For whom? (And specs)

Who’s this Wharfedale Linton Heritage for? That’s easy: for those who love retro. Or vintage… whatever you want to call it. The whole set-up with the accompanying stands is of course great. It just looks cool.
Add a nice Audiolab system and you have a beautiful set that plays great for around 3000 euros (with cables).

Hello,
Is imaging below average or it is weak compared to the best?
Does the drawing improve with stronger column twisting? I read on stereophile that the speakers must be tightly twisted inside for the best/correct stereo reproduction. Did You try it ?
Hi Nugard,
Yes, we tried a very ‘tight’ toe-in. It works, but you lose a lot of ‘space’ in the sound. Imagin is just below average. It’s not really bad or rock bottom…
Hi once again 🙂
Whether imaging is similar to other wide boxes ? I mean old wide boxes ? Harbeth Spendor, Rogers… I think these speakers wasn’t the best with precise imaging too. But they sound very nautral because of that too.
I have no clue to be honest. Didn’t test those!
