Wharfedale Super Linton: A Timeless Upgrade for Music Lovers
Wharfedale has a storied history in the world of high-fidelity audio, and their latest release, the Super Linton, raises the bar even further. Originally launched in 2019, the Linton has been a beloved choice for audiophiles around the world, merging retro aesthetics with modern sound. Now, in 2024, Wharfedale reintroduces this classic with upgrades that enhance everything from the cabinet design to the drivers, creating a premium listening experience with the all-new Super Linton.
Wharfedale’s Super Linton retains the vintage charm that has always defined the Linton series, but with innovations designed to meet modern audio demands. Here’s an in-depth look at what sets the Super Linton apart:
Wharfedale’s Super Linton is a nod to the brand’s iconic heritage, taking inspiration from its 1960s roots with a beautifully crafted, vintage-inspired cabinet available in walnut, mahogany, or black oak. Hand-matched wood veneers and satin finishes give these speakers an elegance suited for any home.
The included stands are designed specifically for the Linton series, providing optimal positioning for sound quality and reducing unwanted vibrations. For vinyl lovers, the stand even has space for storing records—a thoughtful detail that underscores Wharfedale’s commitment to both functionality and design.
The Super Linton is built with today’s audiophiles in mind. With its high sensitivity of 90dB, it performs well with both powerful and modestly rated amps, handling power outputs from 25W to 200W per channel. Its nominal 6-ohm impedance means compatibility with a wide range of audio systems, making it an excellent choice for those who want a versatile, high-performance speaker.
For decades, Wharfedale has been at the forefront of loudspeaker innovation, always staying true to their mission of delivering a realistic and emotionally resonant sound experience. According to Peter Comeau, Wharfedale’s Director of Acoustic Design, the goal for the Super Linton was to amplify the musicality and warmth that audiophiles love in the original Linton. “There is authenticity in its design and joy in its performance,” says Comeau, underscoring the appeal of re-engineering classic hi-fi for the modern listener.
The Super Linton speakers, available in walnut, mahogany, and black oak finishes, will be available November 2024. Prices are as follows:
With the Super Linton, Wharfedale has successfully reimagined a classic, giving it a new life with top-of-the-line upgrades while preserving the essence that has always made the Linton so special. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Wharfedale or new to the world of high-fidelity audio, the Super Linton offers a remarkable blend of nostalgia and modern audio excellence—an investment for music lovers who want to experience their favorite albums with depth, clarity, and passion.

Ortofon’s MC X Series represents a new wave in high-fidelity vinyl playback. Building on the solid foundation of the Quintet range, this series introduces a more refined, high-performance line of moving coil (MC) cartridges—all designed and assembled in Denmark.
While the models share core design elements—such as a honeycomb stainless-steel body, silver-plated pure copper coils, and a refined magnet system—the key differences lie in stylus shape, cantilever material, and sonic character. These factors have a profound effect on how the cartridge interacts with the grooves and conveys the music.
Let’s break down the differences between the MC X10, X20, X30, and X40 to help you choose the model that suits your setup and listening preferences.
