I've heard the Lintons.
They certainly had that nostalgic charm to them. The sound was pleasant and laid-back, maybe a bit too laid-back. Not the most versatile. More exciting music like flamenco guitar sounded too polite. I can certainly understand their appeal and I do think they hold up well to their competitions at their price point.
But for almost same price you can get Amphion Argon 1 which is much more fun sounding and if you can top up a few hundred dollars more you can get the class leading Triangle Comete 40th.
