My K 240 DF still is ok, it's just that I read that AKG won't produce it any more. I need it at home, a rental flat with neighbours ;). During the day I sometimes can use monitors and to mix music I use two pairs of speakers + headphones, but at night I can't use speakers and even during the day I can't use monitors all the times. Loudness of amps isn't an issue, crosstalk when singing into a microphone isn't an issue either, so I prefer semi-open.
