Thanks for making my feel like shit about the Lintons.

This might be a better performing speaker than Linton but as others suggested the difference does not warrant 4x price hike. Peter always does this sort of speak, when Linton’s were released they were “unmatched, with technologies and sophistications way beyond its competition”, only to be talked down by Peter against the Dovedale which is the again the new king of the castle at this very moment and at the time being I’d bet both the tweeter and the midrange drivers are pretty much the same, with a little bigger chamber at the back. Made in UK only goes so far, Lintons which are made in China set the new standard in quality speaker build years ago.

I would have to agree!

Exactly, both are kevlar and the tweeter is almost the same! only a bit of absorption at the back, they say. Criminally overpriced. I put better damping to the Linton and better components to the crossover and you have quasiment the Dovedale.

At four times the price I'll settle on the Lintons for now. Also I suspect that the price will come down in time for the Dovetails.

Can you confirm or deny if the treble and midrange are the same units as the Linton. ? There are several who claim this and there is simply a larger back chamber behind units at Dovedale.

-can you also explain the difference between Wharfedale Dovedale vs INFINITY . Is it the IRS Epsilon or Sigma you have? Do I remember correctly if one of these has a 12" woofer which is servo controlled?

Nice speaker but not at 4x the price.. they should have make it where the Linton was made. then it would only cost 50-65% more than the Linton & sell like Hotcakes !! :)

At first I thought my speakers had shut off. I had to crank it way up just to hear you, then turn it down when you cut in the clip. I then just settled for closed captioning. When the next video came on, I nearly pissed myself. My poor dog just up and left the room. With owning a pair of the Lintons for a few years now, I am very intrigued to hear any comparisons to the Dovedale. If it can actually dig into the 20's, midrange stay right with the Lintons, and produce a little more sibilance then it may be worth looking into...during a sale, of course. That price seems unnecessary.

I agree. As this person learns to do KZfaq videos, he should monitor his sound levels before posting.

They should make a speaker that sits in between these 2 seems like a big jump from lintons to dovedale

@JanPatrickLucas Жыл бұрын

...and substantially more expensive! With all of the wonderful things this speaker may be, it's lost before it started with me, due to the price. The Linton is awesome for it's price. I don't doubt the Dovedale is better, but enough to justify that kind of cost?....I think Wharfedale is being greedy...good luck. The sales will determine that ultimately, but I suspect they will be discounted sooner than they anticipated.
