What can I say? They're simply never the wrong choice for anything. There might be a better choice...but they will never be the wrong choice.

This brings my total to 4. Now I can stereo mic mandolin and guitar in sessions.
My ultimate goal has been saving up for a real U47, but I keep getting distracted along the way.

Betting you a whole dollar US(!) Ward, payable at NAMM 2021... That Neumann will come out with the KM84 Reissue. Chris P.S. If it takes me 5 years, to make a dollar back... It's still worth it!

I may have reached the end of adding Sennheiser MKH's, though I wouldn't mind another MKH 20......
I keep stacking an MKH20 with a KM131 on the same clip to see which wins, and many times I blend them to some degree. Or go 50/50 and pan them.

The new km100 series are not great. Not even on the same level as most SDC.
Congrats on the km84s!!
I would also check out the DPA4011a sometime. Stellar.

Absolutely positively NOT happening: Neumann (Sennheiser) OK, got it! "Such assertiveness ... & conviction!" Because of the MKH I guess?

Not really . . . I just talked to their guys at NAMM and pressed them all, and had a very declarative statement from the head of parts and service, I'll find his card and qualify who it was. He said they've talked about it at the board level and considered the KM184 being current and didnt't want to erode that customer base, so they decided against doing it, PERIOD. I pressed for maybe some day, he said definitely not. I stated well, I own your U47FET and U67 reissues and can verify there's a market and he said in a loud voice with other Neumann management present "Absolutely positively NOT happening". I think that's foolishness. But that's just me, and you, and everybody else here on RGO.

The topic was growing German families.....aunts, uncles, cousins. I sold KM140's because they didn't work for me in the free field, sounded fine diffuse field, which was rare around here.

Nah, they are distinct products with distinct sounds. All have their place.

Any of the new SDC from Neumann are not good. The km130, 140, 185, whatever. All are not good. Schoeps dpa and Sennheiser all have them beat by a large margin. If you like them. Fine by me. But you're missing out on better choices.
