About 15-20 years ago the Lintons and Dentons were about the most popular
reasonably priced speakers you could get (in fact you could even get
them as kits from Warfedale). As I recall they were replaced by the
Diamonds.
I think (though I could be very wrong) that the power handling was of
the order of 25 W/channel.

| The age is right, I have a pair of Denton XP2 and a
pair of Dovedale 3. The Dentons are about 25W and I
believe there is a panel on the back with does give
the power rating. They are about a foot high and cost
about 50 pounds in 1976ish. The Dovedales are used as
coffee tables and give a great bass sound ! Perhaps
the Lintons were the size in-between ?

Yes I think they are, there about 18 inches high X 9 inches square.
Would getting some spiky speaker stands be a good idea?

Yes, I think most folk would reccomend some rigid, spikey speaker
stands for any small(ish) speakers.
The only problem is that decent stands are going to cost more than you
spent on the Lintons :-)
A few metres of QED 79-strand cable would probably be a useful (and
cheap) tweak as well.

| i've still got my XP2 speakers - after a period in the loft,
they've been doing a grand job in the kitchen for the last 6
years or so.
i think i paid about �35 in 1978.
i thought they were 30 watts/channel?
