C42MP vs KM184

[hasbeen]

I love these Josephson C42 (matched pair) mics! I am test driving them but have not had a chance to a/b them against the Neumann KM184's (matched pair). I remember the 184's being really bright...but would love to hear some comparisons from any one who has had a better chance to listen to them both. Thanks!

For solo acoustic guitar, the C42s are actually brighter sounding than the 184s, up close at least (XY or ORTF at 18" or so).
