Verkeert in nieuwstaat, retour gekomen van een klant en nu scherp geprijsd! De wharfedale linton is een luidspreker met een geschiedenis die teruggaat tot 1965. Het ontwerp werd een paar keer bijgewer
Compared with a typical used floorstander or premium bookshelf at this budget, €999 is firmly ambitious against the recent used LINTON market: the median is €236, the 75th percentile is €626, and this ask sits well above even that upper band. That makes it hard to call a bargain; it only makes sense if the seller is effectively pricing in near-new condition, scarce finish, or a full, desirable package.
That said, the LINTON earns its reputation the old-fashioned way: big, relaxed midrange, generous scale, and a presentation that flatters vocals and acoustic music without sounding fussy. Buyers should mainly assess whether this is a complete, clean pair with the matching stands and original extras, because the value here lives in condition and completeness more than in raw age. At this price, those details need to be exceptional.
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.
