www.beyerdynamic.com for the entire line.
Currently, they're making the m130 fig 8, the m160 hypercard and the
m260 which is some sort of card, I forget exactly.

Don't forget the M500, which is cardiod. Although they're out of
production, there's quite a few around

The M500 is the one I was thinking about. I'm looking for one, for what
it's worth.

And I happen to have a pair of them. I'm selling one (I also have a pair of
M130s). They are both like new, but you're free to pick one anyway.

The lack of high end? Hmmm... maybe you had a broken one.

The lack of nasality and harshness despite a very pronounced high end, that
sounds more like it.

They pretty generally roll off above 10 kHz because the
response in a ribbon is mass controled above about there.
Plots usually show it to be greater than the -6 dB that
would be expected from that, though, and I'm not sure why
that is.

Send me an email with a valid email address. How much do you want for
the M500?
