Avantone Cr-14 - holy crap.
Well, I just received a couple of Avantone CR-14 and CV-28s. Al I can say is that the initial tests on the CR-14 ribbons is pretty amazing. So much so that I’m wondering how the hell they can sell a ribbon that compares favorable with some of the best (and most expensive, like 5 to 10 times as much) ribbons I have ever heard. I know that the QC on these less expensive mics may be a little lacking, but I must have gotten lucky, because both of mine are stellar.

I have not put the 28s though any testing yet.

Impressive midrange without harshness. Better bass and less prox than expected in this price range. Back side has fantastic bass and impressive hi-end. Generally tight, focused sound without being sterile. Needs a ton of gain, but that was expected. Against a 121, holds its own - the 121 has a little bit more hi-end, but I actually prefer the mids and lows on the CR. Good investment of $250 per mic for sure.
