Hi everyone,
Well, I made the plunge. I just bought a Neumann KMS 105 and I love it. Last Wednesday night 2 of us got booked at the Hyatt my mistake. The other guy had this Neumann mic with him and he let me use it for the first set. I was immediatly sold on it. I went down Friday and bought one. I already have a U 87 in my studio, but this one is designed for live gigs. I had a gig Friday afternoon at a nursing home that has really bad acoustics. The room sounds like a cave. With this mic, everyone in the room heard every word I said and they sang along with every song, even the people in the back. The frequency response is incredible. I've been using a Shure SM 58 for more years than I care to count so this is definitely an upgrade. Rock on!
Joe

Joe,
The Neumann KMS 105 is an excellent mic and has a wide frequency response curve. Though the SM58 has been the "Gold Standard" for many years, I sincerely believe that technology surpassed the SM58 several years ago and left Shure standing in the wings. Over the past decade, mics have undergone some dramatic changes in overall design, particularly in the types of pick-up patterns and diaphram materials. The Neumann KMS 105 is just one example of these technological advances.
Good luck,
Gary
