Ich verkaufe ein Paar der legendären Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary Lautsprecher.
Mit Original Rechnung
Die Lautsprecher wurden vor genau 6 Monaten im deutschen Fachhandel erworben und befinden sich in einem absoluten Traumzustand – optisch wie technisch absolut makellos, wie am ersten Tag.
Die Lintons kombinieren einen wunderschönen, klassischen Vintage-Look mit moderner Lautsprechertechnologie. Klanglich überzeugen sie durch ein warmes, volles und extrem langzeittaugliches Klangbild mit einem beeindruckenden Fundament im Bassbereich.
• 3-Wege-Konstruktion mit großem Kevlar-Tieftöner für einen satten, tiefen Bass.
• Wunderschönes Echtholz-Furnier in hervorragender Verarbeitung.
• Sehr unkritisch im Betrieb und harmonieren mit fast jedem Verstärker.
• Zustand: 1A, absolut neuwertig (Nichtraucherhaushalt)
• Alter: 6 Monate in
This is a seller’s market only in the sense that good, clean Lintons remain desirable; at €900, though, this listing is above the usual used-market level. Your four comparables put the median at €802, with the upper quartile at €882, so €900 is slightly ambitious rather than a bargain. Excellent condition helps, but a modest negotiation toward €850 would make the value feel much stronger.
The appeal is clear: the Linton is a large, three-way stand-mount with an 8-inch woofer, open midrange, smooth treble, generous bass, and an easy-to-drive 90 dB sensitivity. It delivers scale and relaxed musicality that smaller bookshelf speakers rarely match, while remaining compatible with modest amplifiers. Check that both grilles, drivers, terminals, and veneer are genuinely clean; stands are a meaningful bonus, but at €900 they should ideally be 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.
