a pair of unmatched MG m20 caps is MORE expensive than a matched pair of mk4(both sets of caps being new) from a favorite retailer that is on here?!?!

of course, this may vary from retailer to retailer, but still!

nickgregory · « **Reply #1 on:** September 23, 2004, 11:47:58 AM »

they recently increased their prices by alot from what I understand....which is one of the reasons that Gotham Audio quit selling them

That being said, they should be more expensive than mk4s...they sound better

nic · « **Reply #2 on:** September 23, 2004, 11:50:52 AM »

yeah, I personally prefer the m20 to the mk4, but the sticker shock makes me go something, something...

must find a set of m20's used now!

nickgregory · « **Reply #3 on:** September 23, 2004, 12:02:33 PM »

I guess $525-$550 a cap

nickgregory · « **Reply #5 on:** September 23, 2004, 12:05:49 PM »

wow, I got the m21s quoted back in march I guess...and they were $550 a piece

nickgregory · « **Reply #6 on:** September 23, 2004, 12:08:14 PM »

I know some folks bought stuff from this german retailer, but he still has m20 caps on the site for ~$405

$575. havent heard back from dalepro
of course, the price might drop somewhat after I tell them retailer x is cheaper than retailer y, etc...

you wouldnt want to sell your m20s would you?

Don't feel bad...the absolute cheapest price I've found on Neumann AK50 (hyper) caps was $725 a piece.

because of mg's suck ass marketing,their amazing line of mics...re: check out the um75 never got popular,tho they even had unique design(um900,m900,umt800 and mk102 capsules)
they deserve to raise prices..unfortunately for us,but then again you don't want these good people turning all neumann.

nic · « **Reply #17 on:** September 23, 2004, 06:27:06 PM »

its been awhile, but i bet dalepro would do it for sure, thats who i was told to talk to awhile back, but heath and i switched caps for awhile, so i get to try out the 63's for a bit, and ive already fallen in love w/ them after taping about 25 shows w/ them

i would love to toy around w/ the 62's too, moedown wouldve been perfect for that

nic · « **Reply #19 on:** September 23, 2004, 06:54:02 PM »

spreadheadtom · « **Reply #26 on:** September 23, 2004, 09:10:03 PM »

lucky enuff to get my 62's from bush. I'm thinking used pairs will start selling for more than they were purchased new. hope not though.

F.O.Bean · « **Reply #27 on:** September 23, 2004, 10:45:44 PM »

honestly, i would def sell according to price changes, i mean theyre still cheaper than neumann's/schoeps/dpa's
