We call this the TED Talks post...
...because we're presenting a line-up of speakers you absolutely must listen to (and hopefully taking no more than 18 minutes of your time). There's a new range from Fyne Audio, a discontinued range from Focal, and a bestseller some of you may not know, and might even be surprised to hear is an absolute customer favorite.
Fyne Audio's New Range
When you see SP (Special Production) on a Fyne Audio speaker model it's like seeing "Reserve" or "Extra Añejo" on your favorite bottle of life enhancement. SP models come with Fyne's expensive and time-consuming upgrades, such as a full-cryo crossover or advanced cabinet design with BassTrax. With the new Vintage Classic Gold SP range, Fyne seeks to bridge the gap between the vintage aesthetic of the Classic Series and the cutting-edge performance of the Vintage Series. If you like the idea of dropping electric motors and high-end suspension into a classic Mini, you're going to love the Classic Gold.
Time to Go Vestia
We have the last of our Focal Vestia speakers priced to go. With just one center left in Dark Wood, this is your last chance to build a phenomenal home theater setup with either four of the No1 standmounts, or a combination of bigger pair up front and a lower model for the rears. If you're setting up a stereo system, you have more time to decide which model is perfect, and can pick finishes from Black High Gloss, Dark Wood, and Light Wood.
The latter offers one of the most beautiful color combinations in audio, with the bluish almost soapstone Slatefiber cone proudly highlighted on a white background. Sitting in a driver that's specially designed and manufactured for each model, the Slatefiber cone is made from non-woven recycled carbon fiber and thermoplastic polymer. It's a combination that Focal says delivers excellent acoustic performance in terms of sound velocity, rigidity and damping.
The Surprise Bestseller
Nobody who has heard the Wharfedale Linton or Super Linton would be surprised it's a bestseller, but if you haven't, you'd be forgiven for not expecting the $1,500 a pair Linton, and $2,500 a pair Super Linton to be forming a steady stream of boxes out of our warehouse every month.
Not just customers, our Linton demo pair was long ago co-opted by the occupants of the first office on the right as you enter our store, and they refuse to give it up.
Whether you buy the super or the regular, you get a lot of speaker for the money: a three-way standmount in one of three beautiful wood finishes, and for just $300 more you get a nifty matched stand that'll hold your current vinyl playlist.
The Super Linton is a little bigger than the regular Linton and has an upgraded bass driver among other improvements, bringing tighter bass but keeping all of the sonic weight—especially midrange richness—of the three-way design. Choose from Walnut, Black Oak, and Red Mahogany.
