Hi-fi lovers, assemble! Wharfedale’s most popular loudspeaker pair, the Linton (but see also the Denton 85 we saw at the 2024 Bristol Hi-Fi Show, to mark Wharfedale's 85th year in the business), has just been elevated to ‘Super’ status. Linton Super, you say? Yes, featuring upgrades to the drive units, crossover and cabinet – but maintaining the glorious wooden cabinet and the offset positioning of the tweeter.
Quick history lesson: the original Linton was one of the UK's heavy-hitters between 1965 and the late 1970s (when I was born. And I remember these speakers the first time around). Wharfedale brought the Linton back in 2019 as part of its Heritage line, lovingly re-engineered. Cut to five years later and Wharfedale’s engineers – buoyed up by their success and led by Director of Acoustic Design, Peter Comeau – decided the design could be pushed even further.
