I am perfectlyhappy with my 393's, and was happy with my 391's...and have been extremly please with most blueline shows I have heard.
I do not know jw or anything about him....but why would you want a pair of mics that need to be "modded" to sound good compared to the bluelines which sound good stock? they are the same price in the end...and I will NOT start to insinuate (like others did about Oade) that he does mods on one and not the bluelines, which helps his business)....I am only wondering about why a "mod" over another stock, if they are same price, yet the stock bluelines offers interchangeable caps...and more support, as jw would be the only one to help with the modded mics...
