In the meantime check out this terrific youtube video featuring terrific arrangements, great playing and a wonderful tone from a pair of AT 4050s.

Thank you, Thank You so much...your two replies is very helpful and exactly what I have been asking for! You have lead me in a new direction...and help me see another possibility. Beautiful recordings using the AT4050's..and I had heard some other recording with AT that were nice...So AT's were under consideration..but I had not heard them the way I wanted to..so this opens up the picture.
You have the picture!...Spaced pair..Open sounding...Which is one of the other elements in the Mix(to coin a phrase) The large diaphram verses the small..What I like about the large diaphram..is its ability to capture more of the body sound...giving it a slightly smoother tone. What I dislike about the bigger capsule is you loose a little bit of dynamic range(which I always thought was transients=and now I am coming to learn that it actually might be dynamic range) So maybe the two combined!!!
I could not open up the Gefell M300 recordings..but would love to hear them...They would be out of my price range at $1000 each..but..maybe I could find a used pair? So I will try and get that to open up for me.
