gotta add the Peluso 2247LE to the list as well.

i just got to try out both the CO 538B and the Peluso 2247LE recently side by side. they were both amazing microphones. i found the LE to be smoother as where i found the 538B to be more "hyped"...the LE was more natural and lush to my ears. it was a no brainer for me. and my god is the LE a gorgeous looking microphone

im very interested in the p12 as well, from what ive heard. the main thing i keep hearing is how well it sits in a mix.

u b k, does the p12 eclipse a 414 TLII pretty badly in your opinion? i ask this because theyre both going for the c12 sound
