Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85 Anniversary Crossover and Speakers Upgrade

[Gerald M.]

Hello, I am doing a research for a modification and upgrade the Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85 Anniversary.
I already start to doing this modification and I need some suggestions and information about, like replace coil inductors, capacitors and resistors.
Mine, I already replaced all capacitors with Mundorf MCap Supreme Capacitor, Jantzen Audio 400V Cross Cap Crossover Capacitor and Jantzen 160V Compact MKT Metalized Polyester Film Capacitor., plus the resistors with "Audio grade resistors" with same value, just better material.
For me the challenge is that coil inductors, because I found this models to replace, but I still doesn't know if is the correct ones. If somebody replaced, I like to know, model, brand and value each and how did you install in your speaker. I also replaced the internal cables, binding posts and tweeter too. The tweeter, I replaced with Wharfedale Super Linton tweeter. BY the way, I sell in this moment on Reverb web site some original parts and both tweeters for Lintons.
I bought these speakers a months ago (March 2025)) and a week later start to disassembly for modification. I go to provided all research and information that I have. Thanks and any more information , pictures and details will be great, thanks.

Linton Heritage uses 4 coils inductors.
1 - round coil 0.23mH/0.55mm 22AWG Replaced with Jantzen Audio 0.30mH 18 AWG Air Core Inductor Crossover Coil
1 - coil inductor with ferrite 0.62mH/1.0mm 18AWG Replaced with Jantzen Audio 0.68mH 15 AWG Air Core Inductor Crossover Coil
1 - coil inductor with ferrite 2.4mH/1.0mm 18AWG Replaced with Dayton Audio 2.5mH 14 AWG Perfect Layer Air Core Inductor Crossover Coil
1 - coil inductor 2.2mH/0.55mm 22AWG Still the same, no changed

These are the old Wharfedale coils and the new ones.

Wharfedale new update of the crossover waiting some capacitors.
The whole capacitors will be on top and resistors on the other side.
I go to use a Stainless Steel Spacers, 4mm ID x 8mm OD x 12mm

I am still thinking about to replace the front cover of the tweeter, since the old one has four pins and is very difficult to remove when you need to fix the tweeter. The super Linton are more easy, since use 4 screws. But they are different in size and different in diameter. the old face plate, the whole diameter are larger 3"inches instead the new super Linton are 2.75" inches.

Also, tweeter will be replace with new Super Linton tweeter.

and Speaker Binding Posts Satin Nickel Pos/Neg Pair HD-BP1-B Audio Terminals was replaced with solid and heavy ones. The original looks nice, but poor quality. These new ones was a new stock from Thiel brand.
