You can get an idea of the space and mic placement here:
Natural Studio Records: Two days of spontaneous composition
I experimented a great deal with mic placement and also tried out various Schoeps pairs (MK4, MK2 and MK21), but the Coles 4040 in Blumlein won out in the end. We both agreed that, although a wide MK2 pair was very good (and very similar in sound to the 4040s), the Coles had that extra je ne sais quoi.
