Hell Yeah!
He’s got to pay the bills.
All claim the Point 8 speaker 8 inch woofer sounds the best. Every 8 inch woofer that I ever heard sounded loose bass like a 8 in subwoofer, * inch dont have the midrange sound. 8 inch dont blend with the tweeter, That big wide cabinet dont image as well. The big cabinet doesnt sound sas good as a smaller cabinet. I bet the drivers arent ther better paper drivers. I bet this isnt the best sounding 1st order crossover speakers. A speaker with ports sound best.
It has been 1 year since your last DAC tier...
@@tonym8358 really. I better get on that!
The Lintons would be my FAVS as they really remind me of what speakers looked like when I was a kid.
I just purchased the Lintons. I'm addicted to the British sound!
I love this review. The style of providing the difference between the speakers is super helpful.
yet it is thru his own ears and it will tell all and nothing. Measurement are missing and they are the only one that can make you understand real differences between speakers and your actual listening room. That should be hi-fi. ASR reviews are definitely way better and let understand how crap rp600m are, while they are praised here and there on marketing youtubers.
Thanks Randy! I loved this comparison between the Linton, a well reputed speakers and the new and the old Andrew Jones' creations . I enjoy your videos , which encouraged me in getting the Elac DBR6 as my first quality speakers ever. I find them beautiful! I will keep watching CAM while I save enough to continue with my initiation😅 in the hobby. Greetings from Spain!
Speaker shootout and telling (singing) us the songs you listened to awesome job. I've been here for the 1st subscriber and can't wait for the 200K. I'm proud of your hard work, Randy.
@robotmunkee7328 apparently you only listened to part of the video, but I appreciate your opinion.
@@richfromtang more of a comparison really. Unfortunately, I didn’t have two other pair of speakers that were 3k. The most expensive one I had was the Linton and I thought another pair of AJ speakers would be fun. Appreciate you watching
Great review. I have to say I love my Lintons. They give me sheer musical enjoyment.
Excited for what doors will open for a solid content creator like you as you hit 200K!!! Congrats!!!
Thanks for the shootout, Randy! It’s fun getting your perspective on these speakers.
Great choice of speakers to compare, thanks for the comparison. I own the Linton and they are very good all round speakers for the price.
All the very best for the 200K subscriptions. Thanks for your time and effort in sharing this comparison with us all. Great info. No Instagram, but I pester you enough here. Stay well, brother.
Glad to see the channel is still growing. Appreciate all the reviews and comparisons.
Hey Randy! Love your style and always thoroughly enjoy your videos!
Hey, Randy! Always love the comparison and review videos.
Can't wait to hear more reviews from you! Don't be afraid to expand on your content by choosing more expensive/ different kinds of equipment. Thank you for continuing to create fun and informative content.
May have to watch this again. A lot of info in this one. Appreciate the details within these loudspeakers. We have similar tastes in music so I can relate well. Have a great day. All the best.
Fun and informative as always!
Your videos really are great for those getting into the hobby. Glad to see the channel grow and hope it keeps going!
I always enjoy your reviews. Glad to see the channel growing.
Great review Randy. I really appreciate this style of comparison with the tracks and what each speaker has to offer. It is nice to hear about the differences between them, but with my hearing I don't think I could hear enough of a difference to justify the cost.
Very nice comparison, when of speakers suitable for a little (very little) room/nearfield of necessity?
Thanks!
Congrats on 200k!! Been a follower for over a year, learn a lot from your advice.
Hi Randy,
Every so often, I go back to view your first few RUclips videos. I've purchased more than a few items based on your reviews and have not been disappointed. Great to see how comfortable you are now on the tube, then when you started out. Keep p the great work.
Congrats on the subscribes! Really appreciate the insight you have provided on my road to getting into audio equipment. Thanks Randy 👍🏻
Great rundown Randy!!! All fantastic speakers!!! Have a GREAT day brother.... :) And I think everyone loves Andrew Jones. That guys a GEM.. :)
Coffee on the ABX Community today buddy :)
AJ is going to go down in history I think!
@@peterbaugh51 Totally agree!! Met him in person and he’s just the nicest guy!!
Thanks! You too!
The Lintons made me love my music even more than before listening through other speakers.
You deserve it, man! Great channel I recently discovered. Keep on with the good work! Also, great comparison here.
And... let's hope for a win!
been a fan for a year or two made some sensible hifi choices with your advise in mind. thanks a lot!!!
would love to have any of these speakers, maybe the Lintons more
Randy, I'm so happy to see your channel grow! You got me back into the hobby, and have about 40 speakers to show for it! LOL
Enjoyed this comparison, just like I enjoy all of your channel. Thanks for your push into my not so “cheap” stereo rabbit hole.
