You need some happening gain with your pre in order to drive them.

I like the CADs, APEX and ATs better, in that respect.
The MXLs are okay for instrument mics.
And they are okay on certain singer's voices.

As I said, you better have a decent pre-amp if you go with MXLs.
i plan to do some mods to make it better, capasitor to start with then a capsule little later on. im sure it will be fine. And i think my preamp is fine (roland mmp-2).
