^ That's a nice options for tapers.
I'm back to considering picking up one of the fig-8's for the center M/S position in my rig, which should make for an upgrade over the Naiant X8S fig-8's I'm currently using.. once we get back to taping again. X8S is inexpensive and has performed well for me in that role, yet uses back to back cardioid elements with some spacing between them (about an inch or so) and I'd like to compare using a true single-diaphragm bidirectional in its place.
I'd love to try the B9 super/hyper as Mid, yet need the pair to fit into a single Shure A81WS windscreen. For that reason I'm most likely to retain use of the very small diameter DPA 4098H as Mid which can sit directly atop the 8 without greatly increasing its diameter. If there was someway to position the fig-8 capsule immediately behind and in line with the Mid capsule I'd most certainly try the B9 super/hyper as Mid, or the short-gun (which would require a longer windscreen, but of the same diameter, which is the constraint).
