looking but reliable workhorse with the right amount of power to let the Lintons shine. Speakers + stands + amplifier + a Cambridge Audio DACMagic 100 cost me 1600 euros total two years ago. After using it for two years I still find it to be a system hard to beat at that price point. Another thing I found (but might be room-dependent): the image of sound really opens up when standing up in the listening position. Tilting the speakers slightly forward on their stands by adding small extra pieces of rubber under the backside of the speakers does the trick to correct this. Then comfortably take a seat and have a listen for hours on end 😊
@tbonet859 Жыл бұрын
Interesting. I found that elevating just the front of the speakers by 1/4" or 1/2" ( with 4" x 4" neoprene pads or footers): opens up the soundstage wider and taller. When in the sitting listening position and when upright doing things around the room. Having a living room that immediately transitions into the kitchen area: the music is much more balanced and room filling; as I cook, wash dishes or do other stuff. I know longer feel like the music is underneath me, when I'm in the kitchen.

They took a long time to burn in and require careful toe in. I have firing them the short wall 8 foot apart., a foot away from back wall and 2 feet away from side walls . My room has no carpet but well furnished, thick curtains. Compared to virtually all the other speakers they are not as bright . However they are RICH and suits all music & all types of sound quality.

Stands also put them at the right listening height, with tweeter at ear level when sitting down (on mist standard sofas, couches and armchairs anyway). I saw Peter Comeau on one of the hi-fi shows few years ago when Lintons got announces just few months after the Dentons, asked him about the stand and he said they employed first time an external industrial designer to come up with the best looking speaker stand they ever made, and boy did he do the great job. I also asked Peter why such a thick wooden plynths/bases at bottom of stands and he said they tried to create an optimum height between the top and bottom so that people could keep records in them. BTW, those wooden boards inside the stands are not solid wood, they are two sheets of 18mm MDF glued together, then veneered in the same veneer they use for the speakers.

Stupid question: I like the look of the Wharfedale speakers and wondered how they will be for near field listening? For example as using them for PC speakers - I know don't laugh XD. I have currently Infinity Beta 20 hooked up to Rotel RB1582 with Pioneer VSX 924. Odd setup but it works as I need surround sound for gaming and when listening music I don't have any issues as I just want to fill the space with sound and not always necessary for critical listening. The Infinity's does near field sound stage very good but I just feel it lacks a bit in oomf and general volume filing the room. I grew up with these large box speakers (that's what I like to call them) and they just have a different sound signature. For fun I hooked up my old Sansui 3 way 12'' box speakers and I just love the direct sound and you pretty much feel the music. They however lack in finesse and imaging otherwise great. Lastly my music I listen to is not classical at all, in fact I listen to majority of music that has lots of bass but I always enjoy quality recordings. Basically Drum and Bass, Electronic, Dubstep and sometimes Cinematic music (the more aggressive type). I am using a Rel T2 or Rel Q200 subwoofer that blends in well with any speakers I used before. My preference in speakers are as follow: -Sweet soothing rounded detailed treble -Clear and concise mid -Low and impactful bass response more on the tight side.

I had an KLH Model 35 system back in the day that “only” had 20w RMS per channel and had to drive the KLH 6 speakers that came with it. It was more than enough and those loudspeakers were acoustic suspension - pretty insensitive. People go nutso about power, but keep in mind that doubling the power only gets you 3 more decibels. So, the difference between 25w and 100 is only 6dB. It takes 10dB to get what seems to be a doubling of volume. So, always remember that doubling your clean power gets you what might seem louder, or not. It won’t be much, at any rate. 3dB isn’t a lot.

At the end of the review, they had sound clips that I listened to through my Fostex T20 headphones. To my ears, the KLH Model 5's were clearly the best. Many picked the 770's. Unfortunately, the Linton's (and the Heresy's) were at the bottom of the list for me, and most of the commenters. I'm guessing they must sound, much better, in person, because they were clearly the lesser sounding speakers in that comparison.

i say that sub-woofers are for bad speakers that don´t have bass or the amplifier doesn´t deliver that much bass because they are not the type of speakers for the amplifier one has ,but this one having 90dbs and 6 ohms they should sound good with a regular integrated amplifier not a AV receiver, it´s only my opinion and they do deliver great sound ,just an advice don´t be like a friend of mine that maybe 5 years ago he bought some klipsch (because it was fashion, the black with copper colour made a nice contrast) he tells me that they are great but he needed to buy a sub-woofer , i went to his house to listen to this speakers , when at his house he played a cd from the cult a 80´s album the Electric, when looking to his denon amplifier and he complaining about the bass, i notice he had the tone controls in flat and the loudness off ,i turn the treble and the bass a litle more than half and conected the loudness and the sound was really good and asked him ,why did he wanted more bass , when he looks to the amplifier ,he tells me "what have you done this is not how sound should be listened to " i told him, you wanted a subwoofer i tried increasing a litle bass and treble and because it´s not loud i put the loudness on ,he replyed but no that´s not how we should hear music this is all messed up ,again i told him so you don´t want more bass just a sub-woofer for what?well after i only can say that this guy is getting retarted with the age ,i remenber him being a litle strange in highschool, so he wants more bass but not touch the tone control or loudness to hear better in low volume both ends of the sound spectrum, this is a strange thing that i had noticed in younger persons but this guy is the same age has me, i remenber when we were 16 i put my 76 system all from pioneer given to me by my father when he bought a very expensive system by revox/studer, he was listening with me to the animals album "before we were so rudly interrupted" more or less not sure if this is the correct name of the album but at the time he said ,this was the best sound he had ever heard and i had equalizer also tone controls and loudness i didn´t had or i would have conected it but the sound was good to me ,now he tells me that the sound should be direct or the speakers would have problems, well what can i say ,i told him buy a sub-woofer or maybe two it looks amazing and a good sound of bass you´ll have, i can´t understand why since the late 80´s young people would have bad amplifiers and speakers and never touch the tone controls because that´s how the bands wanted to be listened the sound was already produced so no need to touch the tone controls or we would hear not the sound has we were supposed to hear, i don´t reply to this type of coments, only used to say ,you think you have a system like the musicians that recorded this album or the equipment in the studio where they heard for the first time the album ready to be released, nothing more

Good Question, The Maggies take quite a bit of power to drive them, and will definitely require a sub. The Lintons depending on placement from the wall generally provide more than enough bass.

the stands ARE optional. Do not buy them if you don't need them. I plan to buy Lintons and place them on top of a pair of subwoofers, with some thick sorbothane pads to isolate any vibration. Much cheaper than paying for stands I don't need

1. Copyright strikes 2. The room makes a big difference to how a speaker’s sounds 3. KZbin compression can make a difference 4. You are listening through your headphones or speakers These are just a few reasons, most can be overcome somewhat, but honestly it’s not a big deal for most viewers as they understand why.

After a while spending time with these speakers and giving them a chance. I have to say they, well, they suck. I don't know where the hype is coming from these speakers distort, can't handle volume and aren't worth the money. I will say vocals sound damn good but turn them up a bit and if you hear the vocals through the crackling then good for you. Not for me. EDIT : I put mundorf M cap supreme in them and they are for sale sitting in the corner almost brand new.
