Since you have the TOA K4's use them, they shine, I think they are flatter and crisper than the nak 300's now nak 700's is a different story.

I'd run FOB 3 20 to 30' from stage Toa K4's DIN (20cm @ 90°)
above head high if possible, if not even just head high with a few buddies as a quiet buffer blocker zone.
Your recording will smoke!

Or do the same with the Nak cards
If you can run 4 channels, spaced omnis and a DIN set up would be sweet.

So a bit of bad news on my end, I goofed on getting tix to this Wilco show as my wife politely reminded me that we're already scheduled to be in Montauk for that weekend, while I love Montauk I'm really bummed about missing out on this one and getting a chance to run a new open setup. That being said, I will be posting this pair of tix in the ticket exchange here and will gladly offer them at a bit of a discount if there are any TS members who are considering going.

Thanks for the suggestions on the placement and config–making a note of this for future reference. Unfortunately I only have one TOA K-4 (still looking to pick up that second one) although the set of K2s I picked up will be getting a test run tomorrow evening at the Rock Shop (a smaller room venue in my neighborhood) for the Damien Jurado late show. One of the reasons I picked up this pair was b/c I had read TS members preferring their sound/performance over the NAK 300s, although the differences may be subtle I'm still interested in comparing for myself as I continue to use both sets.

I have indeed been eyeing that MX 100 in the yard (looks to be in great condition), but given my recent scheduling mishap I've decided to hold off for the time being. there also seem to be a few floating on ebay pretty regularly though not as clean.

Sorry to hear the news  ~ It would be an awesome  show, no doubt. Sometimes family is more important...
I purchased a set of TOA K1's in 1986 Between me and a few other taping buddies, likely at least 1000 shows were recorded with them. Alas one mic needs some major work, some day I'll get them running again. The K4's were a step up from the K1's
However the K1's could run off a single AA battery. K4's Phantom early.
If I ever get the tiem to work on my K1's I may mod them, not sure yet.
I have nothing bad to say about Nak 300's ar any Nak - I really like them. Sometimes my ear  likes the TOA's better, just a different flavor.

I recommend that you drink the hell out of their Hennepin, and finish your night with a 3 Philosophers.
Enjoy and have a blast. I love that town.
