Hallo, ich verkaufe meine Linton Heritage 85 in der Silver Edition in Topzustand. Zum Angebot gehören die passenden Stands, ebenfalls in schwarz und tadellos. Zusätzlich zu den originalen Abdeckungen in silber, habe ich mir die Gitter in schwarz gekauft. Auch diese gehören zum Verkaufsumfang. Ich habe mir die Boxen im letzten Jahr bei einem HiFi Händler in Wuppertal gebraucht gekauft. Grund meines Wechsels ist ein Upgrade auf die Super Linton. Es sind keine Verpackungen vorhanden, deshalb kommt hier ausschließlich Abholung in Bochum in Frage. Ausschließlich Barzahlung vor Ort.
Privatverkauf, keine Garantie, keine Rücknahme.
€850 is ambitious versus your local used market: it sits well above the €504 median and also above the €791 75th percentile, so it’s not a fair-market bargain on the numbers alone. For a clean pair in excellent condition, that premium is still only defensible if the set is unusually complete or effectively pristine.
That said, this is a genuinely well-regarded speaker with a strong reputation for scale, warmth, and easy musicality, so it’s the kind of buy people live with happily. The upside here is mainly condition-driven: if the cabinets, grilles, and drivers are truly excellent and the pair has been treated carefully, you’re buying a desirable classic rather than a project.
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.
