Verkeert in nieuwstaat, retour gekomen van een klant en nu scherp geprijsd! De wharfedale linton heritage stands zijn speciaal ontworpen luidsprekerstands voor de wharfedale linton en super linton lui
€199 is a strong deal versus your used-market anchor: well below the €172 25th percentile? Actually, correcting to the provided numbers, it sits just above the lower quartile? Wait—using the ground truth, the asking price is below the €172 25th percentile? No, it isn’t; €199 is above €172 but still far under the €453 median, so this reads as a clearly good-value listing rather than a bargain-basement steal.
That makes it a worthwhile buy if it’s complete and working cleanly. This model is widely respected for its big, warm, room-filling presentation and easy musicality, with enough scale and midrange presence to make vocals and acoustic music shine. At this price, the main upside is simply getting a highly regarded classic speaker for well under typical asking levels; just confirm driver condition, cabinet integrity, and whether any original grilles/stands are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
