The original Linton was launched in 1965 and the line continued in various versions until the late 1970s. It was a classic model of its time, considered a serious hi-fi speaker, but also relatively affordable. Its cabinet was massive, large enough to hold three driver units including a large bass unit, but not overly bulky by the standards of the time.
The new Linton has a clear family resemblance. Again, this is a three-way floor model – a rarity in modern times – with similar proportions to the classic Linton models. Its wood-veneered case has a vintage look, but the finish is decidedly modern.
The Linton takes advantage of its wide baffle by incorporating a large (by modern standards) bass driver with a 200mm Kevlar cone mounted on a rigid die-cast chassis. Above it sits a 135 mm midrange driver, also equipped with a woven Kevlar cone and housed in its own internal enclosure. Finally, a 25mm fabric dome tweeter with a high-performance ferrite magnet handles high frequencies.
The original Linton incarnations of the 1960s and 1970s were known for their rich and natural sound quality; the new model retains these characteristics but improves performance across the board. Its bass is deep and well-defined, its midrange clear and open, with free-breathing dynamics and an extended scale that brings music to life. It’s a sound you can immerse yourself in and lose yourself in as you listen to album after album; a nostalgic nod to the past brought to a future-ready level.
This is a speaker that exudes authenticity and should appeal to the dedicated music lover. In keeping with a design that is meant to be appreciated, the new Linton features handcrafted wood veneers and optional matching stands in a similarly classic style. The rigid metal frame of the stand is custom made to ensure that each speaker is the perfect height for a seated listener. It provides crucial damping of unwanted vibrations and is decorated with wood veneered panels on the top and bottom, which complement the speakers. The design even provides space for record storage within the stand structure.
