Nor have a heard a stunning recording made with CMRs.
Check LMA and they're there, but make sure that you're listening to a recording made with the best gear (like higher end preamps and such) and prime mic locations. The fact is that I think most people are using the CMRs with the tinybox/littlebox for low profile recording and honestly, IMHO while the LB or tinybox is a great product for the price, it isn't a V3 or a Schoeps preamp.
I notice a lot of people who were absolutely ga-ga over CMRs have sold them.
Please don't reach conclusions where there are none to reach. I can't speak for others, and I was never one that was ga-ga or otherwise expressed strong opinions on the CMR vs. schoepsnbox debate (other than I did express my opinion that Schoepsnbox fluffing his own gear was self serving.)
However, I sold my CMRs simply because I have KCY cables to work with my VMS5U preamp and needed to fund another purchase. I knew the CMRs would move quickly and they were the most expendable part of my rig that I knew would generate a quick $1K.
I'd buy CMRs again in a minute...I was very happy with the sound of CMRs and loved the flexibility they provided.
