My new listening space... 16d x 12w, open on the right to the rest of the house. Listening spot is 12-13ft from speakers and speakers are 7-8ft apart. Not as holographic as mid-field listening, but great sound nonetheless. Loved those Lintons... Love even more the Stirling LS3/6.
My past listening space... 12x12 with wide opening on the right and in the back. Listening spot and speakers form an equilateral triangle, about 6ft1/2 each side. Currently listening to the Wharfedale Linton Heritage! The Totem Hawks and the Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary are taking a break.
Other speakers that I have owned in this space: Klipsch RP600M, ELAC UB5, KEF LS50, Q100, Magnepan MG12, MMG, Paradigm Studio 40 v5, Vandersteen 2CE Signature, Rega RS5, PSB T5 image...
Really a big step up from the marantz pm8004 integrated I have had.
Very clear, dynamic, powerful. Great soundstage/imaging.
SVS SB-1000
12inch woofer in a sealed box, always cut at 50-60hz to complement my sets of speakers with sub-bass.
Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary
Great little bookshelf speakers, they are not monsters of details and transparency, but they are so musical and so pleasant to listen to that their shortcomings are forgetable. Uniquely voiced to sound like the 60-70s original Dentons, they are warm, laid-back, never bright, and they make old recordings sound really good. The quality of the cabinets is unbelievable for the money.
Totem Acoustic Hawk
Fantastic small-footprint full range speaker, great soundstage & imaging, dynamic, musical, I would say neutral, they sound much bigger that they look.
Yamaha BD-S677
Best bang for the buck universal player, with a DAC and analog outputs far better than my old MSB Link III.
Wharfedale Linton Heritage
3-way, big stand-mount being evaluated right now...Big sound, solid bass, warm tones, good details, great imaging and soundstage. Very likeable speaker if you like sound strong in upper bass / lower midrange. Compared to pricier speaker, they lack "air".
I really enjoyed the tour of your stereo. Nice functioning space and I'm sure it's quite musical. I've got a pair of the Dentons too, in a bar. You may enjoy some pics in the system Village Baker Madness.
