The latest loudspeaker to join this collection is the Linton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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\u003cp\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetro style, timeless musicality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\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\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned to appeal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a speaker that exudes authenticity, designed to appeal to the dedicated music-lover.\u003c\/p\u003e\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack in Black\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available in a new contemporary Black Oak finish; the Wharfedale LINTON represents one of the most iconic models in the long history of Wharfedale loudspeakers. A model that embodied the Wharfedale pioneering research through the 60s, 70s and 80s, with a bloodline dating back to 1965, LINTON has always been manufactured according to the Wharfedale principles of quality and value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Description: 3-way vented-box\/standmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosure Type: Bass reflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransducer Complement: 3-way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass Driver: 8\"(200mm) black woven Kevlar® cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidrange Driver: 5\"(135mm) black woven Kevlar® cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreble Driver: 1\" (25mm) soft dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAV Shield: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity (2.0V @1m): 90dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power: 25-200W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeak SPL: 110dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal Impedance: 6Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Impedance: 3.5Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response(+\/-3dB): 40Hz ~ 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass Extension(-6dB): 35Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover Frequency: 630Hz \u0026amp; 2.4kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabinet Volume(in litres): 57.6L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight (on plinth): 565mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 300mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth (with terminals): (330+30)mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Weight: 18.4kg\/pcs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGross weight: 20.5kg\/ctn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wharfedale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59103132549455,"sku":"WH.LINTON.WAL","price":1249.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/1663\/9311\/files\/WH.LINTON.WAL-pair.jpg?v=1791878157","url":"https:\/\/music1st.eu\/products\/wharfedale-linton-bookshelf-speakers-walnut-veneer-1-pair","provider":"MUSIC1ST","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
