Also I noticed the volume of the ECM was attenuated quite a bit. So in order to compare aplles to apples again the gain of the TLM should be reduced about 3-4 dB or the gain of the ecm sample increased 3-4 dB.
The fact that the TLM is louder will make it appear to sound "better".
As far as X-Y not working on an omni mic you may be correct. Simply the point was to re-arrange the patttern of the mic.
Another technique would be to place one ECM very close to the source and another a few feet away. Then hard pan the the mics L-R to give better stereo separation.
These mics (ECM8000) work very well for vocal mics in a choral setting. Especially when hung overhead several feet apart. These are not "in your face" mics like the TLM. These mics excel in distance micking placement in my opinion. That's why they serve well in calbrating rooms for modal frequencies and reduction of feedback.
