Bookshelf speakers
The Wharfedale Super Linton loudspeakers are the maximised version of the iconic Linton loudspeaker. Wharfedale has upgraded the drivers, crossover, and cabinet to give you the best possible performance.
Wharfedale has a rich history in loudspeaker manufacturing dating back to 1932, and its Heritage Series celebrates this legacy with redesigned classics from the 1960s and 1970s. The new Super Linton joins this line, following the success of the original Linton and the recently introduced Super Denton.
Maintaining the classic styling that made the original Linton popular, the Super Linton features a taller, more acoustically refined cabinet. Its dimensions increase the internal volume, which improves sound quality. The cabinet construction uses double layers of fibreboard bonded with specialised damping glue to minimise resonance, while the interior is filled with long pile fibre and acoustic damping foam.
The Super Linton features upgraded drivers that improve audio performance at all frequencies. The 200mm woven Kevlar bass driver, combined with a powerful motor system, extends the low frequency response down to 32Hz, delivering deep, punchy bass.
The new tweeter unit features a fine weave and a damped rear chamber, allowing for exceptional clarity and detail in the treble range. The midrange transducer, housed in a specially designed chamber, ensures seamless integration with the bass and treble for a cohesive listening experience.
At the heart of the Super Linton is an all-new crossover, designed to minimise electromagnetic interference. This split-circuit arrangement uses high-quality inductors and capacitors to ensure transparency and audio fidelity. Improved internal wiring further optimises signal transfer, allowing for a richer sound.
The Super Linton is finished with hand-combined wood veneers and a satin lacquer finish, adding a modern touch to its vintage aesthetic. It maintains a high sensitivity of 90 dB, making it compatible with a wide range of amplifiers, from 25 W to 200 W per channel.
With its remarkable blend of rich heritage and modern technology, the Super Linton elevates every aspect of the original design. It delivers deep bass, expressive mids and detailed highs, allowing music lovers to fully immerse themselves in their favourite albums.
Acoustic Design Director at Wharfedale, Peter Comeau, emphasises that the Super Linton enhances the pleasure of listening to music while remaining true to the authenticity of its design. The speaker embodies a perfect fusion of classic charm and advanced audio performance, making it a must-have product for any music enthusiast.
