One problem might be the stereo setup as they are super small and I would like to exclude any phase issues from the beginning.

I am not sure what phase issues would be introduced by their tiny size. I made a recoding of the Mendelssohn Elijah with the 4061's and it sounded fine to me and to the choral director. She is a Ph D in mus ed and has run chorales for years here and in Canada. She prefers the 4061's over the 4006's for recording her chorale. Her ears, not mine. I like their openness and silky upper registers. They are almost perfectly omni. But do not believe me, check any of the threads here on the 4060's.

I run mine without the grids when recoding the chorale which gives them an essentially flat 20 - 20kHz response and it is quite smooth. My disclaimer, again, is that I own and use SD recorders and DPA mics. I am pleased with them.
