I bought a pair of AKG P-170 condensers (about $100 each) to go with my Zoom, with great results. 4 channels to mix down to 2. Very full sound.

Well, I wound up getting a pair of CAD E70s for a great price. Not of the same caliber as the others we were discussing, but they came with both cardioid and omni caps so it seemed like a good learning set for me. I haven't had time to do too much with them yet, but right away can see it opens a whole other dimension of placement options. I've been surprised by how much I actually like the omnis in the little recording I've done so far...they sound much more "open" and natural to my ear. I just have them on one of those small shared platforms that mount on a single stand, but found they sounded pretty cool pointing "out," like opposite of an x/y arrangement with the omni capsules. I ordered a couple of inexpensive boom stands to do some more playing around. Seems like it's very trial and error, with a lot of fun learning ahead of me!
I'm also curious to try using the internal zoom mics as an x/y around the 12th, and then the E70s set back a bit and wider. Any thoughts on whether that would be advantageous in any way?
