I did only a quick scan of some of the comments but I thought exactly the
same: Every mic will sound good in one position and bad in another. It all

You can love or hate mics for their quality or their sound buts that is
something different and in case of the sound something very personal.

Having more sound at the top-end to EQ away is also good to reduce noise...
