Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary

tonyenders, needless to say you ultimately chose the Linton.

I used to own a pair of C7ES3 and I am on the verge of get a pair of Linton.

Would you care to elaborate as why/how you reached such decision?

It'd help me greatly.

With their standard 3-way T-M-W configuration, the Lintons are not really directly comparable to Harbeths or Spendors that are more expensive, but not too many orders so, as those Harbeths and Spendors will be 2-way designs or super-tweeter/tweeter/mid-bass models.  The Lintons in this sense are more like scaled-down 40.2's or Classic 100's.  I know this is an improbable comparison, but has anybody been able to make this comparison?

Got my pair and thinking of selling it. But then again at that low price in think I ll keep it for my collection. ;)

I am really interested in these speakers but I feel I would be cheating on my Forte iii's if bought them. 😟

Hificrazed, I have both as you may recall from another discussion we both were involved with. 

The Fortes are overall a better speaker but the Lintons are not faulty. In fact they kept my Fortes on the bench longer than I expected. 

They are are very different. I like having options to suit my taste on a particular day-kind of like having different meals.
