”With retro good looks and a natural, relaxed sound to match, these Wharfedales are different, but undeniably superb.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Classic heritage
Tracing its family tree right back to 1965, the Wharfedale Linton has a rich heritage. Hugely popular in the late ‘60s, ‘70s and 80s, Linton speakers were highly regarded for their sound, style and value. Fast forward to the 2020s and little has changed. The latest Linton speakers have already wowed the reviewers and still deliver in all the ways their ancestors did.
Sound quality brought bang up-to-date
The classic style remains put the sound quality has come on by leaps and bounds since the first Linton speakers. At the time of the first Lintons, woven Kevlar would be an exotic material for the likes of NASA only. With the current Linton, though, the material is put to good use in the bass and mid-range drive units. Combined with the soft dome tweeter, it gives the Linton speakers an expansive sound with powerful bass and detailed treble.
Easy to match
The Wharfedale Linton speakers are highly efficient, making them easy to drive. The 90dB sensitivity means that even amps with around 20 watts or more can power the Linton speakers to decent levels.
Classic style
Taller and wider than contemporary standmount speakers, the Lintons have a unique presence. That ‘big box’ style is successfully offset by the real wood finishes and dark grille (leave this on for the recommended sound balance), making them less intrusive in your room than you might expect. That bigger, boxier design also means deep, effortless bass.
Complete with matching stands that double as record storage
For the best sound and enhanced style, the Lintons also come with matching stands. These give the speakers solid and stable support, helping to focus the sound. They also feature a shelf that’s ideally sized for record storage.
New choice of luxury finishes
Available in a choice of walnut or mahogany real wood veneers from release, the Linton now has the further option of Black Oak, too. With three finishes to choose from, the speakers blend beautifully with an even wider range of decors. The supplied speaker stands are also finished to match, giving a harmonious style.
Sit back and enjoy the sound, with the Wharfedale Linton speakers.

Very good speaker at the price
Nice full sound with clear bass with a pleasant laid back sound which is very easy on the ear. They suit 90% of the music I listen to and the only criticisms are down to personal taste and that is a slightly more forward midrange and maybe a super tweeter to extend the highs whilst my ears are still young enough to appreciate it. As I do miss my ribbon tweeters.

Classic looks and great sounding
The measurements on these are excellent, and hearing them confirmed they are indeed great. I can listen to these for hours with no fatigue. Meant to be listened to with the grill on, they look fantastic IMO. Retro, but subtle. The JBL Classic L100's look better, but flashier and 4 times the price.
Wide soundstage, and good bass response, obviously improved with a subwoofer.

Lintons!
Amazing service from Aaron and the York shop staff! We popped to the city for a day out with the intention of having a listen. Aaron was more than happy to set them up for us and allow us to listen to some of our favourite tracks. The grin on my wife’s face was amazing when Gallows Pole started. We ordered them soon after. The speakers are immense in every sense of the word. We absolutely love them!

Extremely helpful staff
Went into Richer Sounds as an audio novice to look at vinyl turntables. I was asked if I was in need of any assistance by Gavin who turned out to be the York branch manager. He was extremely helpful and offered a lot of great advice on the best sound system I could get for my money. Gavin offered me a free demonstration on any audio setup I wanted I.e. different speakers, turntables, amps, sub woofers.
You don't get this when you buy online. Outstanding customer service! I was well looked after and I went away with more knowledge and a very happy customer.
If I was in any need of any audio assistance, this is definitely the place I'd go.
Look after the highstreet.

Fantastic warm sound and superb build quality
I recently bought a pair of Wharfedale Linton 85th anniversary speakers and couldn't be happier. They arrived very well packaged and the walnut finish is excellent. The matching stands are superb too with a reassuring weight and fit the style of the speakers perfectly. They have a warm sound and produce a good amount of bass whilst still being clear and bright. They have a sound that only larger cabinets seem to be able to produce. I also love the simple 70s style design, they are quite the statement! Overall, definitely worth considering if you're after new speakers, I'm certainly very pleased with mine!
