Hello Mike. I've watched this video
A few time. It's like playing an album I keep hearing things I didn't hear before LOL. After doing your crossover suggestion , this linton's really sound nice. But I know they don't have 200 hours on them yet.
Breaking in a new turntable and a cartridge and a turntable cable. Getting anxious over herelol.
Thanks for the informative video I'm so glad I changed your crossover suggestions. That made them come to life.
Hi, nice, have fun. Maybe soon new QVinylMat for turntables stay tuned....cheers Mike
Thanks, I bought the speakers, they sound fantastic!!!!
How long did you burn them in for?
@@robertomurphy7407 I just bought it!
@@rockroll4553 Ok, thanks
Hi, nice...do the tuning...you will be surprised...cheers Mike
@@headquarteraudio5388 I am very happy to have bought it!I sold the Focal Aria but I didn't regret it!
A belated Merry Christmas Mike. I will look forward to the next video..
Its out :) Best for you and your family in 2021!!! Cheers Mike
Love your honesty.
Hi and many thanks cheers Mike
I have my Lintons paired with a Yamaha a s1200, for me they already opened up after a few hours. my tweak is to Ieave the grills off😊
Hi, yes with grills its much more precise, better soundstage and imaging...i did the tweak this night, will show it soooon...wooowww beasts :) Cheers Mike
I have the lintons paired with yamaha as 1200 and I am very happy with the sound they give
hallo i thinking to buy the lintons have already the yamaha a-s1200 what do youi think is this a good match ?
@@klaaskoolhof6612 It is the best value for money option today, I have looked a lot before buying them because I save money hard (I do not say it because I have them and I mean by this that my equipment is the best, if not because of the sound they give and the price) try to listen to them before you buy
@@sevraj2008 thanx for the reply , gr klaas
Complimenti Mike !!
Possiedo delle proac d15, pensi che possano essere sostituite dalle Linton ?
Grazie
Ciao, se fossi in te, rimuoverei prima il crossover e sostituirei il condensatore ad alta frequenza o almeno installerei uno shunt di altissima qualità sul condensatore ad alta frequenza e sul condensatore a frequenza medio-bassa di 0,1 uF, quindi lo farai conoscere davvero il tuo ProAc. Mi piacciono gli altoparlanti ProAc, non penso che i Linton siano quello che stai cercando... occupati di Open Baffle 😀 Cheers Mike
Thanks again Mike . 👍
You are welcome, it was a long night, i modded the Lintons with first stage Tweeter..wooowww, so cool...cheers Mike
@@headquarteraudio5388 What does that mean? forgive me for my lack of understanding!
@@xsamitt hi, please watch my other videos...Linton tweaks...cheers Mike
Hi Mike, do you experience any cabinet resonance with the Lintons? Any additional wooliness to the upper bass frequencies?
Hi, sure, they are not dead silence, but all in all very good made...i think it is the electrolytic cap in the midrange--- cheers Mike
wegen den mitten kontrolliere bei deinen lintons mal ob die kammer für den mitteltöner komplett luftdicht ist. bassports mit styropor oder ähnlichem luftdicht machen und vorsichtig den tieftöner reinbewegen mit der hand. dabei gucken ob der mitteltöner sich mit bewegt. bei mir waren bei beiden seiten die kammern nicht luftdicht, nachdem ich sie mit kleber innen luftdicht gemacht habe ist das im mittenbereich nochmal ein unterschied gewesen, zum besseren hin ^^
Hi, bei mir war alles Dicht, ich meine bei den Lautsprechern... :) Cheers Mike
@@headquarteraudio5388 hehe okay denn ist ja gut, super =)
Hallo Mike,
wie denkst du über Bitumenmatten innerhalb der Box ?
Grüße, Gerhard
Hallo, für mich ein no go...cheers Mike
Hi, in the picture that you show the Mundorf Capacitor I cannot see the
Mundorf resistor, did you replaced? I found a Mundorf MResist MOX 10W 2%
Resistors and Mundorf MCap 800 VDC SUPREME EVO Silver Gold Oil Cap
Capacitor 6.8 uf mfd, that's OK these ones?
Hi, please read the comment, you will find all answers. Cheers Mike
Danke, Tolles Video. Ich finde die Linton's für den Preis auch echt unschlagbar.
Die sind momentan meine Favoriten, vor allem da ich als Student nicht so viel Geld übrig habe aber trotzdem in den Bereich Hi-Fi einsteigen möchte. 😁
LG aus Bayern
Hi, das sind Lautsprecher, an die denkt man dann später zurück..die gute alte Studentenzeit...niemals weggeben, ehr in der Familie weiterreichen :), dazu passt ein gebrauchter Cyrus 3i o.ä. viele Grüße Mike
ja für den preis sind die klanglich echt top. leider war mein paar von der verarbeitung wohl montagsmodelle und musste die komplett auseinander bauen und ausbessern. jetzt hören sie sich aber nochmal besser an =)
@@svens6262 Ja, das kann leider immer mal passieren. Steckt man halt nicht drin. Was hast du denn alles zusätzlich verbessert wenn ich fragen darf ? :)
@@SB-pc8iu ja das stimmt für 1000€ darf man auch nicht zu viel erwarten bei den feinheiten ^^ sind ja trotzdem top lautsprecher.
beim mitteltöner die kammer lufticht gemacht, jetzt wo sie dicht ist sind die mitten besser geworden. die stecker am kabel für die lautsprecher innen abgeknipst und direkt rangelötet. auch das eingangs kabel zu frequenzweiche direkt angelötet. die schraublöcher für die lautsprecher mit kleber innen behandelt, weil das mdf sehr weich ist lassen sich die chassis sonst nicht ordentlich fest ziehen. hochtöner die 3 schrauben fest gezogen die den magneten am hochtöner chassi halten, spielt jetzt sauberer würde ich sagen mit weniger resonanzen.
