Wharfedale Linton Speakers

These speakers offer a warm, rich, and natural sound profile. Because of their 3-way design, they provide a balanced, detailed performance that excels at bringing out the nuances in a wide variety of music genres.

Yes, these are large standmount speakers designed to be used with dedicated stands. Using the correct stands ensures the tweeters are at ear level and the bass reflex port functions as intended for optimal sound quality.

The woven Kevlar cones are used for both the bass and midrange drivers to provide excellent rigidity and control. This material helps minimize distortion, resulting in a cleaner and more accurate sound reproduction across the lower and middle frequencies.

With a sensitivity of 90dB and a nominal impedance of 6Ω, the Linton Heritage speakers are relatively efficient. They can be driven effectively by a wide range of integrated amplifiers, though a quality amp will help you get the most out of their performance.

A 3-way design uses separate drivers dedicated to bass, midrange, and treble frequencies. This allows each driver to operate within its ideal range, leading to better clarity in the vocals and a more expansive, detailed soundstage compared to most 2-way speakers.

Each speaker weighs 18.4kg and features an 8-inch bass driver, making them physically substantial. You should ensure you have enough room for them to breathe away from walls to prevent the bass from becoming boomy, as they are a bass-reflex design.
