KM184 (just got a second pair)

A Neumann U87 sounds great on lots of things, which is why it's as ubiquitous in studios as the 57 is everywhere! I wish I still had one! I have a TLM-103 and its good but just not as silky sounding as the U87...

Apart from that I have a pair of Rode NT5s which are pretty good general purpose mics, esp when used as an XY pair.

Haven't tried KM184s, anyone compared them to KM84s?

I had a guy offer me a new KM184 for my old KM84. I didn't go for it - found out later that people are paying about 4 times the price of a new 184 for the old 84.

Hate to be a broken record but once again -check out:

Klaus comments on the 84 vs the 184 - if you do a search you will find it.
