SUPER LINTON

The 3-way vented-box standmount loudspeaker of the Super Linton Heritage Speakers  feature a new 200 mm woven kevlar bass driver as well as a 135 mm woven kevlar midrange driver and newly designed 25 mm soft dome treble unit. Additionally the increased cabinet volume (605 x 300 x 330 mm) and a highly refined split PCB crossover combine to confirm that the Super Linton is the "superior Linton" in Wharfedale’s Heritage family.

CROSSOVER CRAFTSMANSHIP

The newly designed split PCB crossover eliminates electromagnetic interference that degrades delicate midrange and treble performance, whilst the audiophile-grade inductors, capacitors and resistors were chosen with painstaking precision to seamlessly stitch together high, mid and low frequencies, giving your music a single, unified voice.

OFF THE DEEP END

Greater cabinet volume, increased magnet strength, and a more powerful motor system bootstrap Super Linton’s bass extension. But more remarkable than the 32 Hz it can deliver is the improved transiences and bass impact, delivering low notes with weight and at lightning speed.

BUILT TO EXCEED EXPECTATION

Combining padded inner walls of thick acoustic damping foam with long-hair fibre and Wharfedale’s advanced Sandwich cabinet construction, Super Linton exceeds its predecessor’s damping performance, reducing cabinet resonances to levels below audibility.

Now you can experience the true texture of each note and not the colour of Linton’s cabinets.

MIDRANGE MAGIC

Super Linton’s redesigned midrange chamber, is now generously proportioned cylindrical design with graded layers of long-hair fibre damping.  This technology cancels rear-cone back waves for remarkable midrange clarity. Linton has long prided itself on midrange realism. Super Linton is nothing short of surreal.

THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS IN THE DETAIL

Super Linton’s design brief was simple. If it improved performance, it was reworked. That’s why specially contoured profile updates, that minimised edge interference and maximised midrange/treble balance, were implemented within Super Linton’s grilles.

A small tweak offering significant listening rewards.

TAKING LINTON TO NEW HEIGHTS

An updated shorthorn profile, paired with a newly designed front plate, smooths treble response and enhances dispersion, while its new lightweight fabric dome, coated with a special damping material and driven by a ceramic magnet system, delivers sweet, detailed upper frequencies.

DESIGNED TO STAND TALL

While the Super Linton stands are 2 inches (50 mm) taller, its width and depth remain untouched. So it’s perfectly positioned to rest upon the original Linton stand, the widely-praised LP storage doubles that let vinyl fans display their favourite albums beneath their favourite speakers.
