Verkeert in nieuwstaat, retour gekomen van een klant en nu scherp geprijsd! De wharfedale linton speakers in de stijlvolle afwerking mahogany red combineren een tijdloos ontwerp met een warm, natuurli
The Wharfedale Linton is a well-regarded vintage-leaning standmount with a big, warm, room-filling presentation, but €799 is ambitious versus your used-market anchor. Against 13 recent EUR comparables, it sits well above the €660 75th percentile and far above the €306 median, so this is only sensible if the condition is unusually strong or extras are included.
What makes it appealing is the Linton’s easy musicality: rich midrange, forgiving treble, and proper scale for voices, jazz, and classic rock, especially with the right stands. If the listing is clean, complete, and from a careful owner, the upside is real—but at this price I’d want proof of excellent condition, original packaging, and any matching accessories before moving.

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.
