In this Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary Vintage Grey Speaker Grilles (pair) Review, we celebrate the marriage of heritage aesthetics and modern acoustic precision. Whether you own the original Linton or the enhanced Super Linton launched in 2024, these Vintage Grey grilles are a statement upgrade—perfect for those who prize both style and sonic integrity.

A Seamless Blend of Heritage and Innovation

Wharfedale’s Linton series has defined British loudspeaker design since the 1960s. The revival in 2019, followed by the 2024 Super Linton, introduced refined driver arrays, optimised crossovers, and cabinet bracing—all while honouring the original’s warm, natural tonality. With the Vintage Grey grilles, you retain acoustic transparency thanks to precision-engineered fabric and minimal resonance absorption, plus add a fresh, sophisticated finish that complements Walnut, Mahogany or Black Oak cabinets effortlessly.

Design & Build Quality

Crafted in the UK to the same rigorous standards as the speakers themselves, these grilles feature a robust frame with snug magnetic mounting, ensuring no rattles even at peak output. The woven acoustic cloth has been meticulously selected to minimise diffraction and preserve the Linton’s midrange clarity. Installation is tool-free—simply align and magnetise.
