Afraid I wasn't a fan of the Lintons which I owned back in the 70s.
It's all a matter of personal taste, and I prefer a more 'open' sound, which I suspect the SFBs may have provided when properly positioned within the listening room.
Performing as doublets, the interaction with the room acoustics was part and parcel of the SFBs overall sound, and I agree that their optimum positioning may not have been domestically acceptable.
However, I notice there are some modern behemoths out there which I suspect are owned by enthusiasts for whom WAF (or its gender neutral equivalent) is not a priority!
