This is a true 3-way standmount built around an 8 inch woven Kevlar bass driver, a dedicated 5 inch Kevlar midrange, and a 1 inch soft dome tweeter borrowed from the flagship Dovedale. The result is deeper bass, more detailed treble, and a finely tuned midrange that stays natural and engaging across every genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWharfedale engineers rebuilt the cabinet with a dual-layer MDF structure and latex-based damping glue to reduce resonance. Standing taller than the original Linton, the added internal volume delivers greater low-frequency impact, with usable bass extension down to 32Hz. A more powerful motor system on the bass driver and a dedicated cylindrical midrange chamber keep the presentation controlled and coherent even at higher volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold as a pair, the Super Linton is available in Walnut, Mahogany, and Black Oak, with optional matching stands.
