    Reply to review by 'Russell Dawkins' on item 'AKG K1000'

    I think most orchestral recordings are in fact bass-light due to mixing and mastering on over-resonant (in the bass) speakers. Listen to this (Shostakovich Symphony No 5, 2nd mvmt—Haitink, concertgebouw ) for an example of an orchestral recording with close to correct bass and the K1000s sound...

    I took my 1350s to a recording gig yesterday, alongside my trusty and long-owned Etymotic ER4Ss. I was recording a good choir in a small church and wanted to compare what I was hearing in real life with each of these. I already knew the Etymotics were very good at this comparison, as I have done...

    The reason I am hesitant is that I have the 240 Studio (2 years old) and had the chance to compare it to the 240 DF and preferred the DF in every way. On the spec sheet they show lower distortion for the DF and that's what it sounds like, plus the bottom and top of the Studio sound just a little...

    AKG 240DF vs 240M?

    thanks, Kevin. I can get these for $75. I may just take a chance that they have the same tonal characteristics as the DF model. edit: - after a little more poking around on Google, I am beginning to think that the M, although apparently 600 ohms, may have a different tonal characteristic...

    AKG 240DF vs 240M?

    I have an opportunity to buy a set of AKG K240 50th Anniversary model. I am wondering what they sound like - the K240 DF, the K240M or the K240 Studio - and I'm wondering whether the impedance is 600 ohms. I know I like the K240 DF very much, although I understand many (most?) do not. I own...
