A most unfortunate model number. I guess no English speakers where involved in the naming process.

Woah, retro to the max!

Oh, and Dobro, I totally agree with you.

 There are those who treat music as a convenience.

Yes and no. The K242 was a sextett sold in europe (maybe only france?) after the K241 became the K240-M.

I would be very surprised if AKG started using full passive drivers rather than filter patches at this juncture.

I'm sort-of digging the retro look, but I'd still prefer a contemporary design. While we're on the topic (sort of) what's up with the HD-600 looking like an expensive countertop?
