Hi Mark, I'll be the first to bite:

Neumann KM184. Reason? Schhhhzzzingle!! Way too bright for my tassssste. Bought them assss my firsssst matched pair, then a pair of MK21 ssssshowed me what I was misssssssing. Sold 'em and replaced with Gefell M300.

Earthworks QTC1 pair. They were OK mics, really good on organ projects, but beyond that application just seemed too hard and cold (compared to my MK2S pr). They get knocked for being noisy, but frankly that never was an issue with me (organ wind noise always trumped the self noise). Sold 'em and replaced with a pr of 8020.
