Best Praise

“I recently got Lintons too, and it took me a week or two to find the right placement in my space. I'm talking SMALL tweaks - an inch one way and then listening awhile, another inch and then listening awhile.... etc. Eventually they moved farther apart and farther away from the rear wall and this did the trick. I also invested in an nicer turntable with a good cartridge. Pretty happy now!”

“I wasn't impressed with the Lintons. Too forward. Even two way ADS or vintage KLH beat it for me. I'd consider a KEF 104/2 or ADS 810 an upgrade.”
