This System includes Wharfedale Super Linton C/W Linton Stands and Arcam Radia A25 + (Plus) (Open Box) with QED XT25 3m Stereo Pair pre-Terminated premium cables.
Following on from a best-selling award-winner, the Wharfedale Super Linton speakers take heritage style to new heights.
Linton made Super
The original Wharfedale Linton speaker was not only highly reviewed but also the company’s best seller. With the Super Linton, Wharfedale has taken all that’s great about the original, including its heritage style and easy-to-drive characteristics and made it better. A new cabinet, crossover and tweeter enhance every aspect of the sound, while a revised bass woofer helps deliver an even deeper bass response.
Larger cabinet and improved bass
With the same footprint but a slightly taller height, the new cabinets offer increased internal volume. Combined with the bass woofer’s more powerful motor, this gives the Super Lintons a deeper and more dynamic bass response. The cabinet also uses Wharfedale’s dual layer cabinet construction, reducing panel resonance for a more natural and less distorted sound.
All-new tweeter for crisper treble response
The Super Linton’s new high-frequency unit inherits much of its design from Wharfedale’s flagship Dovedale speakers. The new soft dome unit features a special damping chamber for smoother sound and less harmonic distortion. The revised tweeter mounting plate enhances the dispersion for an even more spacious and immersive sound.
New internal electronics
As well as improving what you can see, Wharfedale has also improved what you can’t. Inside each speaker is a completely new crossover design that’s now split into two separate boards. This eradiates the possibility of electromagnetic interference from the bass affecting the sensitive higher frequencies, helping promote a cleaner top-end response. Top-tier components are used throughout, as is LCOFC (Linear Crystal Oxygen Free Copper) cabling for optimal signal transfer.
Works seamlessly with a wide range of hi-fi
Just as with the originals, the Wharfedale Super Linton speakers are highly efficient, making them easy to drive. The 90dB sensitivity means that even amps with around 20 watts or more can power the Super Linton speakers to room-filling levels. This means that you can effectively use the speakers with premium quality mini systems, as well as lower powered hi-fi amps.
Classic style
Taller and wider than contemporary standmount speakers, the Super Lintons have a unique presence. That ‘big box’ style is successfully offset by the real wood finishes and revised grille material, making them less intrusive in your room than you might expect. The bigger, boxier design also means deep, effortless bass.
Choice of luxury finishes
Available in a choice of black oak, walnut or mahogany real wood veneers, these speakers are finished to the highest standards and blend effortlessly with high quality furniture. The optional speaker stands are also finished to match, giving harmonious style.

The perfect match for Linton speakers
With four columns, these stands offer the matching Linton speakers the best possible support. They also match the base dimensions, giving a neat and harmonious fit. As well as offering a secure base, the stands also lift the speakers to the ideal height, meaning you get the most detailed and life-like sound.
Ideal for vintage speakers
Although these stands are made to match the Linton speakers, they also make a great match for many vintage speakers. The low profile and wide top plate make them perfect for many vintage speakers that are typically wider and taller than modern standmount speakers are.
Built-in record storage
A sturdy base makes the perfect platform for record storage. With four-column support, the records are kept securely within the stands.
Choice of finish
Available in walnut or mahogany, the real wood veneer top and base plates perfectly match the speakers’ finishes.

Terminated 3m lengths – ready to go
At 3 metres each, these terminated cables are ideal for medium-sized rooms and are the ideal length for many systems. With the plugs already fitted, simply plug in and go.
Airloc Forte plugs for the best quality termination
QED’s Airloc cold weld system ensures a high contact, long-lasting join between the plugs and cable. This not only gives the best sound possible but also excellent durability, with no chance of a dry solder break or lose connection screw. The Forte plugs use a spring loaded connection pin for a tight connection with all 4mm speaker terminals.
X-tube technology – as used in the award-winning XT40
Conventional cables can fail to conduct high frequencies uniformly across the entire conductor area. QED's X-Tube cable technology allows a near-linear signal transfer at treble frequencies for greater detail and realism of sound - especially at higher frequencies.
Pure copper for a detailed sound
Using 99.999% oxygen-free copper cable, there's very low resistance, which makes it easier for your amplifier to drive your speaker as well as delivering a purer sound. It also makes the cable suitable for longer cable runs, with far less quality loss over longer lengths.
Connect up with QED’s Airlock plugs and enjoy one of the best-sounding speaker cables in its class.
