Ya, "Hawkeye" doesn't miss a thing around here regardless of her interest in the said item/s
Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary Review
- Thread starter HiFi Guy
- Start date
True but it does make a great aesthetic backdrop that would take pretty much any other style look right when put against it. You could go for Linton-esque speakers and it’d be mid century modern and you could just go super modern and it’d also look great. Just avoid the ones that look like a badly stacked pile of electric blue boxes and that cost multiple years salary...

My fiancée just says “why is there another box in the living room??” Which is a fair point since there are a lot of separates and wires in that room now...
Tell her because the Irishman told me so. I’d be interested to see how long that lasts...

Ah now come on, NightMafher and the Irishman are kindred spirits in, errrr, spirits?

I don't think he's wrong, but again, so many variables come into play. The tubes on the Linton's sound amazing and I honestly don't have any imaging issues.
When do the orange JBL’s show up???
Right after NightMather gets ahold of the Booker's Bourbon.

Guess I’m the lucky one who married someone who buys as much and sometimes more vinyl than I do.

I've watched his channel on and off, he tends to deal more with the truly high-end. My biggest problem with a lot of the channels like this, is that they sometimes just can't bring themselves to just acknowledge something is good since it's not in the "lofty" categories they usually tread in. The truth, in my opinion, is that the Linton's have caused a buzz and he felt the needed to do something, again, in some of his comments he's not wrong, but he's also not really endorsing the Linton's completely. He seemed to have them inter-twined with mini reviews of what's feeding the Linton's than the speakers themselves.
I still contend that you need to take everything with a grain of salt, the more opinions you get from "Like minded" people the better, but like minded doesn't only fall into personal sound preferences, it also falls into "gear pools". Someone with an Orbit running the on board amp isn't going to hear the same thing I am, not that what they hear is going to be bad, it's just not going to be the same.
All I could think of was him saying this:
I like old things.
Take my wife for example.
Old.
Passed down by my brother.
Presumably passed down by his buddies.
She was all scratched up by the time she reached me.
Such a shame.
I think 60 hour work weeks are starting to get to me. And no end in sight.
