"what do you think of your 4051a's?"
i think the 4051s are really nice mics, especially for the price. they are a nice complement to my other mics (cmc64s, c480s, dpa 4061s), very clean and open sound, and rather similar in sound to dpa 4011s to my ear. i have been using them lately on a piano/flute duo to mic a 7'4" bosendorfer - very sweet. they make a great ORTF pair for live work, and are wonderful on several things in the studio. they are significantly better than the at4041s, btw.
