Ben, Cucco, et al...

Recently had the privilege of recording on site a string quartet comprised of the primaries from the Midland Symphony plus a few guests...Each of the two pieces lasted 30-35 minutes, with wildy varying movements within the pieces.

I am looking for a good pair of small diaphragm cardioid condensers to use professionally on small classical ensembles and solo piano. What mics would one generally use for this purpose? Right now I am looking at Neumann KM184, Earthworks SR77, AKG C451B and Elation KM201. What does everyone think of these mics for this purpose?

Hi,
I'm looking for another reverb. And I'm just looking for opinions on this, before I get some rack-digi-multi-crap like everyone else. Like tape machines, it's probably going to be a pain in the ass, but will the result will be worth it? Or is this completely insane, I record in my basement!
