I love the look of the Lintons, especially with their stands. I don’t know if they sound similar to the originals but I love the sound of some older speakers. I got a pair of Wharfedale 505.2s to fix up for old times sake. They have a silken warmth that’s very nostalgic and comforting. Takes me back. My aim is to group them with my A&R T21 tuner and an A60 amp when I can afford to get hold of one. My wife doesn’t understand it. Maybe by the time I’m in my 70s, god willing, I’ll be sitting with that set up. Like going full circle.
I'd hardly say there is anything old fashioned about the 505.2's... even if they are 30 years old... The tech hasn't got much higher in that 30 years.
