Wharfedale linton 85 anniversary. Set van twee in de kleur zwart. Geen stands. Geen gebruikssporen, vrijwel nieuw, rookvrij, geen huisdieren. Compleet in de originele verpakking met certificaat en han
The €650 asking price for the Wharfedale LINTON bookshelf speaker sits just below the 75th percentile (€667) of recent EUR comparable listings, making it a fair, well-balanced deal rather than a bargain or an ambitious overprice. With the median at €634, this listing is only €16 above the typical used market value, reflecting strong pricing for a sought-after model.
The LINTON is widely celebrated as a three-way stand-mount speaker that delivers rich, linear sound with deep bass extension down to 40Hz and high sensitivity (90dB), making it an excellent match for a wide range of amplifiers. Its original-owner condition and classic walnut finish add timeless appeal, and at this price, it represents a solid buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a refined, versatile bookshelf speaker with genuine heritage.

Wharfedale traces its roots to 1932, when Gilbert Briggs, a music enthusiast and audio pioneer, crafted his first loudspeaker in the cellar of his home in Ilkley, Yorkshire, England. Named after the scenic Wharfedale valley along the River Wharfe, the company quickly gained traction among radio enthusiasts, winning early competitions and expanding to a factory near Bradford by 1933. Sold to the Rank Organisation in 1958, with Briggs managing until 1965, Wharfedale evolved from wartime subcontracting to postwar dominance in high-fidelity audio, blending British engineering heritage with relentless innovation.
The brand remains synonymous with loudspeakers, pioneering designs like the roll surround cone in the late 1950s, ceramic magnets in 1962, and the acoustic suspension system in the 1960s for deeper bass in compact cabinets. Iconic models such as the Linton, Denton, and enduring Diamond series—launched in 1981—define its core. While it briefly ventured into amplifiers, receivers, turntables, tuners, and even televisions or DVD players until 2008, Wharfedale now focuses exclusively on audio equipment under the International Audio Group.
Wharfedale occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, celebrated for delivering exceptional value, musicality, and build quality that punches above its price point. Far from high-end esoterica or vintage collector bait, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking reliable, globally recognized performance without boutique premiums, its classics like the Diamonds remaining staples for generations of audiophiles.
