I am looking for the best stereo pair of mics for overhead percussion. I am willing to spend about $2000. I am considering 2 X AKG C 414 B-XLS. What are your opinions?
 
Couple of AT4041's would be nice, but what other uses would the mics be there for? Just percussion?

I've got a pair of Avenson STO-2 mics I'm eval'ing. They're somewhat neutral and musical. I think they're a little flattering to the room and source. If you want bright or lots of high end extension then look elsewhere. YMMV.

Also acoustic guitars, violins, piano
 
Oh yeah, tambourines. The mic must be good for tambourines also!
 
My "short list" of mics I use on OH:
Josephson e22s
Gefell M295s
Gefell M300s
Earthworks QTC-1s
Earthworks SR77s
Royer SF-12
I've tried many others, but the list are the ones that work really well.
