HarveyMushman have you checked monitor audio? I have a pair of BX2 bronze from a few years back paired with a maranta amp, I think they’re great. Not sure one speaker set would serve dually for music production and for listening though - depends how particular you want to get!! I was into pro tools for a few years and had a pair of active jbls at home they were really good and not expensive
Sorry to clarify the speakers for production will be a separate set. The hifi ones will just be for listening, mainly from a turntable source.

Project make a lovely little valve-driven phono stage that isn’t too expensive in the grand scheme of things (https://www.project-audio.com/en/product/tube-box-s2/) which sounds lovely if you’re listening to jazz. It brings a real warmth to the source that I never manage to replicate without valves.
Something else to consider!

This is an entry level system i believe?….

Just right @Jason1wood to say sorry to your dearest 🤭

Anyone fancy trying my Old (not really vintage) speakers still going strong guess circa 1995
I keep being asked when they are going!!
2 x mission 765i
2 x meridian a500
Recently replaced with 4 x fyne f501 as “they need to look the same at the front and back”.

I assume this is a part of “My List”! Looks awesome, though 😍
I have a 7.1 system made up of a warfdale setup for satellite and then q acoustic for the mains with a denon amp, i never get to crank it
For all my audi i have a pair of open and a pair of closed audeze headphones with a fiio amp.
Decent De1pro v1.45 - Niche Duo - Niche Zero - Decent is the best machine ever made -

Cheers all.
I haven’t really got the ideal room setup for surround and tbh probably don’t watch enough film to make it worthwhile. We’ve got a Sonos Beam which does an adequate job.
I found a couple of shops local to me that had the Wharfedale Super Linton’s and I think I’m decided. They sound fantastic, exactly the kind of character I was looking for and they look really nice in the walnut.
Not a fan of the stands they come with as part of a deal but will sort that separately.
JammyDodger that looks brilliant. I’ve been curious about tube amps but haven’t wanted to go the whole hog there so the phono state could be worth checking out.

HarveyMushman Wharfedale Super Linton’s
They look serious, interested to hear your thoughts on them
They’re sort of exactly what I was looking for which was fortunate. Last time I bought speakers (over a decade ago) I remember auditioning quite a few pairs.
They definitely have a colour to the sound and they probably wouldn’t suit all music types or tastes. A warm sound, very much suited to the type of stuff we listen to.

Hi,
I have the lintons (not the new super?) in my dining room with goldnote amplification. Wow I love these speakers - large warm sound - perfect for my jazz/soul/hiphop….
Also have the jbl classics in the front room. I admit they sound good (smaller than the lintons) but the orange waffle fronts are so retro they are great !!
Nice!
I got confused and it’s the Lintons I’ve gone for. It was the ‘Super Denton’ I was comparing them with but they’re smaller.
Great to hear you’re happy with them, I’m excited to get mine set up. Sounds like we’ve got similar music tastes. I notice you didn’t go with the stands. I can’t decide if I like the stands or not but I’m struggling to find anything nicer and they’re only £100 extra if you buy them with the speakers.
Side note, I’ve also got that Tokyo Jazz Joints book next to my hifi! Great little book!

HarveyMushman wow eagle eyes - there are updated versions of the lintons just out but they are a chunk more change.
I have the stands they are upstairs as a inpromptu pc stand in my sons room - i would have used them but not much space in the room for them.
Love the japan based jazz/bar cafes - i have a bunch of the magazines which are the same great shots of various places round Japan - i am not a huge jazz fan (least not hard bepop etc) but would love to visit some of them !
The Linton arrived this week. Absolutely blown away! Put about 20 hours listening in already and they’re exactly what I was looking for.
Big sound, decent warmth. Also the level of finish on them is fantastic.

Looking very nice !
HarveyMushman very nice indeedly, I hope you have countless hours of quality listening with them, yes they look great too
I have Kef R900, sound amazing, I hope the Lintons do too.
Given your thoughts on the Project phono stage, have you got any experience with the Project amplifiers?
I’m moving the speakers I replaced with the Lintons to my office and want a small amp to put on my desk, Project make a couple that look ideal but I’ve not used any of their products.
It’s only for digital sources.
