Ouch, more power to the new Epos....
Another pair with BBCesque look. It's becoming a habit, Wharfedale, Mission.... who owns them? That explains quite a bit.
I think the success of the Linton speaker has perhaps gone to their head a little.....?
They obviously using the tooling and technology. But speakers the of Dovedale and Linton will have a fairly limited UK audience, as many, like yours truly, want something more compact (more affordable). IMO 4-5k for a pair of speakers is way outside a lot of UK pockets.
I would imagine they will go down well in Japan.....
Peter Comeau talks about the Lintons in the YouTube link saying that they are like Lintons on steroids and a 3 way in the Lintons' vein. The Lintons with stands are £1250. These Dovedales look similar too so should be about £1750 (£2000 tops) if they are directly comparable but the next one up.
The Teesdale slotted above the Glendale and I owned a pair bought new in 1979.
Might be. To me the current line makes quite sense. When they describe an additional speaker basically as a better Linton, why not replacing the Linton altogether . Or would they perhaps make a transition?
Never heard of the Teesdale, so I did a search and came up with Wharfedales next retro resurrection...
Would love to have heard those...interesting design! I wonder if separate volume controls for mid and treble drivers will reappear.......🤔
Those weren't the Teesdale I owned. If I elaborate the model was Teesdale SP2.
So that's £750 or so for the actual pair of 700 speakers and stands and £1140 for the Made In England sticker.
Interesting, though it already looks worn out and second hand in the folder. With a modern day approach it would be more presentable at least.
