I just re-read the last part of your post where you talk about the impedance and sensitivity. Yeah, those are studios.

Great headphone. If you like the newer revisions, you would probably love the original Sextett. It does everything the revision does but better.

They are power hungry beasts at 600 ohms with like an 89 db/spl sensitivity, but definitely worth it. Been daily driving them for a couple of years now.

Yeah, these were meant to be driven out of stereo power amps lol. Luckily with how far technology has come now days, it’s pretty easy to find a solid state amp that can handle them.

These things are also 50 years old and still hold up perfectly today. God I love vintage AKG.
