Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary

I questioned that too. This has to be a typo.  It is more likely 90db @ 2.87v/1m .  
Compared to the other speakers I have, totem hawk and denton 80th, the Linton are clearly more efficient, and dynamic.

Thank you!
Even 90db @ 2.87v/1m is not bad.
My Polks LSIM 703 are 88 dB and they play quite nicely with iFi Audio Retro Stereo 50 but, maybe, too bright sometimes.

+1 on chrisr view.  They do lack a bit of air so they sound better in my more lightly furnished rooms. Or they open up with certain preamp tubes if I’m running a tube amp. 

At at some pint I’d like to open them up and see the crossover capacitor values. I’m thinking the caps might be generic or inexpensive caps rebranded. I have to remember what price class these are in and not too expect Class A performance from such a budget component.  The looks and fit and finish suggest a more expensive product. 

jbhiller, I'd be very interested to hear how it performs after the crossover upgrade.

Because I’m lazy and or super busy, I emailed Wharfedale for data on the crossovers. I’ll definitely drop a post after I do it.
