Swapping Avantone Mixcubes for Yamaha NS10's

Would like some information from people who've owned both mixcubes and ns10's.



I'm looking to swap out my mixcubes for some ns10's, the mixcubes are useful, however I'm thinking I could get everything I get out of the mixcubes out of some NS10's plus the low-mids (where my Adam A77x's are too forgiving) and mid-highs.

Anybody using both NS10's and mixcubes?

Tonight I finally got to use the Avantone on some tracks. Lead female vocals and backing vocals. I used it with an ADK TT tube mic both through an ISA 428 mic preamp into Pro Tools. The outs on the pres were sent through the line ins on the Soundcraft so I could add some verb for the vibe for her vocal parts without printing the verbs.



Need a new vocal mic under 500. Any suggestions? Avantone CV-12? SM7b?

I am looking for a new vocal mic. I currently have a RODE ntk but not crazy about it. Seems a little to harsh. Any suggestions for under 500 dollars?

(style is similar to coldplay/u2 stuff.)



I was considering the Shure SM7B or avantone cv-12. Any other suggestions or thoughts?



thanks

Avantone CU-2?

I know, I know, you supposedly CANT get quality recordings out of USB microphones.



BUT, I have heard AMAZING things about this microphone, and its abilities as a USB microphone as far as quality goes; comparable to non-USB mics well above its price range of only $199.
