Graham Sutherland / Polynomial on Nostr: your annual reminder that any brand recognition you have for AKG is now for naught ...
your annual reminder that any brand recognition you have for AKG is now for naught because Samsung bought them, moved the manufacturing out of Germany, discontinued most of the classic AKG lines, and all the engineers left.
I just remembered that this happened and it made me sad.
most of the AKG folks are now at Austrian Audio.
