Wharfedale Super Linton

Familiar at heart. Expanded in every direction.

Wharfedale Super Linton three-way bookshelf loudspeaker in Walnut finish with the black grille installed, shown from a front three-quarter angle.

The Super Linton builds on everything that has made the Linton 85 a modern classic while extending its capabilities with greater authority, refinement, and dynamic expression. Drawing on engineering developed for Wharfedale’s flagship Dovedale, it preserves the relaxed musicality of the original while revealing more of every recording.

The result is unmistakably a Linton, only more spacious, more confident, and more revealing.

Greater scale. Greater resolution.

The Super Linton refines the familiar three-way formula with a larger low-frequency driver, improved midrange integration, and a more capable high-frequency driver. Together, these advances deliver deeper, more controlled bass, increased transparency, and a greater sense of ease when music becomes complex or demanding.

Images occupy more convincing physical space, dynamic contrasts arrive with less effort, and large-scale recordings unfold with a composure that remains engaging rather than overwhelming.

Effortless in every system.

Like the Linton, the Super Linton rewards thoughtful system building without demanding it. Its balanced presentation complements a wide range of electronics, from richly textured tube amplifiers to contemporary solid-state designs, preserving tonal density and musical flow while revealing the strengths of higher-resolution sources.

That versatility allows the Super Linton to feel equally convincing with intimate vocal recordings, small jazz ensembles, energetic rock, and full orchestral works. Whatever the genre, its defining quality is an ability to present music with both authority and ease.

Inspired by the engineering behind Wharfedale’s flagship Dovedale, the Super Linton preserves everything that makes the Linton so enduring while opening the door to a deeper level of musical realism. It is a speaker that feels immediately familiar, yet continues to reveal more as the rest of the system evolves.
