Three-Way Vintage Style Speaker
The new Linton Heritage by Wharfedale, inspired by the original 1965 model, is also a three-way stand-mounted model – a rarity in the modern era – that maintains proportions similar to the classic Linton models. Its wood-veneered cabinet has a vintage appearance, but the quality of the finish is distinctly contemporary.
Retro style, timeless musicality, Linton makes use of its large surface by incorporating a large (by modern standards) bass driver with a 200 mm Kevlar cone, mounted on a rigid die-cast frame. Above this sits a 135 mm midrange driver, also with a woven Kevlar cone and housed within its own internal enclosure. Finally, a 25 mm fabric dome tweeter with high-flux ferrite magnet handles the high frequencies.
The original Linton speakers from the '60s and '70s were renowned for their rich and natural sound quality; the new model retains these characteristics but improves performance in every department. Bass is deep and well-defined, the midrange is clear and open, with free dynamics and an expansive scale that brings music back to life. It's a sound you can immerse yourself in and lose yourself to, listening to album after album; a nostalgic tribute to the past elevated to a level suited for the future.
Linton Heritage speakers are now available in 3 different finishes: walnut, mahogany, and black.
In line with a design meant to be carefully cherished, the new Linton features hand-matched wood veneers and optional stands that echo its classic style.
Custom-crafted to ensure that each speaker is positioned at the perfect height for a seated listener, the stand's rigid metal frame ensures critical damping of unwanted vibrations, enhanced by wood-veneered panels on the top and bottom to complete the ensemble. The design even includes space to store vinyl records within the stand structure.
Designed to captivate, this is a speaker that exudes authenticity and satisfies most audiophile enthusiasts.
