Sorry, I can't vouch for the particular models you're looking at, but I've been using a pair of ADAM S3As for 2 1/2 years now & I've been estatic with them! Also, I've heard the Dynaudio BM 15A at a few studios and I've been craving them for a few years now for some alternative monitors...
I've had a few different tom mics over the years and always seem to come back to 57s all around toms... However, I always say it'd be nice to have a few 421s again, so that I can change ii up... Maybe one day when I have everything else I want... :D
I have a pair of Vintech X73s that I'm considering getting rid of, but I keep on going back and forth on deciding if I really should go through with it.
As mic preamps alone, I found them to be somewhat "picky" with what mics you plug into them; which is fine for me, because most of the time, I...

The reason why it's a "buzzword" is because Class A kinda seems to have a "sound" to it... A sound I'm not going to even attempt trying to describe (or attempt trying to explain how), but there does seem to be something there; even if ever so slight (though it doesn't seem to be all that...
Trade ya for my Mackie SR32*4 VLZ-PRO... Seriously I would... Or trade ya something.
But, I bet you want cash, so someone best snatch this up! It's one great console!
Sounds like you're looking for something only you can find yourself, on accident.
I think most of those have pretty much all been found though and now-days are not all that cheap anymore.
Nevertheless, you might find what your looking for with some-sort of old Altec, Western Electric, Gates...
I wouldn't say most people around here are looking for clean neseccarily... Usually they're looking for cheap; and that usually happens to clean; or I should say a design attempting to be clean.
Lower-mids hyped for more snare drum punch? Sounds like you're looking for an API or API-type.
API...
Yeah, I was going to say I can wait for things, unless I really need them. I couldn't wait for my HD24... I probably had the first in Sacramento. Now it's already $500 less. Oh well. I can live with it.
Here's mine:

Except the Trident EQ is gone, an 1176 Reissue has been added, and a Deaf Dog Designs Dottie preamp will be arriving by the end of the week. Also, I don't have each mic model listed, just the brands.
Of course, there's always some...
Direct comparisons like these are hardly ever much use to the people who weren't actually there.
Nevertheless, I did detect some ever-so-slight variation that might not have just been the playing.
If I was just going to be doing a 4-mic drum setup (OH L, OH R, kick, snare), oddly enough I'd...
As I said, other engineers can get good results with it somehow (must be in the mix), but I sure can't! I've just never been able to get a good enough balance (a balance I prefer) between the umff, punch, and attack wth a D112 on kick... And it has NOTHING to do with position! No matter what the...
