Reliable site to buy AKG k240?

I'm currently looking to buy the AKG k240 headphones. Does anyone know a reliable site where I can buy the AKGs for a low price?

I searched amazon, and AudioXtreme is selling them new for $80. Is there a lower price, or is this generally how much the AKGs go for? Just making sure before I pull the trigger for these.

Also, what do you think about the quality of the AKG k240? Am I getting the best headphones for the price?

Thanks!

I paid $61 last January for AKG 240's ... great buy at that price. That's about the most I would pay for them personally.

Amazon is usually the lowest or on par w/ price of competitors.

The cans sounded good ... build quality was what you expect for that price range ... I ended up buying another pair of cans in December ... Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro $152. More comfortable, better build quality and sound better than AKG 240. More expensive as well which is what you would expect.

In hind-site ... I would have bought something farther up the AKG line ... AKG Q 701 Quincy Jones Signature Reference or AKG 702.

I like Tyll Hertsens opinions at Inner Fidelity. He has a lot of video's on YouTube. That's a good place to do some research. Cheers & good luck.

Edit: Last year I also bought the Tony Bennett TBSE1 Signature Edition Headphone for $50 ... nice cans for the money. I use them for travel with my Ipod. You could still pick up a pair at Amazon for $60 (free S&H).

I got mine b-stock for $65. Not online though. We have a local chain of b-stock resellers called From The Warehouse.
