I've been reading the thread referred to above, and if you ask me
it's just load of nonsense presented as informed opinion. This is
quite common in audio reviews these days.

The same reasoning can be used for any microphone. Sometimes it will
have exactly the frequency response you require and sometimes not.
That's about all there is to it.

Indeed the C1000 has some boost at the top end. So what ? In many
cases that is what you need, and if you don't you can just use some
gentle EQ to remove it. Or are we still living in the 1950's ??

To describe a mic's sound as 'harsh' - implying low-quality - when
all there is about it is some HF boost just shows that whoever is
doing this doesn't have a clue about what he's talking about.
