Which one Mundorf? I had a couple of Kitharas for several weeks at home and I'd never seen any other looking similar.

beautiful Mundorf AMT 2510c.
Seems - on request - they are available as "nude" for dipole horns as well (with considerable cost saving due to missing front plate)

I think the only similarity is that ALL are AMTs (Mundorf, ESS, etc.) with a pleated diaphragm, but if you have a close look to a Kithara you'll be rapidly convinced that this beast is unique !...

At least it is half an ESS !...:-))

Unique yes - beast possibly - but nothing I'd think would have any sonic advantages.
Looks a little bit as if they agreed to pay half the tax for building half a Heil.

Fortunately the patent expired - maybe those Swiss missed it ...

Yes, absolutely. But then I listen at very short distance (1.6 meter) and don't play extremely loud.

Well in fact this device is really from another league ! The sound is very natural and it goes down to 600 or 700 Hz if XO with a 4th order LR filter, i. e. 24 dB/octave...

FYI the B&G ribbon I'm using now goes down to 150 Hz... and it does outperform any AMT when it comes to sound quality.
