LEAK STEREO 130 Integrated Amp & Linton Speakers, Walnut Hi-Fi Package

Linton Legacy

The original Linton model was well known the world over for the rich and natural sound quality it could provide, surpassing the performance of speakers at similar price points at the time. The new model retains the qualities and ethos but expands on it using proprietary technologies that only come with over 85 years of experience and delivers you impactful bass, clear midrange and expansive scale that breaths new life into your favourite music and movie soundtracks.

Large Driver

Woven Kevlar Cone Mounted on a rigid die-cast chassis, the woven Kevlar cone provides strong performance producing beautifully rich and detailed mid-range and bass frequencies. A 135mm midrange driver sits above this and supports a woven Kevlar cone housed within its internal enclosure. The composite Kevlar produced by Wharfedale is the ideal speaker material thanks to its lightweight rigidity that can effectively and rapidly reproduce natural sound free of colouration and distortion.

High Flux Ferrite Magnet

The high frequencies are produced by a woven textile soft-dome treble unit with a high flux ferrite magnet. This assures smooth, detailed high frequencies with dispersion that fills your room with rich, warm and characterful audio.

High-Quality Crossover

A natural and coherent musical output is assured thanks to rigorous research into the crossover and 85 years of loudspeaker design know-how. Near inaudible crossover is seamless, enabling you to enjoy sound that is placed exactly where it needs to be with open and detailed character.

Optional matching stands

The Linton's feature a classic style that has become timeless, ensuring fantastic aesthetics in any environment they are placed in. Each model in the range sports an optional custom-made matching stand. This will place the speaker at the optimal listening height for a vastly improved sound stage. The rigid metal frame negates all unwanted vibrations and resonances with added space below for storage of vinyl and other Hi-Fi accessories.

Turntable Ready

Traditional audiophiles will recognise the assured quality in the high quality, low noise turntable input of the LEAK STEREO 130. Optimised for moving magnet cartridges, the JFET based circuit offers precise RIAA equalisation in accordance with de facto industry standards for vinyl playback.

Direct and Tone Control

The LEAK STEREO 130 incorporates LEAK's signature DIRECT switch to bypass steps in the analogue circuitry, for the purest signal path. In addition, the signature BASS and TREBLE tone controls allow for customisation of the amplifier output signal to suit your music medium and matched electronics or loudspeakers.

Conversion Without Compromise

Utilising the acclaimed ES9018 Sabre32 Reference chip with ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the LEAK STEREO 130 offers ultra-low noise, high dynamic range of digital audio files with a sampling rate of up to 384kHz (PCM) and DSD256.

Headphone Users

The LEAK STEREO 130 uses a dedicated amplifier circuit with current-feedback technology for the headphone's output. Equal in performance to standalone headphone amplifiers, beyond the price class of this complete system, the design offers high-speed output signal transition thanks to a high slew rate. The result is a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types.

Music Enthusiast as its Heart

The LEAK STEREO 130's all-round performance is engaging, detailed and refined. Detail, timing and dynamics excel, regardless of source or medium. Designed for the modern-day music enthusiast with a nod to our heritage, the LEAK STEREO 130 does not discriminate when it comes to expression and enjoyment of your music reproduction.
