A SUPER LINTON EXPERIENCE
The Perfect Harmony of Vintage Soul and Contemporary Engineering Excellence
How do you improve Wharfedale’s highest selling loudspeaker of all time? You spend every additional penny of the increased asking price on squeezing as much additional performance out of the Linton that you can. And you do it in such a manner so as fans can’t help but reach just that little bit deeper into their pockets for a superior listening experience. A Super Linton experience.
KEY FEATURES
- Black woven Kevlar drivers for tighter bass and clearer mids
- Extended low-end response down to 32Hz with powerful motor system
- ‘Sandwich’ cabinet construction for reduced resonance and cleaner sound
- Dedicated midrange chamber for expressive, natural vocals and instruments
- Sweet and detailed treble from fabric dome tweeter with ceramic motor
- High-precision crossover design using audiophile-grade components
- Retro-inspired design compatible with original Linton stands
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.
