This updated model is part of a line of award-winning speakers that are renowned for their exceptional musicality and have won the hearts of tens of thousands of music lovers. Led by Peter Comeau, the Director of Acoustic Design, Wharfedales engineers revisited every aspect of the speakers design, including the cabinet, drive units, and crossover. The outcome of their efforts is the newly upgraded Super Linton.

The SUPER LINTON speakers are now available in 3 different finishes. Walnut, Mahogany, and now Black oak.

The current iteration of the Wharfedale LINTON was launched in 2019 and has since become one of the companys most successful loudspeakers ever! Not only in the number of pairs sold but also in terms of awards, accolades and endorsements from enthusiasts and press alike.

As part of Wharfedales world-famous heritage series, LINTON can boldly but condently claim to be one of the most astounding value loudspeakers of recent times.
Not only is LINTON an exception in design, build, and styling, but its industrial design and acoustic performance have been universally welcomed as a loudspeaker that brings musicality back to music and romance back to home hi-.

Still going strong and one of the most sought-after loudspeakers in the market, LINTON is going nowhere soon and remains a jewel in the crown of Wharfedales ever-popular Heritage series.

Unlike the SUPER LINTON of 67, which was Super on the basis of mainly improved cabinet design, the new SUPER LINTON is genuinely SUPER in every way. Not detracting from its sister, the current LINTON, the SUPER LINTON takes one step further in engineering and performance in almost every aspect. The result is a moderately more expensive but extensively more capable loudspeaker that forms the perfect addition to the Heritage series, oering an upgrade path for existing LINTON owners but also bridging the gap between the agship, made in the UK DOVEDALE model.

Superwhatandsuperhow?

Like the original Super concept, the new SUPER LINTON benets from an enlarged cabinet and propriety Wharfedale sandwich cabinet design that features a resonance-reducing combination of two layers of MDF complemented with a layer of acoustic damping glue.

A new bass unit and a more powerful motor system enhance the low-frequency performance, extending down to 32Hz! This results in a more dramatic and impactful low-end.

For the treble output, SUPER LINTON features a lightweight fabric weave dome coated with special damp-ing material and supported by a ceramic magnet motor system, contributing to its sweet and detailed char-acter. The revised short horn prole ensures smooth response down to the upper midrange, and the new front plate design enhances high-frequency dispersion, matching the transient impact and detailing of the new bass unit.

A new revised chamber for the midrange drive unit works to cancel out mid-band specic back waves by multiple layers of long-hair bre, resulting in a more natural prominence of the vocal and instrument frequencies.

Recognisable as having LINTON DNA, the SUPER LINTONs appearance is a modest update. However, new considerations were made for the driver array and cabinet dimensions. SUPER LINTON sits a modest 50mm/2 ins taller than the current LINTON model. This modest increase in dimensions means the SUPER LINTON doesnt require anything dierent in footprint or spacing in fact, it is designed to use the same LINTON Stand for optimum positioning the much-cherished benet of LP storage remains!
