Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary

@sumaato , I'm still breaking them in.  I like the bass alot.  I think it's more prominent than more Klipsch Forte IIIs, which is interesting.  The Forte IIIs use a passive radiator on the rear. The Wharfedale uses rear bass reflex ports.  I haven't gotten enough time with them to give a review of how the Linton's truly perform.  I will say, the 8" woofer gives a good sense of visceral presence to the mid lows and low end.  Unlike the Dentons, these are not small bookshelf speakers.  I'd feel more comfortable give you more opinions if I heard them in different size rooms too.  They certainly aren't bass shy to me. Let me see if I can put some miles on them and get back to you. 

Thank you  for the useful comments.
I think you may be the very first owner to be talking about these speakers, in the audio forum world or elsewhere.
You have the mic.....we are all listening!

Anyone in or near Chicagoland and want to test drive them?  Happy to meet fellow music lovers. 

@jbhiller
Are you saying the Lintons have more bass than the Klipsch Forte III?

I heard both extensively at AXPONA a few weeks ago and the Lintons has absolutely no bass or warmth, they were all midrange and sounded lo-fi and awful IMHO. The ForteIII sounded huge and full range and were one of my favorites. They could rock the house down.
No disrespect or offense but I simply cannot understand how you could come to such a conclusion.
