Wharfedale Heritage Series
Super Linton
Heritage icon, elevated.
The Super Linton builds on the legendary Linton name with a full 3-way design — 8-inch woven Kevlar woofer, 5-inch Kevlar midrange in its own cylindrical chamber, and a 25 mm fabric-dome tweeter borrowed from the flagship Dovedale. Its sandwich-construction cabinet is 4 cm taller than the original Linton for increased internal volume, delivering 90 dB sensitivity and bass extension to 32 Hz. With walnut, mahogany, and black finishes, it captures the soul of 1960s British hi-fi with modern performance.

Technologies Inside
Woven Kevlar Drivers
Heritage-grade bass and midrange.
The Heritage and EVO 5 series use black woven Kevlar cone drivers — a material renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and natural damping characteristics. Kevlar's inherent stiffness ensures pistonic motion across the operating band, while its fibrous structure provides controlled internal damping that prevents ringing and colouration. Each driver is paired with a precision-wound voice coil and low-distortion motor system for detailed, dynamic bass reproduction.
Sandwich Cabinet Construction
Resonance killed at the source.
Wharfedale's multi-layer cabinet construction bonds layers of different wood products together with high-damping adhesive — typically 6 mm MDF outer walls bonded to 12 mm high-density particle board inner walls. This sandwich structure shifts panel resonances below audibility and prevents energy storage that colours the sound. The Elysian and Aura series add precision-shaped internal bracing and curved cabinet walls to further reduce standing waves and diffract sound evenly.
