Im currently building a hifi system and looking to pick up some passive speakers, anyone have any they're looking to shift, ideally looking for something built in the last 20 years or so

Ha, been meaning to get around to posting about these. Got some Wharfdale Linton 3XP that I've been tripping over. However, they're definitely older then 20 years!!
Bit scruffy round the corners, but might polish up.

Hey Sam could be keen, how much were you looking for them?

Just thought, I'd better plug them in and test them.. will try and remember tonight.

Probably made in Bradford in the late 1970s. Good, warm-sounding speakers: John Martyn rather than Dubstep. It's possible the rubber surrounds of the bass drivers have perished but if you have a listen at reasonable volumes it should be evident if something is up. /antiques roadshow

Luckily I only plan to listen to my John Frusciante vinyls so shan't be smashing them with too much bass :lol: good knowledge though, if they're perished im sure i could find a replacement driver somewhere out there

I have some 70s Wharfedale Lintons that I still use all day every day and sound incredible still!

Stop it... you'll make me want to keep them!! :lol:
(Wish I lived in a massive detached house in the middle of a field so I could blast music like I used to as a teenager!!)

Sorry - forgot to test these last night..
I'll nip home for lunch and test them then. 8)
