Loudspeaker with K1000 drivers .... very interested
I own a K501 (get it from an ex AKG stuff member) , I had a K1000 for a while (loan from an AKG stuff, bust get them back) and now I have the new K812 Pro
All this offers another line of music presentation in contrast to the K/Q7xx line.
Have you some contact to ex AKG stuff members, please send me a PN/PM
Loudspeaker consisting out of AKG K1000 drivers would be awesome - but an even more outlandish "loudspeaker", both in price AND performance, did exist for a brief moment in the early 80s of the previous century.
It consisted out of several hundred per channel of the then top of the line Bruel & Kjaer microphones in paralell - driven in reverse. I got this piece of information during the official B&K presentation of then brand new 4006 microphone, early 80s. That must have been world's best "loudspeaker" ever - BY FAR.
Unfortunately, I do not even dare to start to think what those babies would do to one's wallet...considering that a single pair of comparable Bruel & Kjaer (or DPA these days) microphones set you back for approx 5K ...
