Topic: AKG 391's or 460's?

[Ryan Sims]

Can you still buy 460 bodies new?  I can't seem to find them.  I dig the sound of these a lot and I want badly to upgrade.

[jkbyram]

no, they come up every now and then in the yard sale though.

long live the transformer!   

I guess this isn't the right thread to suggest KM84i's.

460's can often be found on ebay, look there often and you will find a single or pair for auction

I had both in the early 90's would go with the 460's unless you need actives and then go with the Blue Lines (391'S).

Thanks for all the replies and good information. I love this site.

yes thanks for all the replies, I searched through this forum for info and I decided on the 391's I got a really good price on some new ones. I am hesitant to buy used stuff, even if I know the products and the person selling it are good, I like having the receipt and warranty(makes me sleep better at night ).

They seem to be around the same price.

the 461s will run you a few hundred more then the 391s
391 can usually be found used for around 400 while the 460 bodies alone are around 400
so depending on hpw much you really want to spend that might play into it

i have never owned 46xs so i can't comment but i did own 391/3 and loved them till i got my 481/3