I got the Elac Debut Reference DBR62 for 349€ (Germany) in an outlet sale and drive them with a Denon PMA 600NE. Its an awesome combo, especially for that price point of the speakers.
Big fan of your channel. It's been hugely helpful in my listening journey. Was very interested to see the Mofi and how it stacked up.
Thanks!
Thanks for everything you do Randy, and congrats on 200k!
Really. My favorite chanel!! Thanks Randy
I am desperate to get my hands on a pair of the Wharfedale Linton! Never have I ever felt like I "needed" something more than I do these!
I appreciate the reviews of the higher priced items, along with the affordable end even cheap items. Thanks!
Congrats on the continued growth of your channel. I'm hoping the shoutout on Darko's video today helps you continue. Two of my three favorite audio channels!
200.000! What a ride this has been. Thanks for all your efforts! Keep it up!
Thanks for the videos, I like the sounds of daily life that filter through, it makes the video more natural.
200K! You got this! Keep up the good work!
Always like comparison content video's, good job Randy.
Congrats on 190K subscribers Randy 🎉 Great comparison review. I have the reference speakers based in your review.
Love your vids and have followed your recommendations more than once.
Thanks for all your insights and information. Helps feed my appetite for getting new stuff.
Congrats on approaching 200k!!
Glad to have been introduced into the would of audio by you :)
I think the unifi reference would be a great comparison to the source point 8s and I was always curious how the ub52s stack up against the unifi reference
The UB52 has fallen off the map for comparisons. I'd like to know how it stacks up to the Lintons!
Once again, your review helps me wade through the murky waters of stereophonic equipment. You are a light in the dark. And funny and entertaining as well.
Hey, randy, love your RUclips channel watch it all the time Keep up the good work. Keep the good sense of humor too.
I like the fact that you are adding more content by comparing more value oriented products to higher priced HiFi gear. There are points of diminishing return with hifi gear and its great that you are providing your impressions so folks can make informed buying choices. rock on....
Hi Randy, Thanks again for this review. I'm still a Happy Linton user. I think they are a bang for the buck. Now pairing it with a NAD M10v2. (The misses don't like big hifi stuff... She almost killed me when I bought the Lintons.) ;)
Had the same problem when I purchased my Focal towers 😂
Strangely my wife prefers listening to my 2nd system a Marantz PM6006 Intergrated & budget Mission QX2 Mk 2 bookshelf speakers - even though they cost a fraction of the cost of the Focal /Naim Intergrated set up !!!
UK subscriber 🇬🇧
I’m glad to see you taking the channel to new levels of affordable gear. Cheap is all relative and I agree you have to review all different levels to contrast. Keep up the great work! Fingers are crossed I can win something this time around. Congrats on the 200k!!
Thank you for the opportunity to participate, your reviews seem very specific to me, unfortunately in Mexico the prices are far from the ranges you mention but you have still helped me a lot.
Interesting review comparison. After my first speakers, the Cerwin Vega D7s, I went to the Andrew Jones Pioneer home theater bundle. Really enjoyed that setup for years until recently "upgrading" to Emotiva T1+, C1+, and the B1+.
Love the channel! I never found the Google form to fill out but it doesn't change the way I feel lol
Should be at the top of the description and pinned comment. I’ll check though. I’ve been known to leave things out
Yet another great comparison video! Onward to 200k!
Great fun, Randy. I subscribed when you had 900. I thought this guy is hilarious. You still are. Hope you blast through 200k
Glad you are comparing speakers. Very interesting. Glad for your success.
Thanks Randy. Was glad to see a comparison including the DBR62 and Linton. Have considered both, but always wonder if the Lintons are 2x of the Elac offering (the Mofis aren't in the cards at all for me).
This may be the best "speaker shoot-out" you've ever done. No kidding. Great choices for comparo speakers. Thanks! 👍🏼
Great comparisons! I'm seriously considering the Debut Reference but holding out for a sale. Unless Emotiva releases their new line of speakers soon..
Love you and your channel - been watching since the "Awkward Randy with the shaky table" days!
Brilliant comparison Randy. I have some thinking to do😊 Congrats on the milestone, later gator
Awesome review, thank you!
You are one of the most entertaining men in the business of audio reviews, if not period
ahhh.... thanks, man
Very helpful comparison. Thanks Randy!
Seems like big speakers are making a comeback. Just my thinking, but large drivers seem to have sonic abilities that just aren't replaceable by smaller drivers.
