tried the search function, but it didn't spit out anything.

does anyone have experiencing using this one? does it deliver in terms of bass frequencies?

Spend just a lil' bit more and nab a set of the 393 bluelines. Check the yard sale. Was a set for sale for at or under 500. Definately worth the extra cash spent.

That's great. Welcome to the AKG family! I personally love the AKG sound. It'll be interesting to hear some recordings with the 170 series.
