ℹ Product Information
Where Legacy Meets Legendary Performance
The Super Linton Heritage isn't just another speaker—it's a masterful evolution of Wharfedale's celebrated Linton legacy, reimagined for the modern audiophile who refuses to compromise. This isn't merely an upgrade; it's a complete reimagining of what's possible when traditional craftsmanship meets cutting-edge acoustic engineering.
A Symphony of Innovation
At its heart, the Super Linton Heritage houses a revolutionary three-way design that pushes the boundaries of sonic excellence. The commanding 8-inch Kevlar bass driver plunges deep into the low frequencies, reaching down to an impressive 32Hz, while delivering the kind of impact and authority that makes drum kicks feel like they're performing in your living room. The carefully engineered 5-inch Kevlar midrange driver, nestled in its own acoustically-optimized chamber, reproduces voices and instruments with an uncanny naturalness that brings performances to life.
Crafted for Perfection
The cabinet itself is a testament to Wharfedale's unwavering commitment to acoustic excellence. Using a proprietary sandwich construction combining MDF and particle board, bonded with specialized acoustic damping glue, the Super Linton Heritage creates an incredibly inert platform for the drivers to perform their magic. This isn't just about reducing resonance—it's about eliminating it entirely, ensuring that what you hear is pure, unadulterated music.
Versatile Excellence
With a sensitivity of 90dB and a nominal 6-ohm impedance, the Super Linton Heritage plays beautifully with a wide range of amplifiers from 25 to 200 watts. Whether you're powering them with tubes or solid-state, these speakers reward you with a performance that's both refined and dynamic. The innovative split-PCB crossover design, featuring premium components and LCOFC internal wiring, ensures that every nuance of your music is preserved with pristine clarity.
Design That Commands Attention
Available in luxurious walnut, mahogany, or black oak finishes, the Super Linton Heritage makes a bold visual statement that's as timeless as its sound. Standing proudly at 605mm tall, these speakers demand attention without overwhelming your space. Paired with their dedicated stands (which cleverly double as LP storage), they create a complete solution that's as practical as it is beautiful.
The Heritage of Tomorrow
The Super Linton Heritage isn't just a speaker—it's an investment in musical enjoyment that will continue to reward you for years to come. It represents everything that has made Wharfedale a legend in British audio, while pushing forward into new territory of acoustic excellence. For those who understand that great music deserves an exceptional speaker, the Super Linton Heritage awaits.
Whether you're rediscovering your vinyl collection or exploring the latest high-resolution digital recordings, these speakers reveal layers of detail and emotion you never knew existed in your favorite recordings. The Super Linton Heritage doesn't just play music—it brings you closer to the heart of the performance, making every listening session an event to remember.