I'd love to check out the Lintons... Thanks for all the info!
Another great video Randy!
Perfect video for me. I'm upgrading to the SP8 from my ELAC Carinas.
Hey Randy ! Love speaker shootouts ,keep rocking ..
Thanks! You too!
Good info, thanks Randy!
Another informative video. Thanks!
Speaker Shootout is Baaack.
And the rabbit hole just gets deeper. Just when I got my B1+ and was aiming for the Lintons next, comes along SP8s.
Time to learn to design and build your own speakers XD
Enjoy the show. Keep ‘em coming.
I know you mentioned the 1TDX a bit in the sourcepoint review, but would love to see it directly in some of these comparisons with the higher end speakers.
Always enjoy your fun review style. Still love my elacs.
The Linton's were designed to be listened to with the grill on which automatically puts them at a disadvantage for the last octave.
Thanks Randy for doing what you do. Nice little shoutout from Darko.
Thanks again CAM! Was hoping you would group these speakers for a review. Best selection for value I think. Competition, look away, try not to cry... For us poor people with caviar taste, there are great values and great products for sale if you know where to look. And much more BS also... Save money and heart ache, watch Cheap Audio Man Randy. I run Elac DBR62's with tube/class D amp and am very happy. Don't miss B&W's at all. Might like a powerful tube amp in the near future...
Love Emotive, their customer service is second to none. From pre-ordering the PT1 preamp (based on CAM review) to support with technical issues.
Nice comparison, good job Randy!
Debut B6 / UniFi B5 owner. Linton owner. Criton 1TDX builder. The MoFi sound interesting, but I think all my sonic bases are covered. Saving over the next decade for a pair of Cornwalls. From the reviews and experiences I’ve seen from across the interverse, I believe they will deliver endgame. Thanks Randy for upping your game - your videos are looking great and the content continues to get better! Congrats on hitting 190k!
If you had to compare the 1tdx vs the Lintons, what would be the differences (pros / cons maybe) from your perspective?
@@danielh12345 The Criton have a much larger presence than their dimensions would suggest. They are effortless with bass control and texture, if that makes sense. I used to feel the Elac Debut B6 had a similar warm and full presentation, but after doing a cold Turkey swap from B6>Criton, wow did the difference show immediately. The Criton are a different level.
The Lintons are more defined in the midrange if I were to compare, and the bass is less impressive vs. Criton. Female vocals do seem to sound more present through the lintons. Chris Cornell’s live album played through the Linton is especially moving and would be more ‘in the room’ present with the Linton’s. Their larger box lends to a larger sound, but it’s frankly not as polished and space-filling as the Criton. It’s contrary to my brain looking at a larger speaker, but closing my eyes, the Criton seem larger. I think it stems from the magic 7” CSS paper cone woofer and the high end crossover. Hope this helps!
@@4thewinir344 thank you! What a wonderful descriptive response. Definately helps me!
@@danielh12345 No problem-it’s one comparison I was hoping Mr. CAM would tackle as he was the reason I took the leap in building the DIY Criton
@4thewinir344 building speakers is so fun. I've built 2 pairs of Overnight Sensations so far, one for me, one for my brothers birthday. Of course his are finished slightly better cos they were the second pair, probably also cos I wanted them to be as close to perfect for him as I could get lol.
Thanks for the great content.
Great video Randy!
Congrats on 190k, and a future congrats for 200k!
I have the Lintons and have been super happy! If I were to upgrade, I would probably try something with a totally different sound signature like some Magnapans but that’s just me
Woot! commenting to enter the contest :) also, just built my first desktop system from one of your videos.
Your channel has really helped me get back into better sounding audio. Appreciate all your efforts! Hope the Metallica show is amazing!
I'd still pick the Linton... Great "almost shootout" review!!! 👍👍👍
Love this channel!
Great video, thanks! Darko just did a video on some European HiFi awards, and the Source Point 8's came out on top in its class.
I'll check it out
All i want to know is how much of an upgrade am i really gonna get if i get the lintons to replace my elac debut 2.0 b6.2?
Great description of the differences in these speakers.
Great video! I like the price range of products you review! Thanks
Comment for the algorithm (and the 200k sub extravaganza). Always enjoy your reviews - they're a large part of why there's a Wiim Mini feeding and SMSL SU1 in the office setup 😁 (for completeness, SU1 is going into a NAD 302 integrated driving Mission 731s on Kanto stands..)
Early Congrats on 200k, because I know you're gonna hit it!
Keep doing your thing. The 200k will be here in no time
Great Vid... Whistle.... Classic!
