I have a nice purple badge U87 that has sounded best thru a 1073 or V76. I've tried API 312's (3124+) as well but vox sounded a bit forward in the midrange, bringing out the "honkiness" that U87s can exhibit with some singers. I have yet to try the 87 with my Neve Porticos but from my experience with the 5012 this summer I'll bet it sounds purty.
