Wow, sounds great!
The DPA 4060's are real nice mics, but their selfnoise is rather high (due to
their size) for
an ambience recordist. That's the only negative element I could imagine for a
device like
the holophone (never used one yet, btw, would be very curious to hear some
examples).
You might have some hiss on your "Monks chanting in the far
distance"-recordings... =)
greatings,
