What a treat! I d/loaded the 2nd set.
I get some of same low accentuated tone with my 30/40 M-S pair.
Almost seems like an interaction between the mics, maybe even
mechanical. Mysterious huh?
The 110 really compares favorably to the 20. The later is the most
open to my ears, but just a shade over the 110. How far apart were
the 20's?
The 80's M-S stereo image spreads a bit more evenly than the 30/60's
but I still prefer the A/B stereo image because even though it has
less spread, i can get a better sense of depth from the timing
differences. The barred owl in the mhk- 20 recording really shows
this off...
I know these took quite a lot of time to do, Thanks Walt!
