I own a pair of Lintons 85. They are very good set of speakers and need to match it with suitable amp.Wharfedale Linton
I was supposed to tag you in this post but couldn't remember your username. From a modification thread conversation, I remembered you got a pair of those.I own a pair of Lintons 85. They are very good set of speakers and need to match it with suitable amp.
Thanks. Will check with them for Demo !!Bass N Treble at Ghitorni carry Wharfedales. You could call Denny/Jenny and set up an audition.
Source is Tidal using HEOS app from Denon 1600h. How is the Mid Range and Mid Bass ?Yes Myself own it.It's a good speaker for its money.
What is your source and amp .
Whats your opinion on the Vocal output and the Mid Range Bass output ?I own a pair of Lintons 85. They are very good set of speakers and need to match it with suitable amp.
Vocals are very prominent and detailed, can hear all details and low mid frequencies of Diana Krall. Bass is good and plenty, needs a solid amp to keep it controlled. Treble is not prominent I would say, but has good details.Whats your opinion on the Vocal output and the Mid Range Bass output ?

Yes. Thats the plan ..... exploring speakers first .... and then would be the next steps ....Don't use these beautiful speakers with an AVR. Doesn't do justice at all.
Get a Integrated Amplifier, if possible more than 50wpc.
Awesome, do let us know which IA you getYes. Thats the plan ..... exploring speakers first .... and then would be the next steps ....

The speaker Tonality is very good.It has good mid too..The Low-end bass extends very good...Based on Room you may need to position it good to avoid Boominess.Source is Tidal using HEOS app from Denon 1600h. How is the Mid Range and Mid Bass ?

Thanks for the detailed feedback. So, this needs good space at the back and sides, to get good sound output. Space is an issue with me. I can at max ... provide 12 inch from back and 12 inch from side.Good:
Contrary to the popular opinion - Good imaging. need to arrive at a compromise with soundstage width though.
Great midrange. Vocals sound awesome, esp female vocals.
Extremely high WAF. Gorgeous looks, very good build.
Slightly on the warmer side of neutral. depends on source and amp.
Good soundstage. speakers disappear in your room.
Ok:
Need a good amp else those woofers and lower mid-range sound boomy.
Need space behind them. At least 18" from the rear wall. Clarity is compromised otherwise.
Need space on the sides. Soundstage width is compromised otherwise.
Good textured bass but bottoms at ~40Hz. However, what more could you ask from a bookshelf after all!
Not so good:
Low dynamics. Avg. performer with rock genre
Achilles Heel: Top end simmer/air/space is not present. Folks have taken care of the same with simple crossover upgrades but best to leave that conversation for another time, and that should not play into your buying criteria.
You know this, almost all speakers need space, esp the ones which are rear ported. I have a question for you - What factors led you to zero down on the Lintons...?Thanks for the detailed feedback. So, this needs good space at the back and sides, to get good sound output. Space is an issue with me. I can at max ... provide 12 inch from back and 12 inch from side.
My room size is 10x18. I have kept 3.5 feet rear gap and half feet on the side. Its a living room. I get good imaging and stage. The meen distance between speakers is 8 feet and I sit 8 feat away from both the speakers.space
+1You know this, almost all speakers need space, esp the ones which are rear ported. I have a question for you - What factors led you to zero down on the Lintons...?
mainly bcuz it has 3-way ... having separate drivers for Mid and specially a 8 inch driver for bass and online reviews on Vocal tonal quality. It seems to have a flat response for the entire frequency spectrum .... and did not want to stretch my budget beyond 1.5 lacs ....You know this, almost all speakers need space, esp the ones which are rear ported.

You, Sir, are one informed buyer. You have your preferences sorted.mainly bcuz it has 3-way ... having separate drivers for Mid and specially a 8 inch driver for bass and online reviews on Vocal tonal quality.
