Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary

These are fun speakers.  They are musical and smooth. An absolute pleasure to hear with tubes.

I cannot believe how well made they are at this price point.  I'd like to wheel in a pair of Harbeths or Spendors (classic type) to have a shootout.  The stands are well executed.  Everything feels substantial and high end.  Color me impressed.

I own the Forte III and the Linton and they are now my two "flavors".  I'm having second thoughts on selling my PSB Imagine T2s, as they might be the perfect third flavor.

I swapped out my favorite tube (7581A) for an octet of KT150s last night.  The Lintons do sound better with more power than EL34 variants can give.

@big_katydid I'm also with you on the eq. I have a McIntosh MA9000 and use the EQ to either tame or energize recordings. Very useful. @jbhiller good tip on the KT150's.

I would love to hear the Linton’s. I am in need of a $1500+ bookshelf speaker and these are what I am considering at this time:
Bryston Mini T-
Tyler Linbrook Signature-
Legacy Studio Monitor
Splendor Classic SP 100
Buchardt S 400
Gershmann Grand Studio-
Russell K 100
Kerr Acoustics K 300

Anyone personally heard any of the above speakers compared to the Wharfedale Linton Heritage speakers?
