Also , seems that nobody likes or have an idea about DT100, and i am wondering if we loose something here

Thanks UncleErik , i just show we share some ideas :) No info though about k271 here ... So since now the closest thing to ESL's was to me the k501 , that's why i always return to it !! It's not only it's character but the remarkable opennes that comes close to panels , i still like...

Harbeths are not perfect (what is?) , but they can resolve details even in the bass notes very good , especially the M30. I also love Triangles , wich are very coloured in comparison, but do they have fantastic timiming , pace and dynamics yet easy listening !! Anyway, it's a headphone's...

One of the reasons i liked k501 was the they reminded of LS3/5A ..

So Linn's Akurate 212 ?? Never listen to them but i bet they're good.What is that you don't like with Harbeth's ? Do you feel there is a  low treble peak with k271-272 as i suspect ??

EYEdROP, that sounds like my ESL 988 !!! Excellent at some points as the DT48 , limited dynamics though .. Nice and helpful description :)   I wish i could have a despcription like this about k271.  

RexAeterna, that's what i thought .. 240DF! But can;t find them new , can you compaire them to K271-272 ?? Any info about them ??

orby,   i was trying to say about timing, need to say many things about that , but my limited English would not help. I want new cans , and k501 it's not something i can find, also as much as i like them they had flaws , like peak lower trebles !!!  

Musical !! A terme that'so subjective !! I call musical what gets the notes good , they start and end at the right time. "Timing" !! Anyway , it's out of topic,articulation is something that adds to musicality i think , make you feel harmonics , especially vocals ! This is what i am...

Ooops !!! Sorry :/ i thought you said you just bought them :) You really think are better to DT48 ?

congrats !! how do you find them so far ? Any info about the phones above also ?

Ok, since there's no answer , forget the previews posts. I m towards these as i look for the best, "BBC" like mindrage. Any opinions ?

Hmm ..it seems that no one  knows anything ... Any info about their sound signature ?  

I 've lived with AKG k240S, K501,Sens HD600, DT440 Beyer and others but i only kept K501 and DT440. I am more into speakers , i own Harbeth SHL5 and ESL 988, so i am the 'midrage' guy who wants a 'flat' but also musical sound , as i only need the bass to follow in music. I broke the k501 and...

Dear Pire, Thank you for contacting AKG. The K 317 and the K 319 are identical regarding sound and technically as well. Kind regards Horst Werner AKG hotline hotline@akg.com I listened to both and yes,they do sound sound about the same
