Linton is Back! Wharfedale, Three Ways

24th May 2019

The original Wharfedale Linton debuted in 1965 and the line continued until the end of the 1970s. This example has been  re-engineered using contemporary techniques and materials

The new Linton is a three-way standmount model retaining similar proportions to the classic Linton models. Its wood-veneered cabinet and has a vintage look, yet the standard of finish is contemporary.

It features a wide baffled 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 fabricdome tweeter with a high-flux ferrite magnet handles high frequencies.
