WHARFEDALE Super Linton Heritage Loudspeakers
Unlike the SUPER LINTON of ’67, which was’ Super’ on the basis of mainly improved cabinet design, the new SUPER LINTON is genuinely SUPER in every way. Not detracting from its sister, the current LINTON, the SUPER LINTON takes one step further in engineering and performance in almost every aspect. The result is a moderately more expensive but extensively more capable loudspeaker that forms the perfect addition to the Heritage series, offering an upgrade path for existing LINTON owners but also bridging the gap between the flagship, made in the UK DOVEDALE model.
Like the original ‘Super’ concept, the new SUPER LINTON benefits from an enlarged cabinet and propriety Wharfedale sandwich cabinet design that features a resonance-reducing combination of two layers of MDF complemented with a layer of acoustic damping glue.
A new bass unit and a more powerful motor system enhance the low-frequency performance, extending down to 32Hz! This results in a more dramatic and impactful low-end.
For the treble output, SUPER LINTON features a lightweight fabric weave dome coated with special damp-ing material and supported by a ceramic magnet motor system, contributing to its sweet and detailed char-acter. The revised short horn profile ensures smooth response down to the upper midrange, and the new front plate design enhances high-frequency dispersion, matching the transient impact and detailing of the new bass unit.
A new revised chamber for the midrange drive unit works to cancel out mid-band specific back waves by multiple layers of long-hair fibre, resulting in a more natural prominence of the vocal and instrument frequencies.
Recognisable as having ‘LINTON DNA’, the SUPER LINTON’s appearance is a modest update. However, new considerations were made for the driver array and cabinet dimensions. SUPER LINTON sits a modest 50mm/2 ins taller than the current LINTON model. This modest increase in dimensions means the SUPER LINTON doesn’t require anything different in footprint or spacing – in fact, it is designed to use the same LINTON Stand for optimum positioning… the much-cherished benefit of LP storage remains!
