The Luna claims to be 'vintage' sounding. While I'm sure the Shure is more detailed and of better quality, the lo-fi sound of the Luna may be something I'd be more interested in. A quirky little mic may stick around longer then a mic that is easily replaced by something that just does a better job at a particular sound.

Better late than never. i own both, and think that the Lunas sound just like the cardiod setting on the Solaris. Here's a soundfile of a stereo pair where the instruments are set up about 4 feet from the mics. It's an mp3 file, but still...

In short, I like them a lot. Since I'm more of a player than a recording guy, I feel that any advantage I might get from more expensive mics would be nullified by my lack of experience/technique at recording.

Thanks for that review. I think in the seven years since those posts were made the quality of the M-Audio mics has been established. They are good selections at decent prices. They are NOT, however , found at those introductory prices of seven years hence.

By "both" microphones the previous poster was referring to the comparison mic, the Shure KSM 27 and not two of the M-Audio mics.
