| I don't think Ben is coming out of left field on this. I've heard from a couple of other experienced engineers that KM-140's sound a bit different than KM-184's. If memory serves, the reports were that the mid-bass sounded different. I think I read an interview in which someone from Neumann attributed this to the modular construction affecting the body resonance.
I don't have any personal experience on which to base a comparison. I've only used the KM-184, and it wasn't my cup of tea.
