These LOOK like a M147 and an M149. I could live life w/o a M149, but something that sounds like a real M147 would be great. anyone had much experience with the new school Neumann?

Is the Neumann m149 the best vocal studio microphone, in the world ?

what is or opinion ?

thanks

Received this baby at a studio where i work. Sounds unbelievable. The best mic i ever heard. Does anyone know a better one ? Please i need some opinions.
Cheers

Quick question -
Does anyone here use a Neumann M149?
If yes, what is your opinion?

I have a M149 and IMO it's a very good mic, although very expensive IMHO. :)

I read opinions every now and then about it on the forums, a while ago Jon (Atack) said the mic was losing shootout after shootout and Jules said he has two M149's and he uses them only on toms.

Now please don't misunderstand me, I respect Jon's and Jules' opinion very much although I disagree.
