The latest loudspeaker to join this collection is the Linton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe original Linton debuted in 1965 and the line continued in various iterations until the end of the 1970s. It was a classic model of its time, viewed as a serious hi-fi speaker but also relatively affordable. Its cabinet was substantial, big enough to hold three drive units including a good-sized bass unit, yet not overly unwieldy by the standards of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe new Linton has a clear family resemblance. It, too, is a three-way standmount model – a rarity in the modern era – retaining similar proportions to the classic Linton models. Its wood-veneered cabinet has a vintage look, yet the standard of finish is distinctly contemporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetro style, timeless musicality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Linton makes use of its wide baffle by incorporating a large (by modern standards) bass driver with a 200mm Kevlar cone, mounted on a rigid, die-cast chassis. Above this sits a 135mm midrange driver, also sporting a woven Kevlar cone and housed within its own internal enclosure. Finally, a 25mm fabric-dome tweeter with a high-flux ferrite magnet handles high frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Linton incarnations of the 1960s and 1970s were well known for their rich and natural sound quality; the new model retains these attributes but upgrades the performance in every department. Its bass is deep and well-defined, its midrange clear and open, with free-breathing dynamics and an expansive scale that brings music to life. It is a sound you can dive into and lose yourself in, as you listen to album after album; a nostalgic nod to the past elevated to a level fit for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned to appeal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a speaker that exudes authenticity, designed to appeal to the dedicated music-lover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn keeping with a design intended to be treasured, the new Linton sports hand-matched wood veneers and optional matching stands with a similarly classic style. Custom-made to ensure each speaker is sited at the perfect height for a seated listener, the stand’s rigid metal frame ensures critical damping of unwanted vibrations, embellished with wood-veneered panels at the top and bottom to complement the speakers. The design even provides space to store vinyl records within the stand’s structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote - stands available as an optional extra. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-71\" id=\"tablepress-71\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-1 odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral Description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3-way vented-box\/standmount\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody class=\"row-hover\"\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-2 even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eEnclosure Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003eBass reflex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-3 odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eTransducer Complement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e3-way\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-4 even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eBass Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e8\"(200mm) black woven Kevlar® cone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-5 odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eMidrange Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e5\"(135mm) black woven Kevlar® cone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-6 even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eTreble Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e1\" (25mm) soft dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-7 odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eAV Shield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-8 even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eSensitivity (2.83v @1m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e90dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-9 odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e25-200W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-10 even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003ePeak SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e110dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-11 odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e6Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-12 even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eMinimum Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e3.5Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-13 odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eFrequency Response(+\/-3dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e40Hz ~ 20kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-14 even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eBass Extension(-6dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e35Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-15 odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eCrossover Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e630Hz \u0026amp; 2.4kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-16 even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eHeight (on plinth)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e565mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-17 odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e300mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-18 even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eDepth (with terminals)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e(330+30)mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"row-19 odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eNet Weight 18.4kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003e18.4kg\/pcs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wharfedale","offers":[{"title":"Mahogany \/ No","offer_id":56215774953858,"sku":null,"price":1099.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mahogany \/ Yes","offer_id":56215774986626,"sku":null,"price":1249.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut \/ No","offer_id":56215775019394,"sku":null,"price":1099.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut \/ Yes","offer_id":56215775052162,"sku":null,"price":1249.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/6652\/0962\/files\/linton-image-1_b79d1be1-83de-4b70-86b0-1386f66385d7.jpg?v=1768429024","url":"https:\/\/premiumhomeaudio.co.uk\/products\/wharfedale-linton-heritage-speakers","provider":"Premium Home Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
