Listening Experience

The Super Linton offers a warm, expansive and highly musical presentation. Its dedicated midrange driver provides lifelike vocal reproduction with exceptional expressiveness, while the soft-dome tweeter ensures refined treble detail without harshness.

The large woofer and substantial cabinet design provide deep, articulate bass that anchors music with authority. Imaging is wide and immersive, allowing recordings to expand naturally within the room.

Comparison with the Wharfedale Linton

While the Super Linton draws clear inspiration from the classic Wharfedale Linton, it represents a step forward in refinement, scale and modern performance:

• Superior midrange clarity: The Super Linton uses a dedicated dome midrange driver for improved vocal articulation, whereas the Linton relies on a simpler two-way design.
• Greater bandwidth and resolution: Enhanced driver materials and crossover tuning result in more detailed retrieval and air in the treble.
• Deeper, more controlled bass: The upgraded woofer and cabinet structure offer better low-frequency authority and precision.
• More expressive soundstage: Three-way dispersion provides increased openness and a more stable stereo image.
• Classic styling, even more refined: The Super Linton retains the vintage look of the Linton but with updated craftsmanship and materials.

In short, the Super Linton is a more sophisticated interpretation: more detailed, more controlled and more capable—while preserving the warm, inviting character that made the Linton a beloved classic.

Recommended Room Size

The Wharfedale Super Linton is best suited for medium to large rooms. Its generous output and extended bass response allow it to energize bigger spaces while maintaining balance and composure.

Amplifier Pairing

The Super Linton performs beautifully with integrated amplifiers providing **40 to 200 watts per channel**. Amplifiers with strong current delivery and good damping will maximize bass precision and dynamic control.

Higher-powered tube and solid-state amplifiers also complement its warm, expressive character, giving the system both finesse and authority.
