Probably it's my fault as I'm not an engineer, but while I can hear with Schoeps so much more detail in the sound, the recording result is very bi-dimensional and with poor dynamics. Very definite but sterile and with a sort of veiled sound on certain frequencies.
Yes it is certainly not the fault of the MK21's

The rest of your chain does not do these mics justice. And if the acoustic is no good then you will hear that more so than with the previous mics that you used.

In fact if I knew that most of my recordings would be takng place in poor acoustics I would certainly never opt for an MK21. To me the MK21 is far more omni than directional in that respect, it takes no prisoners in terms of its portrayel of the room AS WELL as the source/instrument.
