old marshall vs. . new marshall

I have been doing some gtr tracks this week and have been using 2 marshalls. One is a 1971 50w Make 2 lead amp. It says jmp on the front. The other is a brand new jcm 2000. The jcm shouldnt even be in the same room as the old one. I cant believe how whimpy the 2000 is next to the 1971. And the gain on the 2000 sounds like cheap dod distortion pedals compared to the 71.

Marshall MXL 2003

I own a pair of Marshall MXL 2003s. I've found them to be satisfactory for recording acoustic instruments and vocals, but I'm also interested in evaluations from those who have used these mics side by side with name brand large diaphrams like AKG C414s or Neumanns. On vocalists with higher pitched voices, the sibilance is quite noticable.
