At one point there was a web page (started by old ts.com member Jason B) with pictures of pretty much every mic config using an AKG T-Bar and a pair of Neumann U89s.
Anybody know the URL, or saved the pics and can re-post by chance?
Thanks in advance....

My preferred solution for coincident configs:

Moke archived the pics about which I think you're asking:

For near-coincident stability, I like adjusting the AKG KM235 bar such that the mics are centered above the mic stand's vertical axis, instead of out in front 3-6". See attached pics below for what I mean - I prefer "b" instead of "a" for stability (though I always used a lightweight stand).

Thanks so much for the links! Those were definitely the pics I was looking for, though the 414 photos obviously help a ton too.
I think your reply got cut off...

Whoops, forgot to complete the post before, well...posting. Updated, now, with a couple pics to illustrate what I was talking about.

Ditto on the Windtechs for running coincident

This is stellar advice. Once I figured this out I was amazed at how much more stable my stand was. hanging them out front really makes even a big old bogen stand want to lean forward so much so that I was afraid that one tap from a wooks dread could make the whole stand tip over.

Just what I was going to start looking around for. Thx.

I have a set of 414's that I just got and am still learning how to use. the set came with the mark bar and I was told that the easiest and best way to run them was close together and at 90 degrees crossing each other.Looks like I need to buy two clamps. The pair also came with a 36" bar. Someone told me that I could run the mics all the way apart, but what degree do I set them at?

you can run either subcards or omnis spread pointed out ~30* w/ good results.

~30* what does that mean? I am headed to a couple of festivals this summer and was wondering how I should run them. Should I just leave the 36" bar at home? or are you saying to run them at a 30" split and point the LD's directly out to the sides or to the front?
-
30 degrees. as in pointed at/outside the stacks.
-
what about the split? should I run them all the way out with a 36" split? Someone had also recommended using an Omni pickup.

NOLA, there is a lot of information on stereo microphone techniques online. search this site or google for "stereo microphone techniques" and read, read, read. you'll learn tons and most of it is fairly easy to understand stuff.
here's a link that may help you get started...
