Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary Speaker Review

[Musicofchance]

I take it neither the owner nor Amir have seen the measurements of the Linton? Yes there is still a directivity error but the response becomes significantly more linear.

Big shame about this oversight and likely an unfair assessment of this speaker

Plus they look bloomin handsome with them on too

My standard reference clips simply didn't sound enjoyable

I suspect it's because of the dominance of the 3rd harmonic below 100Hz. It might create a forest of intermodulation products in the mid-high region, so the EQ did not help with the brightness. It seems like Revels have a 2nd harmonic dominating at low frequencies, they should sound warmer.
