Wharfedale - Linton 85th Anniversary Bookshelf Speakers (Walnut, Pair) **OPEN BOX**

www.musicdirect.com

Yep. But sadly this is at the new price and doesn’t include stands. Once you add stands they are only about $50 cheaper than a new pair.

Y'all weren't lying about these Lintons....they sound so nice and aren't even broken in yet. Really enjoying both vinyl + high-res digital on them so far. Every genre I throw at it sounds fantastic. Still need to fully dial-in the toe in but am really impressed.

Just did a thing...

So what, half the forum will have Lintons now?

Just wait for the next big thing. Then buy a set of Lintons from someone selling them to buy the next big thing.

If you have patience, this is sound advice

My last speakers were made in 1987. Unless I don’t like them, my Lintons are for life!

What are the chances there's a stupid good black friday sale?

I don’t know that I see Black Friday deals on wharfedale stuff…they just raised the price on them too…

I think given supply shortages and price rises that the Black Friday and January sales are going to be much weaker this time around!

Apparently they are doing a promotion just now where you get a free whisky decanter and glasses. At least they are in Oz. Think I’m getting it at the old price, or at least the price with 10% off.

Cosmetically perfect, but still have to play. Pretty confident all will be well.

Urgh, speaker cable coming separately! Can’t listen to them for another couple of days!!!

Also, W’s on the outside or the inside? Manual says outside, doesn’t it?

The manual doesn’t say anything. L&R is printed on the boxes. Wharfedale told me it can vary depending on room so neither is right or wrong so experiment lol. I found outside suited me best.

This is the manual I got, grills on the outside.
