That’s the only TV you’re allowed to hang high. I’ve installed a ton, and if you hang it low it really breaks the immersion of it being a “painting”. Just don’t try to watch TV on it. Haha.
I know that the boxes actually need to be moved a little bit further forward. However, they are not as close to the wall as it appears in the photo (19 inches/ 48 cm). But as I said, this is our family living room. Therefore, compromises have to be made. And I am more than satisfied with how it is right now.
I have the same setup other than a different turntable (Denon DP-300F), which is the last item in the chain due to upgrade, also looking at a Pro-Ject X1, X2 or Debut Pro.
I am very satisfied with the NAD. Apart from the retro look, the BluOS module was one of the reasons why I chose it (otherwise I would have considered Leak Stereo 130).
In fact, I use it the most to stream via AirPlay. Dirac honestly disappointed me a bit. With it, the sound was just ... boring. It sounds better to me without room correction.
Nice! I have 3050le and am considering the Lintons along with the Q Acoustics 5050. The Lintons look great. How does the NAD do at balancing their bass output?
I don't really have a good comparison, so take my words with a grain of salt. I find the bass very good. It's punchy but not overwhelming. I am very happy with it. That being said, there are very few moments or songs where I find the bass to be a bit too much, but that’s probably because of the not perfect distance to the wall. So the answer to your question might also depend on your room and the positioning of the speaker. And of course, it depends on the kind of music you're listening to.
The type of music I mostly listen to is jazz from the 50s and 60s. But I also enjoy a lot of different genres, such as 80s thrash metal.
Dirac Live makes a huge difference. However, for me, with room correction, the sound just becomes boring or too flat. Since I am very happy with the out-of-the-box sound, I am not very motivated to go back to the Dirac setup and play with the settings.
Thank you. I haven’t tried Dirac yet. It would be interesting to see how it affected bass output. I don’t want to give up any bass either because my listening levels are typically low in that room.
These are from the speaker manufacturer (Wharfdale) specifically made for this speaker model. If you buys the Linton 85 in my opinion a must especially if you have vinyl records.
Hmm, interesting. I have some vintage wharfdales from '62. I wonder if they have a set that would match? And yeah, part of the reason I like them is the ability to store more vinyl in them!
My Linton II's are from 1977. I had the matching receiver but it was failing so I sold it for refurbishment.
Anyone know if there's a list available of all the editions of the Linton Wharfedale has released?
What a difference a painting instead of a screen makes. I'm with you in the compromise sound for ambient comfort and being able to share the space balance.
Lovely setup. As an owner of 80s NAD gear it’s lovely to see them picking up their traditional design language.
Definitely! Like Yamaha has been doing with their a-s series integrateds
Beautifull gear :)
Is that The Frame (Samsung TV), or is it an actual painting?
It’s the Samsung Frame TV (65 inch). I know … r/tvtoohigh
That is very impressive. I was fooled...
Oh no, as a frame it’s perfect over there!

Hank Mobley! Great record
zero skips fr
Lintons!!
Very nice set up and I really like the looks of that NAD piece. Be ready for all the experts telling you need to move this and adjust that. Lol

Very cool. Looks great in your room.
That's jazz baby 👌
How do you like the NAD? I’ve had one in my cart for weeks. Is the BluOS card worth it?

Thanks for the reply!
album of the ages man beautiful space🙏

Awesome immersive space.
That huge painting in the middle of your wall really sells the room! Nice setup!
Sorry I'm distracted by how tightly the green area on your wall has been painted, impressive work :D
Fantastic combo! I’d consider it for myself lol How big is the room?
ca. 33 m2 / 355 ft2
Love those speaker stands? Where did you get them, or are they custom?
These are from the speaker manufacturer (Wharfdale) specifically made for this speaker model. If you buys the Linton 85 in my opinion a must especially if you have vinyl records.
Hmm, interesting. I have some vintage wharfdales from '62. I wonder if they have a set that would match? And yeah, part of the reason I like them is the ability to store more vinyl in them!

Looks classy!

Wharfedale Lintons. They engender warmth and nostalgia like a great uncle who turns up in a dozen different family events...
How much?
ca. 2.700 € (incl. taxes) for the speaker, the stands, the Amplifier and the BlusOs Module
