Ian, I am surprised at you.
What an arrogant and ignorant response.
Your analogy to the Ford or the Apple computer is laughable.
Ford always made the F150 and Apple always made the iMac.
AKG in Vienna made the 260, not TelfeunkenUSA. You're delusional in asserting that your company already made something in the 1960's and now is making a re-do of something you already designed.
Despite my complaint above, I ended my post by asking what does the new 260's
sound resemble. What sound world does it inhabit?
You don't or won't answer that question and I made the mistake of assuming you are knowledgeable in this area. Why are none of the principals like Mr. "Porsche" Fishman or other management with design responsibility answering instead of you?
Your response is laughable.
