I've used the Schoeps stereo bar with a pair of W20's on my CMC64's
but I've always used it on a stand seen here:

I'm not really sure if I could hand-hold this rig quietly or not. One
thing you can do with the Schoeps shockmount is change the elastics
from a "stiff" set to a softer version. They usually recommend the
stiff rubber bands for the heavier rigs but that extra tensioning
might transmit hand movements too much. However, for the amount of
money that Schoeps charges, I think their shock mount is a plastic
piece of junk! I usually substitute an Audio Technica mount instead or
I fire up my MKH30/60 rig instead but that stereo Rycote enclosure is
HUGE! ;)
