I've only got a few hours on them so I'm going to hold on my final comparison and impression for now, that being said, I also want to be transparent in the comparison, my ZU's have the Druid IV drivers, not the typical DW drivers.
My comment came about because, again, out of the box, they sound pretty good and I really don't think this is going to be a "better" than comparison, it's gonna be a preference, synergy, thing if that makes sense. Just initial thoughts 3-4 hours in
Good. So they're just "meh." Perfect. ...crosses off list...I've only got a few hours on them so I'm going to hold on my final comparison and impression for now, that being said, I also want to be transparent in the comparison, my ZU's have the Druid IV drivers, not the typical DW drivers.

Linton owners, something that I have not seen in reviews, how is the listening sweet spot on them ?

The Lintons are designed to be towed in. Assuming this, they’ve got excellent center fill and a wide sweet spot- from speaker to speaker. They really excel at front/rear soundstage.
Yeah I agree with this!

Stupid question: Is it “towed” or “toed”?

Man these are pretty. Would the NAD C326 even be able to drive these though? I know I should upgrade my turntable and cart first, but hot damn.

Jazz listeners, how does jazz play on the Linton's ? Particularly interested in Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue for reference.
Yes, you can run the Wharfedales with any amp from 25-200 watts per channel. They are 90 dB efficient, so above average.
I don’t have that album, but do have the Stan Getz box set. It sounds amazing. So does Jazz at The Pawnshop.
How far off the walls? Asking for a friend...
About 2 feet at the closest.