@@svens6262 Du hast also die Schraubenlöcher mit Kleber behandelt damit die Schrauben beim reindrehen mehr "Gripp" bekommen und du sie fester ziehen kannst ? Clever :D
Der Hochtöner hat ja so eine kleine Abdeckplatte. Ich denke mal da drunter befinden sich dann die Schrauben für selbigen. Kann man die Platte einfach entfernen? Wie hast du die runter bekommen? LG
Hello, how is Linton's imaging ? Are they good for rock/metal music?
Hi, imaging is very good, and yes rock and metal will work...use my tuning and it will be more open and uncompressed... cheers Mike
My Wharfedale Diamond towers sound terrible and should retail at $50 instead of $700 or $800. They were $75 used and I got ripped off. I would never buy a Wharfedale again. My Marantz SP1515s are 10 years older and destroys them as do my Mirage OM-9s.
Hi, slow down my dear, it always takes 2 to be ripped off. Wharfdale wasn't one of them, I think paying only $75 would have made me suspicious. Have you ever had a look to see if someone who had no idea tinkered with them? Sounds like it...we're talking about the Lintons here, also I don't recommend buying the Elysium, way too expensive and not really better than the Lintons with my tuning cheers Mike
Would love see you do Canton speaker , German made too .
Yes, if they send me one...or better two :) cheers Mike
You a quite clear that these speakers require power . Do think the Nail atom is powerful enough to drive them ?
Hi, sorry i dont know the Naim, but i dont like all in one devices..they can do everything, but nothing right and they also disturb each other :). I would recommend more power, see Kinki Studio EX M1 Cheers Mike
Hi i plan to buy the Linton , I have accuphase E211 amp, also, i had Harbeth P3ESR but i not liked the bass of it, i consider linton or ls50 what you suggest?
Hi, i'm not a fan of the sound signature of the kefs. Specially in bass, so for me you have to go with the Lintons. But do the tweak :) Cheers Mike
What about connecting tweeters to this speaker?
Does sound have more detailed? What do you think?
Hi,.please watch my tuing video about the Lintons. Cheers Mike
How much does it cost to get you to do the tweak to the crossover?
Hi, please search for a local specialist, its easy to do for him...transport is too much... many thanks, Mike
@@headquarteraudio5388 what if I just send you the crossover without the cabinet and speakers?
Hi, it certainly sounds like you don't enjoy these speakers because you keep mentioning detail missing and he highs. If so, you may want to consider a more analytic sounding speaker , albeit with less bass, like the KEF LS 50s or even Klipsch horn loaded.
Hi, i dont like analytic and i dont like less bass :) I like the lintons with my tweak ( see videos ) and some other linton fans too :) Cheers Mike
What tubes you used with the schiit freya plus ?
Hi, PSVane T Series Mark II and Tungsol 6 SN GTB Cheers Mike
Can Unity Atom handle Lintons well? how about low volumes?
Hi, I've found that the Lintons need a lot of power and control to sound relaxed, so I recommend something other than the Atom. But it can also sound good, very difficult to judge without a test and only on paper .. cheers Mike
@@headquarteraudio5388 my worries to, thank you,
I have used the Atom with the Lintons. Rich sound. However, more power will greatly improve bass control and depth. If you stay with Naim, I would suggest getting the Nova (although too expensive in my point of view). I have used the Cambridge 840W and the Yamaha M-5000 both of which sound great with the Lintons.
Linton 85 or qacustic 3050i ?
or better Linton with my tuning? big question...
I think they sound like sh** and am not impressed at all. I'm hoping that they just need broke in, but I doubt it. The tweeters crackle when pushed (to me is about half volume of what they should do) They don't have bass, you don't feel these speakers. I'm just wondering what the hell people see in these. There not that good. I have a couple good 6.8 caps coming but I don't think that will fix the distortion in the tweeters so, hell I don't know.
Read discription :) or read comments :) cheers Mike
@@headquarteraudio5388 I'm thinking sell them, I don't think reading a description will make these worth what I paid for them.
@@ranbymonkeys2384 Man watch my other Linton videos, we all herad that...sometimes a speaker shows whats wrong in the chain...cheers M
@@headquarteraudio5388 I have I guess I just don't have the decoder ring that everybody else got. It's not very clear what has been done and the comment section keeps the answers pretty locked up too.
Is there heavy metal?
Hi, speaker is made of wood and has a beautiful veneer :) :) Cheers Mike
13:10 "what's that?"
"That's a pair of speakers"
"No behind the speakers keeping the floor and ceiling apart"
".... that's a pair of speakers"
Hi, please be precise, they are open baffle speakers, you can hide behind them :) Cheers Mike
@@headquarteraudio5388 nice :)
Open baffle speakers one can hide behind. That sounds both intriguing and fun ✌️
The name of the song and artist?
ty
Discription :) ? TH-cam needs some time....cheers Mike

Maybe say 'please'?
