Michael... incredible thread, I love it. I intend to buy this album just to hear your work AGAIN if nothing else. If it rocks, all the better.

Question: How in the hell are you getting away with jamming those mics right smack in the middle of the speaker cones? All I ever get is a thin, grainy, scratchy hateful sound in that area. Is that where the Royers come into play, by cleaning up the mess? What about low end? Is it the "sounds like crap now, works in the mix" kind of thing? It seems there isnt any low end coming from that area at all. I'm craving a Royer now, just to see what they're about. I;ve heard a lot of people say they cant use them without another mic with them on guitar cabs. You seem to use mainly the royer alone though.

Thanks!
