First off, thanks for posting this... very cool.

So I don't know which is which but I don't like "three strum." My guess is that "three strum" is the KM184, it just has that hard sound that I never liked from the 184. That is the reason I sold my pair.

Of course that could be mic position and such but three is my least favorite here.

One strum has a little something in the mids I don't dig, it is a little scooped and phase'y. It's not like three, one strum does not have hyped high mids but it is missing something in the center that I don't love. It just feels.. well.... like a cheap SDC to me. Again mic position could have a lot to do with that.

Two, four and five are probably my favorites but I think two strum and five strum are my picks for this recording with two having the slight edge because it has a little more depth.

Thanks again, good stuff..
