Yeah, that is kinda what I was thinking. Up close, they rock...but farther back, I am not so sure something else would not do better. I think I really like the highs, and good equiptment behind them does more for these mics, IMHO, then any other microphone I have ever heard. Some mics seem to do OK by themselves, but MBHO's to me, and this is biased because I use them, do better with as much HQ stuff as you can put behind them in the chain. I ran them striaght into a da-p1, a UA5, an ad1k, and now an sonosax sx-m2->ad1k, and thew differences between all of the tapes is much much more noteworthy than I had ever imagined...to ME!

I like the low end of the km140 setup, and may try those next if I get a realy good deal on them!
