BTW when you say stereo pair can you explain what that means? Like is 2 mics connected to the handheld or something else, remember i am a total newb for the most part. Although i've learned alot, atleast enough information about many options to read some reviews and hopefully make a somewhat intelligent choice, or atleast enough to learn from a dumb choice
OK then...

A stereo pair of mics is just that...a matched pair of mics that you connect to your recorder (or, as on the H4, are built-into it). There are a few standard ways to record with a stereo pair. You'll want to pick up a book on the basics of recording and learn all of this stuff. In fact, I would get the book first and the gear later when you have an idea what you want to do.

If it's a really good book, you'll end up wanting to spend $2.5M on building a great studio from the ground up and fitting it with everything great studios have.
