Rob:
Yes, I've actually found the MKH20 to be a bit too sensitive at the low end,
at least to my liking. There is often an emphasis of distant rumble which
has to be filtered. However, this is not to say the MKH20 is not flat. I
think it is rather flat down to below 40Hz. It's just that usually I'd
rather have a bit of rolloff way down there, except in very specific cases
where very low animal sounds must be reproduced.
Lots of folks these days have home entertainment systems with subwoofers.
And often the subwoofers are cranked too high. This emphasizes the very low
end and can make distant traffic that is inaudible in nature very audible in
someone's living room.

Sorry if my remarks were confusing. So far, I've found the low end
response of the R183B/CS122 in the field to be well balanced and
well-defined down to 40Hz. I would not choose the MKH-20 over the 183
if low end replication was a chief goal. Both do pretty well in my
estimation.
