Hi Derek--
Truth is, the anxiety will always be there unless one can listen to
and compare them. If Cascade will let you A/B the MBHO pair with a
MHK 30/40 pair, in my book, they'll rate as co-dealer of the year
(along with Dan Dungan's operation). Using the small 603 amps with a
fig 8 cap and hyper cardioid cap could make you very happy. During
the field test, especially note whether the mbho fig 8 cap is a good
match with the mid-- quite a few fig 8 capsules have lower output and
higher noise which compromises the overall performance. Your 722 has
m-s monitoring ready for the test, but also listen to the caps
discretely. Rob D.
