Wharfedale Linton Heritage available for audition in BLR

[AKT]

Fellow FMs in BLR,

Linton Heritage can be auditioned at Star Audio Video Solutions, Austin Town, BLR. Pls hit up Lokesh.

Kshitij (Designer Audio, Mumbai) and I spoke and he kindly designated Star AV for Wharfedale products.
Lokesh is easy-going, helpful and extremely savvy. He has been in the industry for long. He has a well appointed demo room (used for HT demos so is a little dark themed) and was quite flexible with me bringing partnering equipment. Parking is on the street but it is a by-lane so was not an issue for a regular sized sedan.

I bough a pair of Lintons from him past Sunday.

Take care.
Abhishek

EVO 4.2 would complete three categories of display in that case, sub 50k/100k/150k

Yes, in terms of categories. 12.4 is around 95k, 4.2 - 80k n Linton at 130k

He should be able to get that for you. I had asked him for Dentons and he didn't say no.

That would have been my Lintons! I had requested him to burn in before I auditioned. He politely obliged. Great guy!

Can you share a sense of the sound signature of Lintons? Classic Wharfedale with recessed mids for a soft sound?

Congratulations! While the speakers would appeal to a certain type of listener, they are much loved by their owners if I go by discussions on the Wharfedale users FB group. In my demo I’ve found them highly engaging and fun speakers - one of the most musical in that price range. They should rock really well. Have a gala time with the Lintons - the number is steadily growing in the forum. And please share your experience in detail here in due course of time. What would you be driving them with?

Not really. They aren’t recessed, nor too forward. You can read these two reviews to get more idea:

Wharfedale Linton Heritage - What an all rounder!!

There are probably very few speakers that offer greater value then Wharfdale Linton's! Drama start no? I heard the Wharfdale Linton driven by the magnificent Luxman M-700u power amp (oozing finish and those mesmeric VU meters) and the Audiolab 6000A serving as the preamp. Front end was my...
