Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary Speakers

Introducing the Linton 85th Anniversary Speakers

The Power of an Icon, Reborn

Wharfedale's Linton is one of the most iconic models in Wharfedale’s storied history.

Dating back to 1965, the Linton series has stood the test of time as a benchmark of quality and value decade after decade.

The newest incarnation blends fine craftsmanship, rich sound quality, and timeless aesthetics—delivering a speaker that’s as musical as it is beautiful.

KEY FEATURES
Linton's Iconic three-way speaker design with woven Kevlar bass and midrange drivers
Woven textile dome tweeter with high-flux magnet for smooth high-frequency detail
Classic hand-veneered cabinet with traditional baffle and cloth grille
Optional matching stands with vinyl record storage and precision damping
Balanced, natural sound with refined crossover engineering
CLASSICALLY MODERN THREE-WAY DESIGN

Continuing Wharfedale’s tradition of three-way speaker systems, combining vintage aesthetics with leading technology. The Linton 85th Anniversary Speakers feature meticulously crafted, hand-veneered cabinets and inset baffles with traditional cloth grilles.  They're balanced with advanced componentry for a performance that is as refined as it is faithful to the Linton legacy.

DETAILED THREE-WAY DRIVER ARCHITECTURE

Wharfedale’s woven Kevlar cones mounted on rigid die-cast chassis replace paper & polymer cones.  Linton's 85th bass is managed by a robust Kevlar woofer, while a dedicated midrange driver (in its very own chamber), deliver lifelike vocals.  This works hand in hand with the woven textile dome tweeter ensuring crisp, extended high frequencies.

Finally the crossover design is computer aided & optimised, the bass units are reflex loaded by two rear ports and so the Linton looks every bit a classic, but inside it's as contemporary as it gets.

DESIGNED TO STAND TALL

The Wharfedale Linton Stands (sold separately) are designed specifically to complement these speakers bringing the tweeter to ideal ear level for seated listening. Featuring matching wood veneers and a rigid, vibration-dampening structure to ensure optimal acoustic performance.
