Hot Legs Summer: Wharfedale Stand Promo

Wharfdale Linton Free Speaker Stand Sale

Until September 4th, Wharfedale is offering free speaker stands with the purchase of the Linton.

See the photo; this isn't any old stand. The beautiful and functional Linton stand comes with wood shelves in a matched finish for each speaker and doubles as LP storage. These fabulous pieces of audio furniture sell for $500 on their own.

The Lintons are one of our top-selling speakers, and in 2019 Jeff Dorgay of TONE awarded them the Exceptional Value Award, writing, “We believe good hi-fi should be fun, affordable, and approachable. The Lintons tick all the boxes and then some.”

In his video on the Lintons, Steve Guttenberg of Audiophiliac fame goes on to say, “If this were a $3- or $4000 speaker, they’d be making no apologies,” so the folks at Wharfedale probably aren’t feeling defensive about a pair of Lintons at $1499 including stands either. Get in on this deal by calling us before it ends.

PrimaLuna Gets John Darko in a Bubble Bath

"If the EVO 400 has a parallel in the music world, it's 'Gaucho, because it's the aural equivalent of taking a bubble bath that's been sprinkled with glitter."

John Darko recently set up the "heaviest amp he can remember having," the PrimaLuna EVO 400 Integrated.

He was pleasantly surprised to be presented with something that was "not the cliched view of many EL34 amplifiers in that it does not sound thick or buttery. Not at all."

Darko found the EVO 400 highly resolving with "excellent dynamic prowess, especially with microdynamics" and big and punchy bass. He found this to be the case even on 85 dB speakers, his current Kaya S12 standmounts.

When John changed speakers to a model we're all familiar with, he noted, "With the Klipsch Forte IV, the PrimaLuna brought more substance to the midrange," reminding us why we love the combination so dearly.

We also liked the part where he talked about the EVO 400's "vapor-trail-like instrumental decay," being rich with tone color but not syrupy.

Darko was surprised, but we totally weren't, that the headphone output is "absolutely fantastic."

Check out the video for a non-tube-amp-audiophile take on the all-tube PrimaLuna integrated.
