You got the open box ones right? Are the like most other MD open boxes and look pretty much brand new?
Yeah. They are cosmetically flawless so I think someone just had buyer's remorse maybe? The only thing I noticed is the R speaker was in the L box and vice versa, and the little rubber thingies were already attached to the stands. No biggie. They came with plenty of extra rubber things and 3 sets of white gloves.

Man...I love buying MD open box haha. I've done it a few times. My Wharfedale Dentons looked brand new. I'd never know that they were pre-owned.
They were trying to charge shipping for the freight cost since they were open but I easily talked them out of it.

I thought they offer free freight ?
The do on new. Technically not on some open box stuff which defeats the purpose. They didn’t charge me. I just had to email. You can call as well.
We had a different term for “buyers remorse” when I was in the biz- we called it “buyer’s divorce”. In other words, the buyer’s partner said no.

With not having a option to locally demo the Linton's here are few youtube demo's (yes I know determining audio quality from video is hard) that have helped me realize if they would work for some of the styles I listen to. I thought they may help some others.

Hi, the Wharfedale Linton 85 just unpacked and listened to. Let's see how it sounds after 50 hours burn in, whether the testers are right in my opinion and w...

I don’t know what all the hype is about. They don’t sound any better than my computer speakers. Huh.
Not even a fair fight vs the B&W...
The Lintons sound way better at home than these on my phone.

I have yet to see any panels that would pass muster in our home.

The Lintons certainly sound like a lot more fun by comparison alone.
Yeah absolutely, I can’t listen to that kind of music for too long but it’s clear that they are more composed and dig a lot deeper. They said, small bookshelf v big deep standmount you’d kinda expect that with the bass.

I really want to pick these up. Trying to hold off, but... How long do these continue to sell for? Is it something that won't be around in a month or two, or do they have a year or two? How does this all work? What is that beautiful house? My God, what have I done?
