I know you don't like them, Donny, but for me they've been the best things since sliced bread. I'm still using the Crown CM311A, which is the same mic used by Madonna, Garth Brooks and several other country singers. The sound quality is excellent by all standards, it's the large footprint that I don't like.

Gary cool
