When it comes to vintage hifi, few brands have the bona fides of Wharfedale – one of the oldest, and most respected names in audio. A bit larger than their predecessor, the 85th Anniversary Lintons deliver a beautiful sense of scale and space. With a crisp lower end, perfect stereo imaging, and layers upon layers of exquisite detail, the Linton is perhaps the perfect blend vintage lines and modern componentry. The clever finish-matched stands hold not only your speakers, but your favorite vinyl as well. Auditions are available at our showroom in Denver, and we would encourage you to stop in for a listen.
Includes stands and black grilles. Aural exclusive grille colors are also available, please inquire.

- Liner Notes
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. The new Wharfedale Linton further exemplifies these two edicts, balancing fine craftsmanship, natural sound quality and affordability inside a beautifully proportioned loudspeaker that has been bought in its millions right across the globe through it’s various incarnations.
