I read and flagged all mails, but won't reply now to all mails, thank
you everybody.

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.

Regards,
Ralf
