Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary Review

Figures. It's a 6 in one hand half a dozen in the other. Paying with card is effectively a 2% cash back plus a 1 year extended warranty though which is nice. Cash just gives more time and is nice on cash flow because 0% is 0% and cash in hand is more valuable than cash in the future. But whatever.

Now to decide on color....(probably mahogany)

are the MD demo Mahogany still available ? Save some money for cables and vinyl, MD's open box is usually top notch.

You have to jump on deals quick or they disappear. Early bird gets the worm. Good luck on whichever way you go.

When I found the SuperChexx arcade game I was looking for I think I was in the guys driveway within the hour cash in hand. I'd missed out on enough to know that politeness was the wrong method. It's full court press until the item is in my hands.

That's not what happened with the used pair I was going to get. There was some sketchiness that may just be over-reacting. But also not trying to lose a kidney to night mather. So playing it safe.

I think this is smart. Mather is a shifty fellow.

Now the decision is do I do the 0% financing or just but them outright. Anyone know if you can pay the financing with a credit card (I want my points) also how fast is shipping from MD when you buy something like this?

From what I recall, shipping is very quick. I think last time I bought gear from MD, I got it within a few days.

I'd go CC rewards and just buy them outright if you already have the money and feel comfortable spending it now. and not to throw a wrench in it, but I bought mine from here:

Wharfedale Linton Heritage 3-way Large Standmounted Speakers

LINTON Heritage The Wharfedale LINTON represents one of the most iconic models in the long history of Wharfedale loudspeakers. A model that embodied the Wharfedale pioneering research through the 60s, 70s and 80s, with a bloodline dating back to 1965, LINTON has always been manufactured...

Looks like $100 cheaper than MD. It made a lot of sense for me because I got them at the old price, but there was also free shipping and no sales tax for me. Today, that's a $300 savings (looks like the speakers do not ship for free from MD and it's a $150 charge plus tax would be $150 for me). So it saved me quite a lot of money. Might be worth looking into. MD might be better if there happen to be any issues though so you may decide to just buy from MD.

Yea I called MD, they said it would be free shipping but the website is being glitchy. Tax is going to suck but I may see if I have a friend in OR I can ship them too.
 
Would be nice if there was a store in Oregon that had them so I could shop local but apparently there's no US distribution on the site besides MD

I'm seeing 2 places in WA state and one in Idaho, and then places in California on the Wharfedale site.

Did you check Crutchfield or Upscale Audio too? They're very reputable, and Upscale is in CA.
