The thing is.... Someone told on this forum that, he never put this mics as overheads or something important because of their bad response to transients, and because they compress to much. I understand that for some music styles this is not a good thing, but, for some rock'n'roll i think this kind of response is ideal, because we try to compress as much as we can (with limits of couse!!)
Is there someone here who have the Royers 121 and the T.bones, and is suficiently honest to put his ego and his spent money out of question, and agree that although the mics are diferent, you can do a professional work on the same degree with both? Because, i have listen to some shootout here in this forum, and my opinion, about it, is that they sound on the same stlyle, they dont have audible noise, and its all about small diferencies in the low and mids.
Does someone agree with me? Of course i have no doubt that the quality control of the royers, and the built quality is much better.
If someone have some room mics with the t.bones and royers, i would like to hear.

I own both and as much as I like my tbones for the price, they are not in the same league at all!
I use a tbone as mono overhead, sounds awesome there imo for rock and roll, this mic is a bug part of my drum sound when I'm looking for Dirty, kinda vintage sounding drums. The Royers are just pristine sounding next to the Tbones. This is truly apparent when mic guitar amps, stack like 4 guitars with the Tbone and it sounds nowhere near as big precise and compact as the Royer.
The Bone is great for a vintage, dirty, kinda bluesy vibe, if that's what you like go for it!!
The Tbone is definitely a great buy given the price but it's not the answer to all your needs.
I'll post a sample of the Tbone as mono overhead, don't have any track with it as a room mic as I always use Neumann for that app.
