AT is a different beast than AKG though. They have a lot more low-end cans.

Good on you! Firefly is perhaps the best sci-fi TV series of all time... Now if only Fox hadn't been the network responsible for it.

But most importantly, a few of mid-end to high-end vintage cans.

Seriously though, I don't understand all the hostility directed toward vintage AKG's Does it bother you that they sound better than anything Sennheiser and Grado can muster?

Some people are afraid of them because the extreme level of music quality is new and unfamiliar to them. They are not angry, just afraid. It is ok though, it will be very good after you get past the first hurdle. Think about your first time with a woman. It is similar, but very different at the same time (more clothing, usually). I leave you with this.

Anyway, what are the AKG K300 like soundwise?
Maybe I'd get a pair as a gift for my comrade-in-musicianship.
He's monitoring on HD201's now. L0L.
