The latest loudspeaker to join this collection is the Linton. The original Linton debuted in 1965 and the line continued in various iterations until the end of the 1970s. It was a classic model of its time viewed as a serious hi-fi speaker but also relatively affordable. Its cabinet was substantial big enough to hold three drive units including a good-sized bass unit yet not overly unwieldy by the standards of the day. The new Linton has a clear family resemblance. It too is a three-way standmount model a rarity in the modern era retaining similar proportions to the classic Linton models. Its wood-veneered cabinet has a vintage look yet the standard of finish is distinctly contemporary.” – Wharfedale RECOMMENDED ADD-ON Kimber Kable: 4PR Series Speaker Cables 10 ft / Pair / Banana Plug select option above TECH SPECS Enclosure type: bass reflex Transducer complement: 3-way Bass driver: 5″130mm 8″200mm black woven Kevlar cone Midrange driver: 5″135mm black woven Kevlar cone Treble driver: 1″25mm soft dome AV shield: No Sensitivity2.83V @ 1m: 90d – B Recommended amplifier power: 25-200W Peak SPL: 110d – B Nominal impedance: 6 Minimum impedance: 3.5 Frequency response+/-3d – B: 40Hz 20k – Hz Bass extension-6d – B: 35Hz Crossover frequency: 630Hz 2.4k – Hz Height on plinth 22.24″ / 565mm Width: 11.8″ / 300mm – Depth with terminals: 14.17″ / 360mm Net weight: 40.56 lbs / 18.4kg COMES WITH 2 loudspeakers 2 stands detachable grilles
