Yeah I had no problems with the R121 set up a few feet in front of a drum kit. I can't remember where I had the gain set, but it was probably somewhere in the middle of the range. The output was likely maxed. The Royer sounded like a Royer. The ACMP84 I was using lacked some of the detail that the Pacifica provided, but it was certainly no slouch. It sounded robust. An interesting thing to note was that I preferred the R121 with the 1200 ohm setting whereas I thought the 300 ohm setting really brought the ACM3 (Royer copy) to life, giving it a lot more weight and midrange mojo. It was hardly a scientific test, but no strange distortion problems jumped out at me. I can't say that I tested the higher gain settings though since the source was quite loud.
