WHARFEDALE SUPER LINTON

Optional STAND  € 390,00; Discounted price € 340,00

The Wharfedale Super Linton represents a significant evolution within the renowned Heritage series, blending tradition and innovation in a speaker that both renews and surpasses the achievements of the original model. Developed by the team led by Peter Comeau, Director of Acoustic Design, this new model is the result of a meticulous revision of every key component—from the cabinet to the crossover, down to the drivers themselves. The result is a speaker deeply rooted in Wharfedale’s sonic philosophy, while also introducing substantial technical improvements.

Compared to the classic Linton, the Super Linton features a cabinet that is slightly taller—just 5 centimeters more—but uses this increased volume to integrate a dual-layer MDF sandwich construction with a damping adhesive layer in between. This solution significantly reduces internal resonances and enables cleaner sound reproduction. The newly designed woofer, paired with a more powerful magnetic system, extends the frequency response down to 32 Hz, delivering deeper and more impactful bass. Meanwhile, the high-frequency range benefits from a coated fabric soft-dome tweeter, featuring a ceramic magnet and an optimized waveguide, offering detailed yet non-fatiguing sound.

The midrange section has also been completely reworked, with a new dedicated chamber using long-fiber materials to dampen reflected waves, contributing to a more natural reproduction of voices and instruments. This refinement results in improved tonal coherence, where each frequency finds its place with clarity and harmony.

Aesthetically, the Super Linton retains the classic and recognizable charm of its predecessor, preserving the vintage design that makes it an unmistakable part of the Heritage family. Available in three elegant finishes—walnut, mahogany, and the new black oak—it blends easily into a variety of listening environments. Despite the updates to size and design, it remains compatible with the same stands as the standard Linton, including those with integrated LP shelves, preserving the practical and well-loved multifunctional furniture aspect.

The Wharfedale Super Linton is not merely an upgraded version—it’s a true leap forward in engineering, musicality, and performance. It’s designed both for enthusiasts already fond of the Linton sound and for those seeking a speaker with a rich, immersive, and engaging character, capable of combining analog warmth with modern precision in a single listening experience.
