Offered is „Linton Anniversary 85 inkl. Ständer“ by Wharfedale as exhibit from the category „Compact Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9221036108 ends on 17.10.2026 at 06:03 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for the Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary, and the €900 asking price is fair, sitting just below the median of €902 from recent comparable EUR listings. With the 25th percentile at €870 and the 75th at €906, €900 lands in the sweet spot of the used market—neither a bargain nor ambitious, but a solid, honest value for a clean, EUR-condition unit.
The Linton 85s are well-regarded for their three-way design, linear response, and easy-to-drive 90dB sensitivity, delivering rich, balanced sound with deep bass extension down to 35Hz. Their real wood veneers and purpose-built stands add both aesthetic and functional value. At this price, especially if stands are included, it’s a compelling buying opportunity for an enthusiast seeking a high-performing, timeless stand-mount speaker with original-owner care. No caveats apply here; the listing is clean and the product is material.

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.
